B]All the verifiable untruths Liberals have told about their gun ban[/B]

The push for Bill C-21 has featured an awful lot of Liberal MPs saying things that are extremely not true

A Canadian government should never be fully expected to tell the truth at all times, but the fight over Bill C-21 has featured an awful lot of instances of MPs and federal ministers saying things that are not true.

Bill C-21 started off as a pretty routine bill to codify some earlier Liberal orders banning the sale and transfer of handguns. But then, in an 11th hour amendment, a Liberal committee member slipped in a 400-page schedule of long guns to be criminalized.

By any measure, this is the most sweeping firearms prohibition in history and will ban whole categories of firearms that have only ever been marketed and sold as hunting arms. In response, the primary Liberal defence has been to simply deny that any hunting arms will be caught by the ban, even though this is easily debunked by even a cursory reading of the amendments.

Below, a not-at-all comprehensive guide to all the times that Liberal MPs have said verifiably false statements in defence of the Bill C-21 amendments.

Both the handgun crackdown and the Bill C-21 ban list apply almost exclusively to law-abiding gun owners as they seek to criminalize behaviour that has previously been legal and regulated. And, of course, the proposed legislation has no effect whatsoever on Canada’s apparently swelling ranks of gun criminals, who have already long abandoned their adherence to federal firearms legislation.
