Listen up
These petitions, all kinds of them are presented to Parliament, it used to be one day a week usually Friday afternoon, there were no MPs in the chamber, 99% had gone home for the weekend. The MP reads out his petition to the Hansard reporters (there are 2) who write down what he says. That is the end of it.
The MP uses the Hansard written transcript to impress the Hicks (that's) us at home that he is hammering it home to those guys in Ottawa. That is where it all stops.
The rub with this petition is in the wrong hands could embolden our opponents to think of other even more effective ways to save our hearing; close all shooting ranges, insist that they be 10 miles from any dwelling, only rim fire sub sonic ammo be used, you get the idea.
Unless the government brings the idea forward as a bill it will never happen!
This sort of thing has the potential to blow up in our face.
