Does Bill know about the magazine limit?

Well they leave lots of boxes for comments. So I commented away. It does seem to try and make something happening a forgone conclusion.

Yup, let me guess... you said no, and commented even though they asked you to comment if you said yes.
So.......... do you think our comments were automatically deleted?

These new proposed laws are not going in a good direction for law abiding gun owners in Canada...

The US definition of an assault rifle really upset me. Plus, it included reference to "large capacity" ammunition magazines, that are already prohibited in Canada.
How can any data from that question be legit now? What percentage of people that said yes, had issues with mag capacity?
Very dishonest. A question designed to get the result they want.

Guns
Remember... the Liberals think that all semi autos are evil assault rifles .
The PUBLIC consultation meetings are by invitation only !?! Nice democracy we live in.

survey
The Canadian Government put out a survey that references the US Dept of Justice's definition of an "assault weapon" as a basis for much of the survey questions? Why am I not surprised?

Wow you nailed that one.
The two about 'consequences for law abiding owners' peed me off and got them blasted. Why would law abiding citizens face consequences????

Probably because the decision has already been made, so it doesn't matter what anyone thinks

My comments were not pretty. What a waste of time , I told them I already need to open 9 locks before I get my handgun to the range and can actually fire a shot at a target, how much more restricted do guns need to be before we are beyond reason.

Maybe just add 5 years no parole if a firearm of any type is present during the enactment of any crime, if someone is injured or the weapon is discharged add 10 years and if someone is killed life25 these would be added to whatever the initial charge is and the only "people" affected are the criminals. To me this seems much more logical than punishing legitimate gun owners/enthusiasts.

Nothing but a "feel good" survey, when did the Liberal government (Quebec) ever give a dam what the citizens of Canada thought about anything especially guns. You get a chance to have a little rant, blow some steam but that's it.
Now when they do exactly what they were going to anyway they can proclaim that they asked Canadians what they wanted and that is what they did. The Liberals outright lie, and lie a lot when it comes to firearms.
Good news is when these useless POS Liberals get punted to the curb and the UPC get in, the focus on guns and gun violence will be directed at gangs and the illegal smuggling and use of guns where it should be.
As with most things the Liberals have done, their attack on legal gun owners have made them look like nothing but uneducated fools.....

Yup.
Or we save some bucks and outsource our penal system to a 3rd world country. That may cut back on recidivism...

Just so everyone is aware.. Some of these questions are designed to shoot yourself in the foot. For example
Where should we focus efforts to limit handguns?
a) Legally-owned handguns
b) Illicit handguns
c) Both legally-owned handguns and illicit handguns
d) Neither legally-owned handguns nor illicit handguns
e) No opinion
If you pick Illicit handguns as an answer, the government will turn this around and say that the majority of handguns used in crimes were obtained legally and then either stolen or sold to get into the hands of a criminl and therefore to reduce the illicit handguns used is crimes we need to shut down the sale of legally purchased handguns (handgun ban)
