Maybe some sense has struck across the border?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the face of a furious backlash against changes proposed to Bill C-21, Canada’s Liberal government has dropped two expansive amendments to the bill. Gun rights groups, opposition politicians and ordinary Canadians opposed the bill because it would not only criminalize mainstream hunting and sport shooting firearms lawfully owned by millions of individuals – guns that play no role in crime – but lacks any redeeming public safety benefits.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government introduced Bill C-21 last year to freeze the importation, sale, or transfer of handguns and “help stop the growth of personally owned handguns in Canada.” In November, in a sweeping shift in scope, a Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) introduced amendments to Bill C-21 that would add 1,500 or so long guns to the list of firearms classified as “prohibited” (banned) firearms.

Reality is the answer on both sides of the border centers on controlling gun owners, not guns. Ya I know criminals will always get guns but if fewer idiots who have no concept of safeguarding firearms had guns we would be better off in the long run.
