What makes me sick is when the Conservatives get back in power one day, it's not like they'll do anything to fix things. How do I know? What did Harper do?

I don't think that's true. I understand your frustration...I share it. Harper stopped the insanity of the LGR. Could the CPC have done more with their majority? Yes, they could have.

Will Pierre stop the attacks on gun owners? I am certain that as long as he has the power that will be true. I believe he will strike down all the OIC's and attempt to return us to at least pre-2020. Will he overturn the handgun ban? I dunno, it's possible but that would be a very hot potato.

It's not fair to say they will do nothing. Will we get a re-write of the Firearms Act? I hope so, but I doubt it. Will we get a common sense firearms classification system? Perhaps, but another long shot. Will we survive with some reprieves to the laws to fight another day? Yes, I think that for certain.

We need something more solid than that. Or else, they will just keep re-writing laws.

What we need and what we can realistically expect are two different conversations.
