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?

He trashed the LGR, vastly simplified the ATT process, unbanned a couple of guns the RCMP went out of their way to ban. I'm not saying he was the second coming of gun Jesus but things did get better under Harper.

He didn't dump the LGR because it was bad, be dumped it because it cost more than $1 and, like every Conservative politician, the government paying for things is antithetical to their beliefs
