There is a ton of misinformation on these matters which is being spouted by groups which are, supposedly, pro-gun. I don't know what the purpose is. All that needs to be known is that the Liberal government has declared itself to be an enemy of a large portion of the population. So far, the response of most organizations has been to put out misinformation in an attempt to increase alarm within the shooting community or to do nothing at all and keep quiet. It is time for them to speak up for their supporters and stop the BS.
Authorities have been testing just how far they can push with covid-19 as an excuse. This attempted ban of legitimate sporting rifles and self-defense firearms is simply taking it to the next level. So far, everyone is being too quiet and they are getting away with it.
Make no mistake, the supporters of this order in council are enemies of our way of life. They don't like independence, liberty, freedom, or any of those words which denote a lack of control by a central government. For them, any Bill of Rights is an abomination.
To address domestic violence, the answer is to put offenders (male or female) in jail; restricting shotguns is no response. Sometimes, relationships are so toxic that both parties should probably be in jail. This is not the fault of Canadian duck hunters, trap and skeet shooters or guys who just like to have a shotgun in the house.
My recommendation is to respond by buying a shotgun and plenty of shotgun shells. Do some shooting and get active. GD
