Bill C\u002D21 had popular support and then the government went too far. That they are still dealing with this mess is shockingly bad politics.
The problem is, of course, that his legislation — and amendments his own government tabled on their own bill — do target hunting rifles and shotguns. His government has also had horrible messaging on this from the start, telling people they were lying despite a list in black and white showing the indisputable truth..Since then, they have tried to assure gun control advocates that they will stand firm, while telling Indigenous leaders they are hearing them.
They should have simply reverted to the original bill by this point, rather than fight with groups the Liberals like to consider allies. I wish that were true because no one wants more gun crime except the criminals; Trudeau’s plan won’t deliver though. He’s made it easier for criminals to get bail, scrapped mandatory minimum sentences for gun smuggling and using a gun in the commission of a crime, while making life more difficult for law-abiding, licensed gun owners.
Police forces across the country have said they do not have the resources to set up and run such a program. The military and Canada Post have also both informed the government they can’t run such a program.
