The gangbangers in Vancouver simply do not abide by them so making more laws is not going to do anything !
Now now, don't try to apply reason and logic to politics.

What is more when they are caught shooting each other up nothing happens to them.... the judicial system gives them a slap on the hand and off they go !

sheephunterabI enjoy bashing on Trudeau on social media as much as the next person but this registry is 100% provincial and has zero to do with Federal government. It would have happened regardless of who was in power federally.

Canuck32Except all that information that Quebec is using was supposed to be destroyed, by law, but a public employee or 2 illegally saved it!

Goodale says gun legislation coming in wake of Parkland student shootings
https://ipolitics.ca/2018/03/0...d-student-shootings/In the wake of the Florida student shootings that have galvanized anti-gun Americans and Canadians, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale promised Thursday he will table legislation “within weeks” to complete Liberal gun-control election commitments.
Goodale said he was impressed by U.S. public reaction to the Parkland, Florida, shootings and subsequent decisions by at least two national retail chains in the U.S. to hike the gun-buying age to 21 or stop selling assault-style rifles.
In Canada, the national outdoor equipment retailer Mountain Equipment Co-op reacted quickly Thursday to a sudden and fast-growing online petition and announced it would discontinue lines of sport and outdoor accessory brands owned by a company that also owns Savage Arms Company, one of the biggest gun manufacturers in the U.S. that has a Canadian subsidiary.
“It’s amazing, the commercial and personal outpouring in response to the Florida situation, compared to others where that didn’t seem to happen,” Goodale said. “The impact of this one seems to be far more profound, and may bring about significant change in attitudes.”
Goodale first promised a bill to implement remaining Liberal gun control promises last October, in the aftermath of a mass shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada, where a lone gunman used several semi-automatic rifles to kill 58 people at an outdoor music festival and injure another 850.
“We’re working on the final detail right now. It’s just about ready to go to the House, not quite, I hope to be table it in Parliament within the next very few weeks.” Goodale told iPolitics.
“Part of the difficulty in this period is we’ve got the budget process and we’ve got these two weeks on (in Parliament), two weeks off, two weeks on, which drives me crazy in terms of logistics,” he said.
Goodale indicated, however, that one of the Liberal promises — a requirement for all vendors to keep records of firearm inventory and sales to assist in police investigations and gun crimes — will not be included in the bill.
“The requirement that is mentioned in the platform, with respect to commercial inventories, is no different than what (Canadian gun retailers) are already doing, it’s just normal commercial practice, normal practice that is the standard pretty well the right across North America, including places like Arkansas and Texas,” Goodale said.
Goodale last November announced $327 million over five years toward anti-gang programs and a crackdown on gun crime. The Liberal platform promised $100 million annually, but Goodale said the regular annual transfers would begin after the first five-year period ends, in 2012.
Legislative changes would be required for other aspects of the campaign platform, including tightening down on transport permits for prohibited firearms and restricted handguns and rifles, including assault-style semi-automatics that can only be used at licensed gun clubs and shooting ranges.
The Canadian Firearms Registry shows a total of 979 AR-15 semi-automatic rifles — the kind used in the Parkland shootings — registered to individuals, business and museums in Canada to the end of January, 2017.
A total of 6,756 AR-15 variants were registered up to that time, a copy of the registry shows, while an RCMP table released under an access to information request shows a total of 52,131 “AR-15 type rifles and variants” were registered up to the end of December, 2016.

sheephunterabGoodale is full of BS. These changes have been in the works for two years and nothing has changed since the Florida shooting. He's dancing on the corpses of dead children to garner votes. It's sleazy politicing at it's best!
03 March 2018, 21:00
scruffyVery well put, sheephunterab. With a federal election coming up in a year or two, I would almost think that the Liberals have enough problems without instantly getting millions of gun owners enraged.
They could use some of those votes ...
But then I do not think like a liberal ...

04 March 2018, 08:46
medvedso Scruffy and TJ what you are telling us is they will do nothing?....
i do not want to be the pessimistic and hope i an wrong but they will do something to please their supporters ....
04 March 2018, 20:37
sheephunterabOf course there's changes coming...this committee has been at it for two years. It's just the changes have zero to do with the Florida shooting...they were coming already. He's just bringing that up to make people think it was in response to Florida...it wasn't. I know Ralph is your boss but he's as sleazy as the rest of the Liberals....in this case sleazier! Don't buy into the BS that this was in response to Florida...it just part of the regular Liberal anti gun agenda and was coming if Florida had happened or not!

medvedi know they had something in the work: it was part of their platform.
but i do think that they will use that tragic event to push it.
