Liberal gun bill misfires

When it comes to gun control, the Liberal government is either being sneaky, is deeply confused or is simply the gang that couldn’t shoot straight. Then came an 11th-hour amendment to the legislation that has unnecessarily reignited the gun debate in this country. The Liberal error was not in intent — it was a fumble on substance in an admittedly complex area and a complete fail on communication. Even Heidi Rathjen, a tireless gun control advocate and co-founder of PolySeSouvient, concedes the Liberals could have done a better job of communicating the amendments. Rathjen believes the Liberals’ list is solid, but imperfect, but in reality the government is endangering its entire gun control program with such a scatter shot effort.
