Man I’m pretty damn left on most things but the conservative saying about never letting a tragedy go to waste is very true when it comes to gun control.

People love to listen to former cops except when it doesn’t fit their political narrative.  The gun control proposed would have done nothing to stop the NS shooter from going on his rampage but it’s a great political opportunity to push a bullshit agenda that does nothing but fool the public into thinking something’s being done.

The federal Liberal government is poised to ban some types of firearms — and those new prohibitions could be made public as soon as Friday, sources told Radio-Canada.

The gun control changes come in the wake of Nova Scotia’s recent tragedy, which saw an armed man kill 23 innocents and leave others wounded. The gunman, who was not licensed to possess firearms, used guns illegally obtained in Canada and from U.S. sources to carry out his crimes.

I think that last line is most important his guns were illegally obtained so how would more laws stop it?  Assault, murder, pretending to be a police officer are already all illegal but hey weapon laws will stop people in their tracks…  What utter bullshit, well you can bet I’m going to be calling my MP tomorrow about this, good thing I’m a Liberal part member!
