Only optics

So yesterday the federal Liberals announced some new gun control measures, which make me wonder are these designed for domestic or international reactions?  Seems like he wants to be seen as the “adult” compared to what happened in the US.  I absolutely hate it when politicians justify measures based on what happens in other countries and while I think this is a pretty ridiculous comparison, more countries in the world ban LGBT rights than support them, should a government in the future legislate based on that?  Sounds silly when you extend the thinking doesn’t it?

The bill would create a new “red flag” law allowing courts to require that people considered a danger to themselves or others surrender their firearms to police.

See you can tell the Liberals are pandering because this framework already exists as does the ban of “large capacity” magazines.  This government only cares what makes it look good rather than doing good, maybe I’ll buy another handgun or two before this ban comes into place.
