COMMENTARY – IS BILL S-223 A DANGEROUS "TROJAN HORSE?"
She's baaaack. Just when you thought it was safe to go into the Senate of Canada, along comes Senator Céline Hervieux-Payette with the newest incarnation of her Draconian anti-gun bill, now called Bill S-223.
This is the latest of several legislative introductions the honourable Senator has made to inflict a wicked piece of garbage on Canadians.
The bill would change the "Restricted" category to "Circumscribed", prohibit all firearms except a VERY narrow range of hunting firearms and “localize†the prohibition of restricted firearms. In other words, that's centralized lock up of some of your guns and destruction of the rest.
ALL SEMI-AUTOS OF ALL TYPES (except .22s) WOULD BE RESTRICTED/ PROHIBITED.
As well, no one would be allowed to move circumscribed (restricted/prohibited) guns except approved “Transporters.†Of course, these would be made up of highly trained, untouchable and steely-eyed folks – like Canada Post, but even better.
Guns would not be “registered†but “inscribed.†Says the good Senator: “You can appreciate that the terms ‘registration’ and ‘registered’ have been used so often that we simply thought that using the term ‘inscription’ would eliminate some anxiety. I think that using the term inscription does not evoke feelings of fearâ€"
Yes, it's true, she really does think you are that stupid.
Seemingly, she also thinks the media and the rest of Canadians are stupid enough to be fooled by this childish attempt at deceit.
The Senator also states: “The firearm death rate in the United States, a country with very weak gun control laws, was 10.3 per 100,000 population in 2011. That amounts to 32,163 deaths in one year, according to the National Vital Statistic Reports from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. That would be the number of deaths if 20 towers, like those of the World Trade Center, were to collapse every year in the United States. There were 2,977 victims on September 11, 2001.â€
Apparently she failed arithmetic too.
Twenty World Trade Center tragedies would total 59,540, not 32,163. She also quotes the U.S. example as proof that Canada is different because of our gun control while failing to recognize that as the numbers of U.S. firearms goes up, violent crime with firearms goes down. Apparently the Senator's facts only go in one direction and her prowess in deciphering and analyzing social trends and dangers is only dwarfed by her considerable mathematics skills.
As the last pail of stupid gets thrown into the tub, all restricted/prohibited would be forbidden to transfer.
There's a lot more too. Some 76 pages of legalese gobbledygook to decipher, but we are on it!
The bill cannot receive second reading until the Liberals and the Conservatives speak to the bill. The Liberals are set to speak on April 19 and the Conservative are TBA, but we are watching this closely. Bill S-223 has had a HUGE amount of work put into its creation. It took a number of Department of Justice lawyers a few months of work to create this one – and that is very concerning.
We will be listening to the Liberal's statement on the bill, anxious to hear if their promise to not create a gun registry meant that it was okay to create an “inscription registry.†If this bill passes second reading, we go to war!
Stay tuned, polish your armour and sharpen your swords.
