Who was talking about gun control? We were debating kicking the Fiberals out of power before they steal any more of our money.
The two subjects are directly pertinent to one another, not least of all since the gun registry was one of the biggest Librano heists.
But with direct and specific reference to the subject of getting the Liberals out of power: In America, one of the reasons the Dems lost power is because Pres. Clinton's words and deeds on the matter of gun control led many firearms owners to fear that their property would eventually be confiscated. There is a golden opportunity for Conservatives to exploit the exact same concerns by pointing out that, in the UK and Australia, registration
did lead to confiscation. There are literally
millions of Canadians with expensive hard-earned property who could be easily be induced into recognizing they have a material incentive to vote Conservative in order to see the registry scrapped, if for no other reason.
The Conservative party should not be above resorting to conspiracy theories and doomsday scenarios in this area; the Liberals certainly aren't. In particular, the gun owners should be made to fear not only the confiscation of their property, but that they risk getting imprisoned or even killed by the police
a la Waco, Texas in the process.
The Democrats in the United States are finally beginning to recognize that those who own guns are a lot more likely to vote against a pro-control candidate than those who favour control are to vote against a pro-gun candidate. Studies show over and over that most people who say they're pro-control just don't care all that much. Do the Conservatives- of all people- have to make the same mistake the Dem's used to ?
