Pretend for just a second that this argument was not about guns. Let us say it was about freedom of expression. The Liberals just passed an Order in Council with no democratic or parliamentary debate. This ban now prevents you from speaking your mind. I would be arrested for even writing this.

Or your vehicle. It is now prohibited because it was made for nothing but speed. You have two years to surrender it, at what is likely way less than market value. You have never hurt anyone with it, you have had it for years, but someone might steal it and use it to speed on a highway.

To this, they add 1,500 other vehicles. Your neighbour’s Corvette, your old Mustang you got from your Dad, all must be locked away and not used. These are way too powerful and not needed on the street. You cannot even bring them out to show anyone. The police know you have this vehicle and can knock on your door at any time to make sure you are storing it properly. Oh, and if you do not turn them in within that two years, you are a criminal. It is a scary parallel, but relevant.
My favorite analogy!

Thank God we have the 2nd Amendment!

Between 400,000,000 and 6,000,000,000 guns in the U.S.

Of those about 50 million "assault rifles"

2 to 3 million guns sold in March


2 to 3 million guns sold in April
