I wish I was as optimistic as you 'Ghost...
The cons won't do s***.
At best they'll just leave things as they are now. The Harper gov't didn't do ANYTHING with the long gun registry until they had one foot out the door and even then it was axed based on cost alone, not some "standing up for legal owners" platitude... And maybe a final F-You to the incoming liberal gov't.
Although the
CGN crew would like to think otherwise, licensed gun owners are not a significant enough constituency to sway anything the gov't is going to legislate on.
