The way that this was done is the real horror. Even if you think it's a good idea to ban handguns the reality is the government of Canada can now use this method as a template to effectively ban anything.

So what will the next prime minister ban? Contraceptives? Liquor? Gas Cars? Fast Food? These may seem like extrema examples but the framework and power is now there to do it should some loon work their way into power.

I posted about this a few months ago.:

How Canada has made it illegal to buy a hand gun. A work-around for when things like democracy, checks and balances, and debate get in the way of a government. By the passing of this legislation, Canada has become a true dictatorship. I pity the future of this country.
