You can present no evidence to dispute the claim that firearm owners' rights
are being trampled. It is not rhetoric. Much evidence and reason has been
presented to prove that C-68 is unconstitutional, violates property rights,
violates the right to remain silent, violates the right to be secure from
unreasonable search and seizure, violates the privilege of the provinces to
regulate property, etc. This is not rhetoric. C-68 gives unprecedented
powers to ONE person, to interfere in the lives of responsible people. Rock,
himself, has said that he doesn't know if C-68 will reduce crime and
violence, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary (much of it from his
own department). C-68 is not just about firearms, it is about loss of
freedom.

I do not own firearms, but I can still see that whether or not C-68 is
abused by Rock, it is worded in such a way that it can be abused by his
successor. If it is not meant to be abused, then there is no reason that it
needs to be worded that way. Either way, it is simply bad legislation.

This is self-evident by reading the ravings of such stalwarts as Karen
Gordon, among others.
