Additional details, such as the Pam Damoff motion to dismiss the motion for additional consultations being defeated 6-5 by the BQ, NDP, CPC team-up, were posted to twitter by people who were live-tweeting the hearings.

Friendly reminder: If they were sincere about listening to the public about these amendments, they wouldn't have waited until after the public consultations were finished to introduce these amendments.

The bill is still being considered at committee and hasn't been finalized. The banning of hunting models would be a "red line" for the government. We're not going after guns that are commonly used for hunting. We are after the guns that exert the most lethal force in the shortest period of time.

Yeah, he said that.  But that was back on December 5. Their story has changed 3 different times since then.  We went over this already. Their party line is no longer "we're not banning hunting guns", it's now "if we ban your hunting gun, you can just go buy a new one that isn't banned yet."

The bill is still being considered at committee and hasn't been finalized. The banning of hunting models would be a "red line" for the government.

It's a "red line" they're comfortable crossing. Their list of banned guns includes numerous hunting models. Their "evergreen definition" will also ban numerous hunting models.

We're not going after guns that are commonly used for hunting.

The SKS is among the most commonly used hunting guns in Canada, and Marco and Justin have both made clear that they're adamant about banning it. They've banned by name a lot of other common hunting guns. Their evergreen definition will ban numerous hunting guns. They're certainly going after many guns that are commonly used for hunting. It's beyond dispute.

 Marco "Mr. April 31" Mendicino was lying, as per usual.

We are after the guns that exert the most lethal force in the shortest period of time.

(everybody drink a shot!)
