The Conservatives retain only 99 seats or 29% of the seats in the Canadian Parliament&#8217;s House of Commons.<\/p>\n<p>So what does that mean for Canadian gun owners? First, let&#8217;s remember that the Conservative government under Stephen Harper did away with the ineffective and outrageously expensive gun registry. Second, there is this from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liberal.ca\/realchange\/guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liberal Party platform<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>We will take action to get handguns and assault weapons off our streets.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last decade, Stephen Harper has steadily weakened our gun laws in ways that make Canadians more vulnerable and communities more dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>We will take pragmatic action to make it harder for criminals to get, and use, handguns and assault weapons. We will:<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i><i>repeal changes made by Bill C-42 that allow restricted and prohibited weapons to be freely transported without a permit, and we will put decision-making about weapons restrictions back in the hands of police, not politicians;<\/i><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><i>provide $100 million each year to the provinces and territories to support guns and gangs police task forces to take illegal guns off our streets and reduce gang violence;<\/i><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><i>modify the membership of the Canadian Firearms Advisory Committee to include knowledgeable law enforcement officers, public health advocates, representatives from women\u2019s groups, and members of the legal community;<\/i><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><i>require enhanced background checks for anyone seeking to purchase a handgun or other restricted firearm;<\/i><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><i>require purchasers of firearms to show a license when they buy a gun, and require all sellers of firearms to confirm that the license is valid before completing the sale;<\/i><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><i>require firearms vendors to keep records of all firearms inventory and sales to assist police in investigating firearms trafficking and other gun crimes;<\/i><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><i>immediately implement the imported gun marking regulations that have been repeatedly delayed by Stephen Harper; and<\/i><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><i>as part of our investment in border infrastructure, invest in technologies to enhance our border guards\u2019 ability to detect and halt illegal guns from the United States entering into Canada.<\/i><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><br \/>\nWe will not create a new national long-gun registry to replace the one that has been dismantled.<\/p>\n<p>We will ensure that Canada becomes a party to the international Arms Trade Treaty.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The only thing positive in that list is the claim that a Liberal government will not create a new long-gun registry.<\/p>\n<p>I hate to say it but the next five years are not going to be good ones for Canadian gun owners.
