Ted, you may have missed my report here of our last year's gun club annual meeting. Members would not take a position on looming gun control. I met with a half-dozen members of another club at the county range recently, one with an assault-style rifle. Similar response. The local gun shop owner put up his hand when I mentioned it, "I don't want to talk about it." Entreaties to a national organization provided unimaginative boilerplate, voice and print.
A majority favours gun control in rural Nova Scotia and those who don't have been worn down and dispirited by unfairness of the urban-rural divide. Urban has the votes. Our provincial government recently closed its biggest kraft mill arbitrarily after a poll showed 60 per cent of the populace didn't want it. No discussion with thousands of stakeholders, not even the owners or legislators.
My shooting-sports brothers, many close friends for more than 50 years who opposed successfully the long-gun registry, appreciate my efforts. Only now they see them mostly as beating a dead horse.
What a load of horse shit King! Your life's efforts consisted of unbridled support for Liberal Left anti-gun politicians in Canada and here.
You spent years here greasing the skids for the most anti-gun Liberal Left Democrats on the planet, and being nothing but critical of the Conservatives who worked to maintain our gun rights. Make us all laugh, and tell us you did not help Justin Trudeau by giving him your vote and your endorsement.
You were, and continue to be a Wolf in Sheep's clothing, and a Trojan Horse posing as a gun guy. It appears as though you plan to continue being dishonest about your own words and anti-2nd Amendment rhetoric... which will be your enduring legacy here.
You deserve it... you worked hard for that distinction. Congrats!
