Hi Hugh
If you look at C-69 as an effort to disarm citizens (law abiding shooters, hunters and those wishing to defend themself (against bears)= bad) and try to win points with the electorate, using a pretend attempt to stem crime while causing all the repercussions you mention. I would think that it fits the bill as not carefully thought out and social engineering. It would be even more alarming if that was his plan from the beginning.

I think we can agree to agree.
