So explain this to me: If the Liberals are so intent on reducing gun crime, how come they and the NDP banded together on Wednesday to defeat a Conservative MP’s private member’s bill that would have increased penalties for people who smuggle illegal guns into Canada?
MP Bob Saroya, the sponsor of Bill C-238 sought to increase the minimum sentences for gun smuggling and for being in possession of a smuggled gun from one year to three years. (Five years on a second conviction).
He also wanted to make it harder for suspects accused of gunrunning to get bail.
But the Liberals and their NDP lapdogs said “no,” by a margin of 169-149.
