They'll have to come up with more than a puny 25,000 names in a national petition to lift restrictions on AR15s in today's public consciousness, James.

Hell, I led a provincial campaign in a province of less than a million to stop casinos, including 50,000-name petition (and support of every Baptist congregation) and I might as well have been spitting in the wind.

For all the RCMP problems, I'd put more trust in it than any political party, even if it is commissioned to enforce and not make the laws. Don't see appreciable public blowback there.
