I heartily congratulate the New York State Police for doing what Public Safety Minister Bill Blair refuses to do – arrest gun smugglers and put them in prison.
On October 17, 2020, New York State Police pulled over a vehicle for a routine traffic stop on Route 37 in Oswegatchie, NY.
Ayub Y. Guled, a Canadian from Toronto, was arrested for illegal possession of firearms and charged with:
- Criminal possession of a firearm (8 counts)
- Second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (8 counts)
- Third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (10 counts)
- Third-degree criminal sale of a firearm
- Fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property
- Second-degree criminal impersonation
According to one news report, New York State Police “seized handguns, high-capacity magazines and enough ammo to start a revolution in the developing world.”
At the time of his arrest, Guled was just 10 minutes from the Canada/US border.
Ayub Y. Guled and other illegal gun smugglers like him are why Public Safety Minister Bill Blair needs to pull his finger out of his butt and implement a definitive plan with measureable benchmarks on how he will stop the flow of illegal guns into Canada.
So far, the only action Bill Blair seems willing to take is re-announce a mythical $327 million in funding to take guns from gangsters and drug dealers and stop cross-border smuggling.
Beyond his endless recycling of this announcement, our Public Safety Minister has done little beyond virtue-signalling to – and I’ll use his own words here – “keep Canadians safe.”
Meanwhile, he touts a new “evergreen” gun ban list will solve all of our problems.
Bill Blair steadfastly refuses to explain how confiscating more guns from licensed firearm owners will stop smugglers like Ayub Y. Guled from plying their murderous trade and killing more innocent Canadians like the 12-year-old boy who died during a hail of gang-related gunfire earlier this month.
Hi Christopher, A small though passed through my mind while reading about Ayub Y Guled and his smuggling enterprise. What would you want to bet that he was able to smuggle firearms easily because our border guards, whom I have a good deal of respect for, but if they were to begin searchjng his vehicle, he would declare it was racist. Which seems to be an automatic go too, these days. He probably found as long as his passport was in order, he was able to sail through border crossings without any searches.
As to Billy Blair, as an ex police chief, he would not just suspect, but would know, that anytime you restrict or ban something, the value of that something, as well as an increase of black market commerce of that something is a forgone conclusion. I agree he is a moron, but honestly, it’s obvious he and his low intellect boss, have a hard on for legal gun owners, not criminals. They need criminals to keep the public fearful and in line. They don’t need lawful gun owners, as we are just a potential threat to an over aggressive and out of control government. My thinking is that the Reset agenda was moved up to take advantage of the Covid, and his May first ban, that was probably planned a good while back, then became something enacted a little to late. A lot of the now banned, but prior non restricted firearms are probably going to have midnight funerals, as did several million firearms in the C68 effort.
By the way, I hope you got the $20 bucks I sent you via E transfer, a week or so back!
I sure did, Gerry, but the fact you’re asking tells me my thank-you email never reached you. I’ll resend it in a minute…
Do I think Bill Blair is a virtue-signalling moron? Nope.
Blair is a malevolent, deceitful, soulless, shyte facsimile of a human being. And he’s very much cognizant of what he is doing.
Blair can’t have liberal voters like Ayub arrested and prosecuted. After all they can’t vote liberal from prison. Or can they?
Of course they can, Don. Denying someone the right to vote while denying their other Charter rights because they violated another citizen’s Charter rights just isn’t how a just and civil society treats its convicted criminals.
