Robin Dean Wuttunee’s criminal history is long and violent, so violent that he was deemed a dangerous offender by the courts, according to the RCMP. While many details are banned from publication by judicial orders, his repeated violation of Firearms Prohibition Orders prove, yet again, just how useless our current system is.

Alain Gamache: Poster-Criminal for Everything Wrong with Canada’s Firearm Prohibition Order System
Alain Gamache of Timmins, Ontario, is one in a long line of "poster-criminal" who highlight everything that's wrong with Canada’s broken Firearm Prohibition Order System.

PAL/RPAL Holders: Do NOT Install PocketWell App
"I'm from the government and I'm here to help" is an oxymoron of the highest order. When any government claims they're here to help you, check your pockets to make sure your wallet is still there.

As Violent Repeat Offenders Ply Their Wicked Trade, Liberal Govt Focuses on Licensed Gun Owners
We live in an increasingly bizarre world where wrong is deemed right, and law-abiding citizens are treated like criminals.

These are the stories that break my heart. A 3-year-old boy is dead and, as brutal as it is for me to write it and you to read it, this child is dead because of his parents’ negligence.

Pennsylvania State Rep Demands ID Requirement to Buy Ammunition
Democrat State Representative Brian Kirkland wants to force gun owners to show state- or federally-issued identification before they can buy ammunition. The goal, says Rep.

South Africa’s Nightmare Gun Registry
Canada's failed Long Gun Registry was an expensive and useless exercise that did not help solve a single crime according to police, but at least 'the trains ran on time' - to butcher the analogy. The same cannot be said for South Africa’s Central Firearms Registry, where backlogs for both licenses and amnesties are piled six feet high throughout a building that's been … [Read more...]

CanPar Cancels Firearm and Ammo Shipments
It's almost laughable watching the hair-on-fire across the Canadian Internet over CanPar's decision, effective immediately, to stop carrying firearms and ammunition. Here's what I know so far: 1.
