On November 30th, 2020, Judge Allan A. Fradsham dismissed the Attorney General's attempt to have nine Section 74 reference hearings tossed out of court. On November 30th, 2020, Judge Allan A. Fradsham became Canadian firearm owners' best friend, for not only did he dismiss the Attorney General's motions, he did so in a way that appears bulletproof to appeal. The Short … [Read more...]

Did Trudeau’s Virtue-Signalling Just Ban Your 12-Gauge Shotgun?
If a legal opinion on the Liberal government’s 20mm maximum bore diameter is interpreted the same way as the RCMP’s Canadian Firearms Lab has ruled in every other case involving removable chokes, the answer is unequivocally yes. Yet on May 1, 2020, Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair promised Canada’s hunting community he would not take away our guns. “I want to assure … [Read more...]
My American Friends: Beware of Canadian Gun Laws

Red Flag Law? Let’s Track Violent Offenders with Firearm Prohibition Orders
[Updated 2020-02-18] Added info documenting Basil Borutski's history of domestic violence dating back to 1985. Canada doesn’t need a new “red flag law.” If Minister Bill Blair truly wants to improve public safety, he must rewrite legislation surrounding Firearm Prohibition Orders so violent offenders are tracked and routinely checked for compliance. If he … [Read more...]

Is Trudeau Government Really Blinking on UN Firearms Marking Regulations?
Is Trudeau Really Blinking on UN Firearms Marking Regulations? It would appear he is. Social media lit up this morning over a report from Regina Gun Safety & Licensing that said the Firearms Marking Regulations would be deferred until December 31, 2018. UPDATE: Conservative Public Safety Critic, Hon. Tony Clement, and Conservative Deputy Public Safety Critic, Larry … [Read more...]
CSSA Commentary: Good Guns, Bad Guns and the Evil Black AR-15
For roughly 36 hours following the tragic Orlando murders, the mainstream media screamed: “We must ban the AR-15!” The media banshees wailed and screeched repeatedly until finally they could no longer hide from the facts. The FBI had identified the weapon used to kill 49 people at the Florida nightclub, and it was NOT the AR-15 they so desperately wanted banned. But most … [Read more...]
AR-15 Incorrectly Classified in Canada says CSSA Tony Bernardo
Recently MP Bob Zimmer put forward a petition to reclassify the AR-15 from its current "restricted" classification to "non-restricted". In the wake of the mainstream media frenzy over the AR-15 in the aftermath of the Orlando shooting MP Bob Zimmer is taking a lot of heat for his position on this particular firearm. The media's hate-on for the AR-15 and their insistence … [Read more...]

He currently resides in Thunder Bay and a couple of years ago he found himself, once again, in legal hot water over guns. In pleading guilty in Ontario Superior Court to charges of unauthorized possession of a firearm … [Read more...]
Gamil Gharbi Day – Because blaming the millions of men who didn’t kill anyone is always in fashion!
This is part of my ongoing series on Canadian Mass Murders. It comes as no surprise to me, nor should it come as one to you, that December 6th is dedicated to hating men when the official Montreal Massacre narrative says all men are responsible for Gamil Gharbi's actions. Garbage. This flies in the face of the facts spelled out by Montreal coroner Teresa Sourour in … [Read more...]
Prince Edward Island Chief Firearms Officer Vivian Hayward is a Liar
Prince Edward Island Chief Firearms Officer Vivian Hayward, (center with her finger on the trigger) is nothing if not a fear-mongering liar. That’s right. Vivian Hayward is a liar. Unhappy with Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney’s announcement that provincial Chief Firearms Officers are about to have their wings severely clipped, Vivian Hayward decided the best defence … [Read more...]
Phil Hewkin’s Cartoon Says It All…
Phil Hewkin is an artist and a gun owner. He believes, as I do, that owning private property should not land you in prison, nor should it cost you your life savings or your family home. All three of those things happened to Ontario gunsmith Bruce Montague. Well, to be precise, the last of the three, the theft of the Montague family home using Ontario's Proceeds of Crime Act, … [Read more...]
Donna Montague Speaks Out on Criminal Case Against Her Husband
My name is Donna Montague. I am married to former Ontario gunsmith Bruce Montague. I have had Enough! I am thoroughly disgusted!

Take a Wrong Turn – Go Directly to Jail
Right now Mexico is at the center of a huge controversy over their arrest and imprisonment of U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi for taking a wrong turn that led him to a border crossing. The trouble with border crossings is that once you’re on the path you cannot turn around. The issue at hand is the detention in Mexico of U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, 25, who has … [Read more...]
Moncton RCMP Shooting: Is the NFA’s wading into the fray the right thing to do?

Government buildings and schools closed for the manhunt reopened. Residents, prevented from returning to their homes due to … [Read more...]
Bruce Montague’s Response to Forfeiture Order
By now you must all be aware of the ruling we received from the appeal court of Ontario a couple of days ago. I am not really surprised that we lost but I am surprised that they decided to increase my punishment by also stealing my ammunition. As bad as this ruling is, our lawyers at the CCF (Canadian Constitution Foundation) found some encouraging aspects to it. There are a … [Read more...]
Gunsmith Bruce Montague, Dr. Henry Morgentaler and Abortion Law
That may seem an odd title but it will make sense shortly. The Ontario Court of Appeal released its decision in R. v. Montague, 2014 ONCA 439, in which the government's desire to seize Bruce Montague's complete firearms and ammunition collection came to its unjust conclusion. Ontario's Court of Appeal heard arguments for and against the forfeiture of over $100,000 of … [Read more...]
Knives Kill More People Annually Than Firearms. Go Figure…
In what mainstream media harpies call a mass stabbing in Calgary last week they unwittingly revealed an interesting fact: knives kill or injure more people annually than any other weapon. Yes, including those much-despised firearms folks like me, and perhaps you, own. Legally and safely, I might add. Statistics Canada reports knives are used in one third of all … [Read more...]

Andrew Winchester: The Epitome of Stupid People with Guns
Andrew Winchester is a stupid person. I call Andrew Winchester a stupid person because only an idiot would believe handing over 47 handguns, all legally purchased and registered to him, to an unlicensed individual wouldn't have severe consequences. You would think being paid $900 per purchase over and above the cost of the guns and ammunition just might be a clue something … [Read more...]
Stupid Toronto Star Reporters Shouldn’t Write About Canadian Firearms Law
You can't stop people from being stupid. You can, as a reporter writing about stupid people, base your story at least in the same universe as reality, if not on the same planet. Jacques Gallant, a staff reporter for Toronto's The Star newspaper, clearly doesn't have a clue what he's writing about in his article "Handguns Easily Resold to Potential Criminals" when he … [Read more...]
Former NFA President Jim Hinter Surfaces At Last… with more criminal charges
It took almost 10 years, but now there is an explanation for former National Firearms Association President Jim Hinter's disappearance from the world. Turns out Jim Hinter didn't disappear at all; he simply decided using his first and last name might cause him problems, given the allegedly criminal nature of his demise from the NFA. Hinter is currently listed as the … [Read more...]
Is Nanaimo RCMP Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong a complete idiot?
Is Nanaimo RCMP Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong a complete idiot or just thoroughly ignorant of the laws she supposedly enforces? I honestly don’t know what else you can say about a so-called "police officer" who has absolutely no idea of what she speaks. I also can’t fathom how moronic [alleged] reporter Darrell Bellaart must be that he refused to do the most basic fact-checking … [Read more...]

by Tim McNamara On 20 June 2013 the town of High River, Alberta, was inundated by one of the worst floods in a hundred years - homes were destroyed, bridges washed out, and the town was completely evacuated. Unfortunately for High River, the weather was not the only enemy the residents had to face. As the floodwaters began to recede, members of the RCMP, the … [Read more...]
December 6th – A Day Dedicated to Hating Men & blaming them for the acts of one Muslim lunatic
I can’t speak for you, but I’m getting tired of the annual festival of hatred against men sparked by the heinous and misogynist killing spree committed by Gamil Gharbi. Most people don’t know that name because the mainstream media refuses to use the name of the murderer up until two years before his killing spree at l’Ecolle Polytechnique. They prefer to use his “Canadian” … [Read more...]
