Yes, the title is sarcastic. The handgun registry is every bit as useless as the long gun registry, something this teen armed robber proves for me. This is the second time Canada has dropped long gun registration. Most people choose to forget that we tried this stupidity once before and finally dropped it when law-abiding Canadians refused to register their rifles and … [Read more...]
Unless you have a Government Permission Slip to break the law (a licence) you’re going to jail
What is a licence? It is nothing more than a Government Permission Slip (GPS) to break the law. Just because you may choose not to believe me doesn’t make it any less true. It is a crime to do a myriad of things in Canada today; things that should not be a crime, yet are. Politicians mistakenly believe they must always be doing something when the very best thing they could … [Read more...]
Zero Tolerance = Zero Common Sense = Zero Justice
The case of Jessie Sansone and his ordeal at the hands of the Almighty State should sound the alarm bells deep inside every Canadian's brain. Three government agencies, all now abdicating responsibility for the fiasco, combined for a perfect storm of abuse upon Jessie Sansone, all because his 4-year-old daughter drew a picture of her dad holding a gun. NEWS FLASH! … [Read more...]
Bill C-30’s invasions of privacy and warrantless searches are outrageous, but all the other Acts are just fine?
Bruce Cockburn wrote a famous song that contained the line “The trouble with normal is it only gets worse.” The same can be said for governments. They always get worse, too. The current so-called Conservative government is a perfect example of this, and Vic Toews unwittingly tried using this to his advantage. He quickly discovered, much to his dismay, that Canadians … [Read more...]
A loaded pistol was found in his car, yet he’s not arrested, charged or sent off to prison
Can you imagine if you or I left a loaded handgun under the front seat of our vehicle and someone else found it? Here's roughly what would transpire next: 1. SWAT would be called in to serve a "high risk warrant", kick in our front door, arrest us, seize anything and everything even remotely related to firearms, and parade us and our personal property before the media to … [Read more...]
Gun Owners Continue to Face Criminal Charges for a Law That Doesn’t Exist
I am flipping tired of the unmitigated hubris that continues to spur Canada’s game-playing cops and court system in their indefatigable zeal to prosecute innocent gun owners with the same pesky, recycled sections of the Canadian Firearms Act. In order to demonize gun owners to the hilt, the Government of Canada saw its way clear, at the behest of the United Nations, to dump … [Read more...]
Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant understands why gun owners hate the Firearms Act. Pity the Minister of Public Safety, Vic Toews, isn’t listening to her
On Tuesday, February 7, 2012, Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant rose in the House of Commons and made the following speech. In it she highlights why everyday law-abiding Canadian gun owners despise Canada’s Firearms Act, and why, to quote her, “The creation by the Liberals of a new criminal class, rural firearm owners, was the ultimate triumph of the negative political politics” … [Read more...]
Canada’s useless “Gun Control” system fails again, almost gets cop killed
The many failures of Canada’s “gun control” scheme are well known to anyone willing to actually look at the facts. For those unwilling to do so, however, no amount of proof that the system doesn’t work will ever be enough. The latest proof of the uselessness and dangerousness of the current gun control scheme comes from Kamloops, British Columbia, where a convicted drug … [Read more...]
NDP’s François Pilon the latest nutbar to buy into Gun Registry Lies and Deceit
It’s really not surprising to find more NDP hacks coming out of the woodwork crowing how the country will collapse into anarchy of the error-riddled gun registry is killed, as Conservatives plan. Clearly looking for some easy and free publicity, Pilon used the Laval Police Department chief as his crutch to stand before the usual media circus to claim “the sky is … [Read more...]
Sun TV’s Brian Lilley comprehends the issue, why can’t Public Safety Minister Vic Toews?
As most in the know in gun circles has been aware of for some time, the RCMP is demanding that owners of a specific .22 calibre rifle, the Armi Jager AP-80, turn in their rifles for destruction without compensation. This rifle that merely looks like, as Brian Lilley said on his Sun TV show Byline, "the dreaded AK-47", but has no parts in common with it and cannot be converted … [Read more...]
Maurice Corriveau: Gun Owner Licensing and Firearm Registration System a proven failure. Again.
A case coming out of Noelville, Ontario, is once again proving the utter uselessness of Canada’s entire “gun control” system. On March 18, 2011 Maurice Corriveau was arrested and charged with three counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm after police searched his home. By his own admittance he had tried to apply for a firearms license but when his application was … [Read more...]
We won’t track violent career criminals like Joseph Endelle Chan, but we’ll harass law-abiding Canadian gun owners?
The law is an ass is the famous statement, although I can't remember who by at the moment. This truly is the case when it comes to Canada's laws on firearms and the stupid 2-billion dollar "gun control" scheme that can't keep guns out of the hands of the likes of Joseph Endelle Chan. Joseph Chan has a very long criminal record that includes 25 previous criminal … [Read more...]
Candice Hoeppner calls the head of Police Chief’s union a liar
It's a beautiful sight to behold and caught on video for all time... the mouthpiece for the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP), Mario Harel, blathered on about how there were now over 17,000 queries to the gun registry today. He then admits, for the very first time that I am aware of, that most of these are what he calls "auto-queries." Those of us on "this" … [Read more...]
Heidi Rathjen: gov’t “will have blood on their hands”
When all else fails, Heidi Rathjen and her fellow anti-gun zealots always resort to one final cry: You will have blood on your hands!!! It’s as predictable as rain in Vancouver, drought in the desert and snow in Alps in winter. It’s the final cry of those who have failed to ram their agenda down our throats by claiming that anyone who owns a firearm is just a … [Read more...]
Anti-Gunners: Sometimes it is better to keep silent and let the world think you’re a fool…
There is a wise old saying based on Proverbs 17:28 that goes like this: Sometimes it’s better to remain silent and let the world think you’re a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. John W. Warnock is precisely such a man who should have remained silent and let the world think he is a fool… On November 29, 2011, John Warnock had a letter published in the … [Read more...]
Quebec wants a provincial gun registry but doesn’t want to pay for it
Quebec is leading the charge to have a provincial gun registry, but in typical fashion, doesn't want to pay for it. "Quebec should lead the way on provincial registries," Universite de Montreal law professor Stephane Beaulac said. But a Quebec registry is unlikely unless Ottawa lets the province have the data, he said. "It's too cost-prohibitive to start from … [Read more...]
The Big Lie and Canada’s Doomed Long Gun Registry
With all the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth over the impending demise of Canada's failed (and useless and error-ridden) long gun registry, there is a "Big Lie" being spouted off by Windy Wendy Cukier and lying bureaucrats like Belleville Ontario Police Chief Cory McMullan. I say lying because if anyone should know the truth about Canada's "gun control" system it … [Read more...]
Windy Wendy Cukier on Bill C-19: “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!”
As routine as the cuckoo clock bird that chirps with each passing hour, Wendy Cukier can be counted on to toss out a gazillion reasons why the failed and useless "long gun registry" must be maintained... no matter the cost. Statistics on how often police "use" the system... the numbers sound unbelievable ... but that's only because they are... unbelievable, that is. The … [Read more...]
Fred Rodolf vs The Firearms Act, or “when good people are victimized by bad law”
This is what happens when Bad Laws victimize Good People. Back on May 16, 2011 I wrote about the case of 72-year-old Port Angeles resident Fred Rodolf, who made the mistake of passing through Canadian waters on his way to Alaska. He runs a small charter business there each year. That article was titled "Thank God we’re safe from dangerous 72-year-olds!" and outlined … [Read more...]
Victoria Police Department Constable Mike Russell needs to learn the law
A recent news report in the Victoria Times Colonist showed just how incompetent Constable Mike Russell, and indeed the entire Victoria Police Department is. Instead of commending a man for removing firearms from his home during a dispute with his roommate, the police arrested him, seized his firearms and threatened to charge him with firearm offenses. The problem with … [Read more...]
Another law-abiding Canadian firearm owner brutalized by police
Peter Sedge is your average Canadian. He pays his taxes, he owns his own small business that employs other Canadians. And he owns firearms. Legally. That last word is very important. The Toronto Police Services doesn't like law-abiding firearm owners. Let me rephrase that. The Toronto Police Services [allegedly] doesn't like law-abiding firearm owners. I must say … [Read more...]
Canada’s Firearms Act can’t stop violent offenders from getting guns…
Canada's Firearms Act can't stop violent offenders from getting guns... Canada's Failed Firearms Act, which has required handguns to be registered in Canada since 1934, can't stop 12-year-old kids from getting their hands on them either. The law that will "keep us safe" is, at best, an abject failure on all levels. For example, this week in Toronto a 12-year-old boy was … [Read more...]
An Open Letter to the OFAH, the CSSA, the NFA, and…
and All Canadian Wildlife and Sporting Organizations by Al Muir On 15 May 1995 Parliament’s Standing Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs held a hearing on the Liberals’ Bill C-68. Speaking for the National Coalition of Provincial and Territorial Wildlife Federations in vehement opposition to this unjust law, Mr. Rick Morgan of the Ontario Federation of Anglers … [Read more...]
A Responsible Gun Owners’ View of the CPC Convention Ottawa
by Edward B. Hudson DVM, MS As a delegate to the Conservative Party of Canada Convention in Ottawa last week I had an extremely enjoyable time listening to excellent speeches from Jason Kenny, John Baird, Stockwell Day, meeting and speaking briefly with many Members of Parliament and Senators, and attending a presentation by Preston Manning. Regrettably, the absolute … [Read more...]
Bringing the “administration of justice into disrepute”
I wandered around the Coalition for Gun Control's website this morning, just to see what they were up to. A headline caught my attention, because it's a flat-out lie. April 2011- The gun registry never killed anyone. Ending it may. Stand up for safety. How can this headline possibly be a lie? Do I have a crystal ball or something that let's me see into the future? Nope. … [Read more...]
RCMP Sergeant Douglas Smith appeals conditional discharge for illegal handgun
Welcome to the world of the double-standard when sentencing police for committing crimes that would send the rest of us mere citizens to prison. RCMP Sergeant Douglas Smith kept a handgun that was turned over to him for destruction by a citizen in 2004. By all accounts it was not registered to Sgt. Smith, and nobody knew he even had the unregistered handgun. Why he kept … [Read more...]
“RAV” writes that I’m talking down RCMP Constable Matt Wright without good cause
A reader wrote me last night expressing grave concern over my article about RCMP Constable Matt Wright, wondering how I can possibly sleep at night. First, here is the full comment that "Rav" emailed to me, followed by my response: From: rav <rav@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Regarding your article regarding RCMP officer Matt Wright I would like to know where you got the … [Read more...]
BC Wildlife Assn writes PM Harper about Firearms Act promises
Kudos to the BC Wildlife Federation for writing a great letter to the Prime Minister reminding him of his promises to freedom-loving Canadians everywhere. I'm trying to get a copy of the actual letter from the BCWF, so at the moment all I have to go on is what was contained in their press release. I'll add a link to this article when they send that letter to me. One of the … [Read more...]
Valley Rifle Club writes an Open Letter to Prime Minister Harper
Don Klein is a friend of mine who is very active in Alberta, both on the firearms issue, and on the broader issue of our God-given rights and freedoms. He has written a letter to Prime Minister Harper asking him to keep his many past promises on the Firearms Act, and specifically the amendments it made to the Criminal Code of Canada, sections 91 and 92, which make the mere … [Read more...]
Murray Crawford — “Hey you ignorant Eastern Elite”
Murray Crawford -- "Hey you ignorant Eastern Elite"... Don't blame me for the rude comment... it's how Murray requested he be addressed at the end of the latest piece of drivel he's attempting to pass off as intelligent commentary. Murray Crawford's ignorance is truly astronomical, I've got to say. "We need the long-gun registry. In fact we should stop calling it the … [Read more...]
