South Africa’s Nightmare Gun Registry

Published July 2, 2021 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Control, Gun Registration


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...]

Defiance of Germany’s Strict Gun Laws or Good Old Fashioned Ingenuity?

Published June 28, 2021 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Control, Guns


Defiance of Germany's Strict Gun Laws or Good Old Fashioned Ingenuity?

Germans are renowned for their precision, craftsmanship and ingenuity. For some, like the 58-year-old precision mechanic who manufactured three homemade pistols in his spare time, it may mean obeying Germany's strict gun laws is a waste of time. A German news report says police stumbled upon the weapons by chance during another investigation, although the story does not … [Read more...]

ACT New Zealand Says Firearm Prohibition Order Bill Needs an Overhaul

ACT New Zealand Says Firearm Prohibition Order Bill Needs an Overhaul

ACT New Zealand promotes free markets, free ideas, personal responsibility and personal accountability – all those principles  progressive, virtue-signalling governments oppose - and while they support the concept philosophically, the current bill needs a lot more work before they can support it further. “We fully support the intention of going after the gangs and illegal … [Read more...]

Mexico's Constitutional Right to Bear Arms

Mexico is one of three countries in the world whose constitution guarantees citizens the right to bear arms: United States, Mexico and Guatemala. This constitutional right is rendered all but meaningless by a host of government restrictions on it – the warm wet dreams of anti-2nd Amendment advocates. Like all limitations on civilian firearm ownership, Mexico's restrictions … [Read more...]

Bill Blair – Master of Misinformation and Misdirection

Bill Blair may only be a second-term Liberal MP but make no mistake – Bill Blair is a career politician. The Minister of Misinformation's defence of his ban on so-called “military-style assault weapons” is just the latest ideological step in Blair’s long political career. He became Chief of the Toronto Police Service on April 26, 2005. During his tenure as Toronto’s top … [Read more...]

RCMP and CBSA Contradict Public Safety Minister Bill Blair

Late Friday night the RCMP declared all 12-gauge and 10-gauge shotguns are legal "because we say so." Please read my assessment of Minister Blair's similarly worded legal advice on Facebook and Twitter at the end of this article. My thoughts there apply to the RCMP's latest as well. Friday was not a good day for Public Safety Minister Bill Blair. The Canadian … [Read more...]

Justin Trudeau’s Evidence-Based Policy on Guns?

"And as we face these challenges, the only ideology that must guide us is evidence. Hard, scientific facts and data. It may seem revolutionary in today’s Ottawa, but instead of inventing the facts to justify the policies, we will create policy based on facts. Solutions can come from the left or the right, all that matters is that they work. That they help us live – and thrive – … [Read more...]

Firearm Registration: Formerly Law-Abiding Connecticut Gun Owners Face Increased Pressure

Published March 31, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Control, Gun Politics, Gun Registration, Property Rights


As rumours of door-to-door gun confiscations run wild on the internet, Connecticut gun owners who were law-abiding citizens on December 31, 2013, are now criminals under a new law banning so-called “assault weapons”. State officials continue to ratchet up the rhetoric about these heinous threats to public safety, while gun owners realize once again that Firearm Registration … [Read more...]

Washington, DC, is arguably the stupidest place on the planet.

“Smart Guns” – A Bad Idea Whose Time Should Never Come

I’m reluctant to even write about this because as that old advertising maxim goes, any public mention of a product is a good thing. This gained wider notoriety when moronic Congressman John F. Tierney introduced a bill to Congress after watching the latest James Bond film.  He actually said this is where he got the idea for his bill from... which doesn’t say much for his … [Read more...]

Toronto City Councillor and all-around idiot Adam Vaughn must be just about wetting himself at the thought of being able to send decent Canadians to prison for the heinous “crime” of owning a legal product, namely ammunition.

“Gun Control” kills. Here’s how…

Published April 13, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Big Brother, Gun Control, Self-Defense


The advocates of "gun control" are forever telling us that guns are too dangerous for mere citizens to use.  It's just not safe, they say.  That mentality has always bothered me because what are police officers except mere citizens with a little training? Anyone can become proficient in the skills needed to handle firearms safely.  Training facilities like Front Sight can … [Read more...]

Baltimore, Maryland is in the midst of a mayoral race.  Folks from all walks of life and as evidenced by this news report, all walks of stupidity as well.

Chicago’s Mayor Daly proposes “common sense” gun laws?

Chicago's Mayor Daly proposes "common sense" gun laws.

Yet, as shocking as it might sound, there is one thing about his latest round of … [Read more...]

State of Ohio Supreme Court: Correct Decision in Gun Laws Case

Anti-gun forces in Ohio are whining and whimpering today.  On December 29th the Ohio Supreme Court ruled against gun bans and other stupidity at the local level, such as waiting periods, so-called "assault" rifle bans and registration for handguns.
