Some days are just fun and today at the Canadian Shooting Sports Association's 2016 AGM in Ottawa is no exception. In addition to a well attended AGM in the morning, the presentation by Faith Goldy and Brian Lilley of TheRebel.media was fantastic. Having two of the shooting sports best friends presenting a panel on media relations to the CSSA was a real treat, not to … [Read more...]
Catholic Pope Francis – a World-Class Hypocrite on Guns
The great and hypocritical Catholic Pope Francis just declared that me and millions of other gun-owning folks are not Christians. Wow. That's quite a hypocritical declaration for the Pope to make for a couple of reasons. First, the Catholic Pope travels the world with an armed security escort. Not armed with bibles, but with guns. You know... actual manufactured metal … [Read more...]
Remind them of this the next time a Liberal Hack tells you to store your guns in a Central Repository
How often do we hear some Liberal hack telling us that we must store our guns in a "central repository"? The latest is Liberal Senator Céline Hervieux-Payette who, through her retarded Senate Bill S-231 (now re-tabled in the Senate as Bill S-223) demands that any guns left in the hands of mere citizens must be stored in a central repository. On the heels of that asinine … [Read more...]

Former NFA President James Murray Hinter dodges the bullet again
James Murray, as he calls himself today, is the former President of Canada's National Firearms Association (NFA) when he called himself James Murray Hinter. 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...]
The Whitehorse Gun Show – What an Event!
There's nothing quite like a gun show to get you over feeling badly about the fact your friend died and that's precisely what awaited me Saturday morning here in Whitehorse! Paul Rogan, publisher of Canada's one and only firearms buy and sell newspaper "Canadian Access to Firearms", puts on the annual spring gun show here in Whitehorse and it's a very well-attended … [Read more...]
In Memoriam: Jane Gaffin
I actually thought Jane Gaffin, who passed away at 73 years of age on July 15, 2015, at 5:30 in the afternoon, was too ornery to just up and die on us. Anyone who ever knew Jane knows exactly what I’m talking about. Turns out I was quite wrong. She was every bit as mortal as the rest of us. It’s just that she was one of those rare larger-than-life personalities who would, … [Read more...]
BATF Backpedals from M855 Ammunition Ban (.233 Calibre)
M855 ammunition is .223 calibre “green tip” ammunition most often used with AR-15 rifles. It is also used in some AR-15-style handguns: expensive and large handguns. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms issued a proposal to ban this specific type of ammunition on February 13, 2015, claiming AR-15-type handguns are a “significant threat” to law enforcement … [Read more...]
TheRebel.Media: Putting Our Money Where Our Conservative Mouths Are
With the fall of Sun News Network Canadian conservatives lost the one friend they had on television. The only Canadian voice of liberty was lost… silenced because we Canadian conservatives failed when it counted most. There is nothing we can do about that failure. Nothing we do today will bring back the Sun News Network. It’s done. It is gone forever. There is, however, … [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...]
Why do American Doctors want to know if Patients own Firearms?
Why do American family physicians want to know if their patients own Firearms before treating them for [insert medical issue here]? The only doctor who will ask you about gun ownership before treating you is a doctor who hates guns. Any doctor who hunts or target shoots or believes in your Right to Self-Defense isn’t going to ask the question. He won’t care. It’s only … [Read more...]
The Only Entitlement I Expect From My Government is FREEDOM
You’ve always WANTED to shoot your alarm clock, right?
Don’t deny it. You’ve always WANTED to shoot your alarm clock, right? Well, now you can with this unique offering on Groupon. I was tipped to the shootable alarm clock by a co-worker who knew I want to shoot mine every morning. I like that it is both the clock and gun are battery-powered. I don't know why but I've always preferred battery-powered alarm clocks to … [Read more...]
Anti-Fur Activists Rejoiced Until Public Safety Minister Reversed RCMP Muskrat Hat Decision
The news that the RCMP would abandon muskrat hats due to pressure from anti-fur activists was a little strange. “We have listened to the views of external interested parties and of our employees,” wrote RCMP Corps Sergeant-Major Darren Campbell. “RCMP officers stationed in areas that are not considered extreme will be issued the winter tuque only. Those that will require … [Read more...]
BC Attorney General Suzanne Anton too Cowardly to Answer for Topham Prosecution
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Bureaucrats are, generally speaking, a cowardly bunch, but the response given to Joseph Hickey, Executive Director of the Ontario Civil Liberties Association (OCLA) about Arthur Topham’s Freedom of Speech case is truly pathetic even by that low standard. Joseph Hickey's letter was written directly to the Honourable Suzanne Anton, … [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...]
Humane Society of the United States attempting to ban “traditional ammunition”
The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) and other anti-hunting groups filed a petition with the Interior Department demanding that hunting on public lands with "traditional ammunition" be banned. That would strip over 1/5 of the total land area of the United States from hunters. "We have intentionally chosen to concentrate first on banning the use of all lead … [Read more...]
Kansas State Rep. Jim Howell Stands With Gun Owners. Almost.
The mainstream media continues to make a mountain out of a molehill in Kansas, where a new law will take effect July 1 allowing concealed carry permit holders to carry their firearms inside the Kansas Statehouse. The usual suspects whine incessantly about the dangers of allowing mere citizens to carry firearms but Rep. Jim Howell made it very clear where he stands, and it's … [Read more...]
Negligent Discharge: Miami-Dade Police Officer’s Failure to Follow Safe Gun Handling Rules
I'm sure it's every cop's worst nightmare. Handling a firearm and it "just goes off". Except that's not what happens. A firearm doesn't "just go off". Someone puts their finger on the trigger and pulls it. Then the gun "just goes off" precisely as it is designed to do. When this happens unexpectedly it is called a negligent discharge. Someone was negligent in their attention … [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! It is bad enough that the news media reports inflammatory positions about Bruce without verifying their data ….. but the “JUDICIARY” is doing it too. Now that the trial is over I can speak. The search of our home: First off, there … [Read more...]
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...]
Hunter Safety Training Abandoned in BC
"Hunter Safety Training Abandoned in BC" That's a more appropriate title for the misinformation piece printed in The Province newspaper titled "Seasoned hunter aghast at B.C. government's move to delay safety training for beginners". If all you read was The Province's so-called "news report" you would conclude BC dropped all hunter safety training requirements and now … [Read more...]
Moncton RCMP Shooting: Is the NFA’s wading into the fray the right thing to do?
As most already know, this past Wednesday evening saw 3 RCMP members shot dead, with more wounded. The entire city of Moncton, put on lockdown until police finally captured their intended target late Thursday, finally resumed more normal operation. 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...]
Why the Flood of Firearm Registration Certificates in My Mailbox?
This past week I my mailbox overflowed with firearm registration certificates for restricted firearms. I found this, to say the least, puzzling, as I've had no contact with the Canadian Firearms Centre for ages, nor had I purchased any firearms recently. After checking the registration certificates against my own restricted firearms I discovered these were not for new guns … [Read more...]
MediaMatters.org Attacks and Mocks Gun Owning Women
In a disparaging article titled "Meet the Glocker Moms", MediaMatters.org writer Alexander Zaitchik takes aim at the NRA and its female members. The National Rifle Association held their annual general meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana, and this brought on the attack against both the NRA and its female gun owners. Why attack women gun owners? According to the NRA, says the … [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...]
Facebook Photo Equals Child Abuse? When a Firearm is Visible… Absolutely!
Imagine the scenario. You post an innocent photo of your son holding a rifle on Facebook. Your son is 11 years old. He is well trained in firearm safety by you. His finger is off the trigger in the photo, just as it should be. Some pathetic crybaby sees the Facebook photo and calls the New Jersey Department of Children and Families who, in turn, contact the … [Read more...]
