Free Speech – Does It Mean What You Think?

Published February 28, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech, Rights


Free Speech - What Does It Really Mean?

What does “Free Speech” mean? Not what a lot of people think it does, unfortunately. This column is sparked by a comment published on ChristopherDiArmani.com earlier this month and the US Court of Appeals decision, Prager University vs. YouTube, delivered on February 26, 2020. “Hey. I dont agree with your post but i will defend your right to post it. I would expect you … [Read more...]

Antonio Sampogna: Licenced Gun Owner's Choices Baffle Lawyers and Judges Alike

What makes a licenced gun owner, avid target shooter and hunter, decide selling guns to criminals is a good idea? That’s the unanswered question remaining after Antonio Sampogna was, on February 14, 2020, sentenced to five years in prison for a series of gun crimes. Sampogna was once a law-abiding man who, for reasons nobody understands, he chose to sell a gun and … [Read more...]

Police Misconduct: Abbotsford Constable Christopher Nicholson

Violating the public’s trust is nasty business. Violating the trust of your fellow police officers is an even more heinous offence because, as in the case of Abbotsford Police Constable Christopher Nicholson, it puts their lives at risk. On May 6th, 2013, Constable Christopher Nicholson’s criminal actions caught up with him. Nicholson was arrested and charged with ten counts … [Read more...]

Tyson Mallett: Judge Delivers Second Chance on Gun Charges

UPDATE 2020-02-26 11am: New information about retaining possession of gun added to end of column. After police caught Tyson Mallett with an illegal rifle and no firearm licence, he escaped jail time entirely and must only pay a $500 fine. Tyson Mallett is one lucky man.

RCMP and Fredericton Police: Accidental or Negligent Discharge of a Firearm?

Published February 21, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Negligent Discharges, Police


Accidental or Negligent Discharge of a Firearm?

When accurately describing unintended firearm discharges, accidental covers the smallest number of incidents. An equipment failure causing a firearm to discharge is accidental. A poorly designed or poorly constructed firearm that fires when bumped (somewhere other than the trigger) is also accidental. If your finger, body part or part of your gear touch the trigger and … [Read more...]

Rachel Small RCMP Due Diligence or Invasion of Privacy?

Did you know the RCMP has a Tactical Internet Intelligence Unit? Or that this unit may scour social media looking for information about you? Neither did Rachel Small, a political activist from Toronto, until a Canadian Press reporter gave her a copy of the RCMP's 6-page report on her. "I found it kind of creepy and unsettling because of the way that they were compiling … [Read more...]

In Praise of Canadian Athletes in the Shooting Sports

Many of Canada's most dedicated athletes are in the shooting sports. Here are a few of Canada's shooting sports ambassadors and their recent accomplishments, most of which go unnoticed outside of small, regional newspapers.   Christina Matchett Cadet Warrant Officer Christina Matchett "blew away the competition" at the South Island Zone Biathlon competition, held … [Read more...]

Buck Evans: Repeat Offender Violating His Firearm Prohibition Order

Buck Evans Firearm Prohibition Order Edmonton Police

Why does the government refuse to change the law to allow police to track violent repeat offenders with Firearm Prohibition Orders? If they had, perhaps Buck Evans would still be alive today. On December 26, 2018, 34-year-old Buck Evans was shot dead by Edmonton police during what was called a high-risk arrest of an armed and dangerous suspect whose criminal record dates … [Read more...]

Red Flag Law? Track lifetime 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...]

Child Terrorizes Kansas School With Finger Gun

Child Terrorizes Kansas School With Finger Gun

Zero-tolerance rules sound great on paper but they quickly devolve into mindless bureaucratic stupidity. The case of one 12-year-old girl attending Westridge Middle School in Overland Park, Kansas, epitomizes this insanity. On September 18, 2019, she held her hand in the shape of a gun, pointing it at four other students while saying bang, then repeating the same gesture to … [Read more...]

Possession and Acquisition Licence Approved

Many Canadians believe anyone can walk into their local gun store, toss a wad of cash on the counter and walk out with a gun. Worse, this lie is often promoted by reporters and elected officials alike. It's critical for Canadians to understand all of the legal hurdles an individual must clear before they are granted a firearm Possession and Acquisition Licence by the RCMP … [Read more...]

Firearm Licence Revocation Lies from Justin Trudeau

On February 5, 2020, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stood in the House of Commons and lied to Canadians. Mr. Speaker, the police currently have the ability to remove firearms from someone who presents a threat to themselves or others, but they cannot suspend the licence and prevent that person from acquiring new firearms. That is what the red-flag law is all about. At the very … [Read more...]

More Thoughts on R. v. Iniguez and Our Charter Rights

The R. v. Iniguez decision interests me for a whole host of reasons, not the least of which are the ramifications it could mean for 200,000+ licensed firearm owners whose guns our government wants to confiscate and destroy. I’ll get to that shortly. First, let’s dive into the more fascinating aspects of this decision. Note: If you haven't done so already, I encourage … [Read more...]

Margo Gaines, a 6-year-old with Downs Syndrome

We’re still stuck in a paradigm tyrannized by what I call “Bureaucrat’s Rule Number One.” The Rules Are More Important Than People They have it backwards... completely backwards. People are far more important than the best rules or policy statements. Is there a line where common sense finally kicks in? I hope so, but we haven’t found it yet. Today’s case in … [Read more...]

Warrantless Search Sets Illegal Sub-Machine Gun Owner Free

Elvis Iniguez is a free man today because the Toronto Police Services violated his Charter rights. They searched his home without a warrant and without his informed consent.

The Canadian Government’s Scheme to Censor the Internet

Published February 4, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech, Politics


1984 is now a Canadian political how-to manual

Freedom of Speech is a fundamental right of all human beings. If this Liberal government wants me to give up right to free speech and beg for their permission to speak they'd best come with a bevy of armed Thought Police thugs because the only way they will shut me up is if they kill me. George Orwell's classic 1984 is not an instruction manual. It's a dire warning about … [Read more...]
