New Book Highlights How Government Missed the Target With Bill C-71

Published May 29, 2018 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Politics


After reading Bill C-71, The Firearms Owners Harassment Act, and digging into its details, I teamed up with Nicolas Johnson (TheGunBlog.ca) to write the book on Bill C-71. Our goal: help liberty lovers connect with their MPs, engage in the political process and make our views known. We are grateful to former MP Garry Breitkreuz for writing the Foreword and to the Canadian … [Read more...]

Andrew Scheer’s Keynote Address to CSSA Stick To Your Guns Fundraising Dinner

Published May 3, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Politics


Andrew Scheer was the keynote speaker at the CSSA's annual Stick To Your Guns fundraising dinner held in Saskatoon on April 22, 2017. While he was there to talk politics, specifically his candidacy for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada, his talk focused far more on himself and his admiration for the firearms community's culture of safety. "...the one thing … [Read more...]

CBC Backs Down – Guns in Canada 101 Vanishes From the Internet

Published April 13, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Guns


UPDATE #3: TheGunBlog.ca reports the CBC has now re-issued the video on their "Keeping Canada Safe" portal with two text updates and a disclaimer below the video. Not good enough. Keep up the pressure on the CBC to either pull the video completely or redo the segment with accurate information. UPDATE #2: The CBC pulled it from the other link on the CBC website … [Read more...]

UPDATED: CBC Ombudsman: http://www.ombudsman.cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/contact-us/ TheGunBlog.ca (an excellent website) wants gun owners to file complaints with the CBC Ombudsman Office over all the factual errors in the CBC video "Guns in Canada 101", part of their Keeping Canada Safe series. It's a brilliant idea and one I think we all can get behind.  The CBC is no friend … [Read more...]

Canadian Government will finally repeal gun show regulations

Published September 9, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Guns


It's about time... too.  This is one of the holdovers from the Liberals' failed Firearms Act.  They had hoped to effectively ban Canadian gun shows by regulating them out of existence. Even the Liberals knew they faced an uphill battle with these and deferred them for years before eventually losing power to Stephen Harper's Conservative government, who has also deferred them … [Read more...]

Adam Vaughan: Ontario Gun Owners and Gun Clubs – Know Thine Enemy

Published December 5, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Politically Correct Madness


As many Canadians may not know, in 2008 the Toronto City Council passed a bylaw banning shooting ranges on city property as well as businesses that manufacture firearms from operating within the city limits. Shooting ranges operated by governments are okay under the bylaw. Shooting ranges operated by private individuals or non-profit groups are not. This is, of course, … [Read more...]

John Holdstock, long-time pro-gun guy, dies suddenly

Published December 30, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Life


I got an email yesterday from the BC Wildlife Federation that shocked me, because I'd just emailed back and forth with John a few times just before Christmas.  So getting the notice that he had passed away on Christmas Day from a heart attack was quite the shock.

Ontario’s Attorney General’s Office Angry about public scrutiny in home seizure case

Published November 7, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Property Rights


Crown Counsel James McKeachie is very annoyed with the Montague family for making public the letter he wrote to them where he spelled out his intention to take their family home using Ontario's Civil Remedies Act.

And what happens to all the money and property seized? Well, of the $13.4 million seized in Ontario since 2003, only $1.2 million has been turned over as compensation to "victims of unlawful activity", whatever that phrase means. Almost half of it, $5.7 million has been handed back to law enforcement agencies in the form of grants. Five times as much money is given … [Read more...]

Donna Montague was not impressed. "At every stage of this process, whenever we've 'negotiated' with them, we've been railroaded," she said. "The search warrants were illegal.  They said that for our Constitutional challenge to go forward we had to drop our challenge of them.  After they arrested Bruce, did the first search and were holding Bruce in jail, they threatened … [Read more...]

McKeachie, and through him the Attorney General's office as a whole, was being forced to answer for his actions to the public.  He doesn't like that at all.  Why should the Ontario Attorney General's office or McKeachie personally be upset about public scrutiny of this case? Openness and transparency should be the hallmark of government. After all, the Attorney General … [Read more...]

It’s about People Control, not Gun Control…

Published September 1, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Political Antics


I can't say it any better than Garry Breitkreuz already did, so here's his editorial... The registry isn't about reducing crime. It's about public control. The media war over the hotly contested long-gun registry is in full swing, and it isn’t pretty. The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) is lobbying hard to keep our tax dollars flowing into the black hole … [Read more...]
