[Mavis] Moore, who grew up in Crown Butte, Sask., says she is incensed at Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s characterization of the [gun registry] debate.
Has anyone heard of this place? Just asking. (Her firearms safety skills are …. exemplary.)
Update – here’s something the Star article neglected to mention about rootin’ tootin’ shootin’ rural Mavis – she’s currently a vice-president of the National Council Of Women.
Shame on Ms Moore! She didn’t once mention the danger faced by women and children because of criminals with knives! How disrespectful! She didn’t once mention the need for knife registry!
As for her emotions, she can go right ahead and be incensed. See if I care. She can be darn sure that criminals won’t register their guns. (or their knives) She can also rest assured that I won’t register my own guns, and I *guarantee* her that I will never be involved in criminal activity.
C’mon Kate; why are you even linking to the commie Chinese Star?
I was an OTR trucker for almost 40 years and I must have been to or through almost every community in the west at one time or another. I do not remember the name at all. Being as this is from Toronto`s Red Star I would not be surprised if there is a bit of creative writing in this article. Also it goes without saying I do not agree with a single word of that tripe.
A Google search for Crown Butte, Saskatchewan brings this post up first. It does not register on Google Satellite.
Crown Butte, Saskatchewan is unknown to Google Maps, at least as far as I can tell (though there are several different named points of interest in North Dakota, all near Bismarck). I assume it shares the same geo database with Google Earth, which also cannot locate it.

You can tell a lot of research has gone into this article. Even imaginary towns with anecdotal hillbilly gun pointers.
Can we all say BOGUS.
From the Fallen Star that would be a crowned with Inviolability of thought.
I call BS on em all!!!!
JMO
Well Google and Bing maps don’t have a clue about the place.
But they can find Ecum Secum NS……..
Making it up as they go ….. same old same old.

Yep I agree…about the mythical “Crown Butt” and the rest of this obvious work of fiction.
It is however probable that this gal is a veteran of the NDP, CCF and likely at one point likely shook “Bible Bill’s” hand.
More b.s. from a crazy old lady with a liberal dose of creative writing from Toronto’s version of the Soviet Union’s Pravda. Such lies! Such distortions!
Let’s all stop making any references to articles from that source…all the better to accelerate its demise.
She reminds me of the principal McVicker on Beavis and Butthead, whom the two boys referred to as “McDicker.”
Lets see now. What I meant to say was Central Butte, not Crown Butte. Or wait a minute. There was Lookout Butte, or was it Crow Butte. Naw that can’t be. Ok, Ok, the guy who pointed the 22 at Mom and I. We came to the door late at night, the guy got scared, so he had a gun when we answered the door. But he never really pointed it at us. And when I was I the bush, I was practicing my moose call when the hunter walked up. How did he know I wasn’t a moose with my n?%s caught in a trap!!
Never heard of it.
I lived in Saskatchewan for many years but the nearest is Central Butte SK. Wonder if it was renamed?
my mom was from Pilot Butte Sask……oh how i wish THAT place had never existed…
…sniff….
and my Irish uncle who was escaping from Sinn Fein in the twenties and homesteaded in a place called Robin Hood Sask?
can’t find Robin Hood on any map either but he had pitchers and all of the injuns up there…
Not only the finger on the trigger, I only see one hand at all on the shotgun. That means no muzzle control. And the butt under her shoulder instead of on it?
The only saving grace for the moron photographer that allowed her to do the shot that way, is that I have no doubt she couldn’t hit him/her at even that range.
At this point it should be obvious to even the thickest skulls out there that there is no “debate” here and never was. Gun bans are a sacred cow of the Left, they have been since the 1917 Russian Revolution, and there is nothing they won’t do to protect their progress on the issue.
The Media/Liberal conglomerate and the NDP have chosen this hill. I say we make them die on it.
And by “die” I mean politically, like the Progressive Conservatives, for all the nanny ninnies out there getting their knickers in a twist.
Just another gift of the Left, you can’t use figures of speech anymore without covering your 6 o’clock from a sneak attack. Buncha back shootin’ rattle snakes.
She’s down as living at one time in Central Butte
Probably meant Central Butte, Sasketchewan. That town actually exists. There’s also a geological feature called Crown Butte in Montana, but no town.
But let’s give The Star a break here. Wherever Crown Butte is supposed to be, it’s well out of the Toronto beltway. And the odds of getting a decent latte there are likely slim.
It’s a no go for Crown Butte in Saskatchewan
past or present.
Not even a ghost town named Crown Butte in Wiki…

Feminists Truths blog posts an article very similar to The Stars Article with a few choice differences.
The Star – Guns are a constant in the lives of rural Canadian women
Feminist Truths – Guns are a constant threat in the lives of rural Canadian women.
http://feministtruths.blogspot.com/
1) Some old lady (with an undisclosed agenda) who comes from a place that doesn’t exist says she got scared by a weirdo at the age of four (i.e. almost certainly too young to remember without parental encouragement).
2) ???
3) Gun Registry Good!
We’re up against the finest minds the left has in its arsenal here, people.
I suspect that malicious Mavis made that story up to support her bolshevic agenda and then an enthusiatic journOlista embellished it.
Sorta like Wendy Cukier testifying under oath that her “NGO” had received no government funding directly or indirectly………
She’s been outed at least twice before.
She apparently on the executive of the NDP party and a dedicated feminist.
Also a sitting member of the coalition for gun control. Regretably she doesn’t know how to control the firearm in the star, notice Mr. Finger on trigger, wouldn’t want to be the star photographer.
“Arsenal” is a very agressive, confrontational, even dare I say phallic word, and I wish to apologize to any sensitive trolls or lurkers who might have been traumatized by my using it.
She scammed the NP and glob and whale at least once before with this stupidity, there’s a pretty good chance the red star isn’t even aware that they’re getting hooked. If I find the link on the outing I’ll post it. I think even the photo’s a repeat from another article, if I remember correctly it was a feminist rag from Ryerson U. Possibly called the Hags news.
“It’s not a matter of rural versus urban. It’s a public safety issue. How many women and children in rural Canada are threatened in their own homes with a gun? More than we want to know, I think.”
So how does registering a gun prevent this treat? Is it the fact that the battering husband must have a PAL license to buy and register said gun and the form to apply for that requires her consent giving her a chance to prevent him from buying said gun? So these women are supposed to fear having an unregistered firearm on them but not a registered one since they must consent to the PAL? That’s some leap.
Not a troll but I did get a thrill when you mentioned the word “phallic”. 😉
As far as Mavis goes I am truly amazed that after being traumatized at age four she even looked at a long gun let alone take up hunting.
All that I can find are the already-mentioned Crown Butte in Montana and a Crown Butte Lake in North Dakota, on I-94 not terribly far west of Bismarck. Sounds as if Mavis knows about as much about where she grew up as she does about gun safety.
The place is not the important thing here, the safety of the women and chillin’s are what at issue.
(Moore reminds me of “Granny” on the Beverly Hillbillies, only not a shred of common sense…none-the-less, still a great pair of actresses)
Is she possibly Michael Moore’s mother, same story telling techniques?
Mamba, sadly I think you’re right. Which makes it even more of an outrage we probably get beat on Wednesday.
I watched a debate on Cspan.. All Quebec female groups against police, beyond the emotion (battered Groups) it was no contest.
I would, if I could, ask them what female group would tell a battered women that all they need is this LAW and they are safe to return to thier abusive relationships. Do they really believe that a little tweak is the magic to bliss.. Smells like SOROS
BTW: Thought that Crown Bute may have been that
little mound halfway between Regina & Moosejaw..Most likey wrong
Bump between the Juice and Regina is Belle Plain(sp). The east end of the ramp at CFB was named after it as it was almost as far to go on a cool winter evening.
I finally remember the name of that feminist rag from Ryerson, it’s called “Wasted Beaver”
It’s impossible to pick the most annoying thing about this “article”, but this bit stands out for me:
“Rural and farm women who experience violence in the home describe a cycle of intimidation with guns . . . which makes it really difficult for women even to report what’s going on, “ says Jo-Ann Brooke, director of the Women’s Sexual Assault Centre of Renfrew County in Pembroke, Ont.
What does that mean? Anyone?
“How many women and children in rural Canada are threatened in their own homes with a gun? More than we want to know, I think.” I think that used to be a question on the long form census, now we’ll never know.

click on Strike One at the “exemplary” link.
Looks like she was “busted” there before too.
Black Mamba Isolation I think. No shelters or half-way houses around. Kinda like Latimer but being female.
The thing is most rural woman are around guns. They know how to hit what they aim at or come close. So if abuse is 50/50 as reported the abused husband faces the same risk. Ok, I’ll give that to the women but an abusive husband you are afraid of and a rifle. She probably wouldn’t do time.
She looks like a good old-fashioned hardened NDP voter…I can usually pick one out a mile away…LOL
The only serious chance an average female would have against a violent attack by a larger, stronger man: bare hands, ax, bat, would be if she had a gun.
The only serious chance an average female would have against a serious attack by a bear, wolf, cougar, coyotes would be if she had a gun.
Here in Canada’s highest violent crime centre, most attacks, including home invasions, involve 3 to 5 attackers armed with baseball bats, knives, machetes and increasingly guns.
None of the murder victims have complained about the lack of police protection. Politicians and police chiefs take that as a sign of support for their policies.
Whether robbed, raped, maimed or murdered, the victims have the solace that they were politically correct victims. That’s what the government Victim Services are for.
Notice the government doesn’t have any counseling on Your Right Not To Be A Victim.
Civilian disarmament, gun control, makes the police into Occupational Health and Safety Officers, protecting violent criminals from their victims. And they expect the victims to pay them for that?
I’d like to thank the SDA visitors that stopped in to see the exemplary firearms handling.
And a huge THANKS to Kate for the link.
Rural woman? I do not think so, for I know of no rural woman who would represent such a sexist organisation. As others have stated, just more fake news from the MSM.
You are amazing Kate; nothing gets by you and fellow SDA ers! I grew up in the Cypress Hills; we had a ‘Bald Butte’ there. It was named thus, I was told, because it was a nob hill barren of trees. It was high and steep – sounds like the old gal in the photo might have fixated on the ‘maleness’ of bald Butte and nixed the ‘bald’ for ‘crown’; or she has Butte, Montana (a real place with people, noted for brick buildings and mining) in the back of her soggy head. I doubt she has ever been to Sask.
As for her support of the gun registry, she may have a ‘genius’ nephew/niece who has been promised a ‘job’ sorting, manipulating, massaging data for the Bolshevik crowd. (comparable to the Global climate Hoax). Larry Bagnel promised Yukoners that he would never support the Long gun registry, he said it was a waste of $$ before the last election. We will be watching his vote.
I am very suprised that the usually astute SDA readers did not find Crown Butte, SK. It is very well known down here in the SE part of the province.
There one can find unicorns romping and rainbows appearing every day.
There is no crime and no guns. The local general store provides all the residents’ meat needs in nicely packaged form. Most residents, however, do not eat meat and require no fossil fuels to provide power. Gaia provides everything.
It is truly a very nice place.
Speedy @8:11 – but how would it be a “cycle”? Cycle implies that A leads to B leads to C leads back to A… And why with guns more than any other type of violence? And what is it about gun violence – as opposed to say verbal abuse – that makes it so “difficult for women even to report”? Surely the opposite; I mean I guess I can see why it might be hard to report being yelled at, but being shot?
And why a woman more than any other abused person? And why “Rural and farm women” rather than, say, women who live in apartments? And how does any of it make the Long Gun Registry less totally unreliable, among other idiocies? And frankly, what’s the direct connection to the “Women’s Sexual Assault Centre”?
The brain, she boggles.
I’d be willing to bet there never was a man with a gun in Clown Butte or anywhere else, but you can hardly blame the other hunter now can you?
I am calling for a Liberal-leftist mind registry so that I can check before entering any residence how many cultural nationalists may be inside and what risk they pose to my sanity. There is nothing quite as threatening as the sudden appearance of a cultural nationalist aimed right at you.
“The evaluation of the registry reports that 81 per cent of police officers trained to use it believe it protects public safety. Officers can consult the registry before responding to a domestic violence call to ascertain whether there are guns on site.”
Any officer who “responds to a domestic violence call” thinking there isn’t an unregistered gun inside the domesile because the registry doesn’t list one isn’t going to make it home from one of those calls some day.
Same goes for traffic stops if they think the occupants of the car are unarmed.
The registry DOESN’T HELP the police, it only helps the politicians to locate the registered guns and round them up.
Likewise it doesn’t help public safety if someone is using a weapon, any weapon, against another citizen and the average police response time is 20 minutes.
It only takes seconds for people to be dead or maimed and registering a gun doesn’t prevent it’s use in violence any more than registering a car prevents it’s use in drunk driving or even to use the car itself as a deadly weapon.
The only logical point I can take from the old doll’s story is how much better she’d feel having a REGISTERED gun pointed at her. Did I miss something, here?
Posing as a rustic while being in a leftist urban clique who have contempt for rural lifestyle and values seems pathologically hypocritical. I know the type though. My hunting buddy married one. They want to wash every hint of the farm and rural life off themselves when they network with their kitschy urban left cliques.
But that doesn’t preclude misrepresenting themselves as a hick if there’s political or personal gain in it.
Crown Butte SK, isn’t it a suburb of Dog River SK?
“I think we’ve probably prevented some major events,” says Dr. Barbara Kane”
So Dr. Kane “thinks” we’ve “probably” prevented major events? Now there’s a well-documented, rock solid reason for keeping the abomination alive.
The registry is, by conservative estimates, costing taxpayers $4 million annually. That’s $4 million people! Has the majority of Canadian taxpayers become so numb to government waste and overspending that a fiasco such as the long gun registry is allowed to continue to flush these kinds of dollars down the toilet? Isn’t it high time that special interest groups were dragged from the public trough?
The plain and simple truth is that we can no longer afford to cater to every pet project that cannot sustain itself.
At least one political party recognizes this fact.
Dr. Kane has previously stated that Prince George BC, where she practices is “rural”. I think that’s not quite right for some reason.
I guess her practice in Crown Butte didn’t pan out.
