  1. Unless we are prepared to do something about it, this is the first step in completely disarming Canadians. Don’t look for help from the general public because unless they own guns they either support it or don’t care at all. Even many gun owners who are hunters who think it won’t affect them will support it. The next step will be to make us like Britain,who we like to laugh at for letting themselves be disarmed, then after that we won’t even be able to own sharpened sticks.

  2. The general public doesn’t need to like guns to understand the historical slippery slope of disarming law-abiding citizens. If your government doesn’t trust you with a gun, then you are a subject, not a citizen.

    1. Unfortunately the General Public doesn’t have a clue about history and therein lies the problem.

  3. Total hand gun ban. What do you expect from stupid brainwashed leftist liberals?
    Like seizing my two souvenir hand guns from WWII that I inherited from my father will make any
    difference to reducing gun crime. Dumb f#@ks.

  4. I suspect lots of people will soon declare they have lost or sold firearms that are about to be banned. Firearm owners rarely comply with these bans and enforcement is lackluster. Compliance rates are around 20% regardless if it’s a US state, Australia or Germany. Governments try to make compliance rates look better with statistical magic but data from small arms survey of firearm estimates before bans vs. firearms turned in after bans looks reasonably convincing. Statistical tricks are also used by governments and activists to show a reduction in crime after bans. As a shock to no one gangs, criminals, terrorists and those with homicidal mental illness have a compliance rate of O% and/or use other types of weapons. London is a good example.

    Bans are the lazy way of pretending to be doing something because it’s too expensive financially and politically to implement successful crime, terrorism and mental illness policies.

    A good intro to firearm bans:

    1. This is true, but it means you can’t go to the range and shoot them anymore, unless you are prepared to risk jail for doing so.

    2. Yeah except that all handguns are registered, the JBTs already know what you have. Most people who have handguns also have unrestricted firearms. If your handguns are mysteriously lost you are likely to lose your PAL and will lose the right to own any firearms including unrestricted (unregistered) riffles and shotguns. It is the death of a thousand cuts. All aimed and making Canadians more defenseless and easier to subdue.

      1. I’m not so sure the compliance rate in Canada will be much higher than anywhere else. Rifle registration and enforcement didn’t go so well. If people really need/want something then they’ll find a way around prohibition. Hello, blackmarket. Besides, with new tech, home manufacturing will make contraband firearms even easier to access.

        1. Yeah sure. Now riddle me this: how are you going to hide your handgun when they already know you have it because it is registered to your name, serial number an all. Note that you cannot sell it without registering it to someone else. And what you gonna do with it? You will not be able to take it to the range. You will not be able to practice. So maybe you’ll to hide it and risk prison doing so. Maybe you’ll go through the risk of breaking the law and shooting it a few times in some remote location hoping none sees you. Then what?

          Also, how are you gonna get ammo? Currently you have to show your PAL when buying it. What store is going to stock handgun ammo when handguns are banned?

          The only reason they haven’t banned handguns yet is because they realize that legal handguns have no impact on violent crime and when they take them away they will no longer have us to blame for the escalating gun crime.

          1. It happens. All the time. In every country surveyed. Read the link. Riddle solved.

            Prohibition of alcohol, drugs, prostitution, rifle registries, firearms – it always fails, especially in democracies. Think of the black market as irregular commerce, much like irregular immigration. If they can’t stop busloads of people crossing a border every day, they can’t stop guns and ammunition either. I doubt there would be the political will to do strict enforcement and confiscation.

            The only people who will get caught are the ones who are not so bright or unlucky.

          2. Ok so in other words people will get away with breaking a law for some time unless they get caught. Super. Thanks for your contribution.

            P.S. Have you heard about Brits enjoying their guns because there is no enforcement of their draconian anti-gun laws? It happens all the time right?

  5. I don’t know why Canadian Gun Owners wont just organize a Million Gun March on Ottawa to put an end to this utter liberal nonsense about guns and gun crime

    Are Canadian Gun Owners not sick and tired of being scapegoated by the Liberals in Ottawa year after year?
    All we have to do to tell the Liberals of Canada that we’ve had enough of their crap and that we wont tolerate it anymore is to organize a march on Parliament Hill,firearm in hand (unloaded of course), and tell them that’s it, we’re done with your b*******

    1. That would be against the law. Bringing firearms to a public gathering, loaded or not, is a violation of the CC. Gun owners in Canada are too busy fighting amongst themselves to band together against anything. As far as a ban goes, handguns are already effectively banned. I have to have a special permit issued by the government to own a handgun (RPAL), I undergo background checks on a daily basis to retain that permit, I require another permit to transport my handgun to, and only to, a range that has been approved by the government to shoot handguns at (authorization to transport) and while it is being transported it has to be triggerlocked and locked in an opaque case. The only time I can remove it is at the range or at my home. Note that none of the people(?) running around with guns in Toronto, Surrey or elsewhere are following those rules.

      1. This. It’s too bad the yellow press don’t seem to get this part. Believing that a handgun ban would make any difference under this scenario is a sign of ignorance, laziness, or mendacity.

      2. One correction, with the rules currently in place your restricted PAL is your ATT for home to range or home to guns store trips. It used to be you needed to have ATT separate from PAL. Following Harper reforms few years ago this no longer is the case. If I understand the current liberal legislation (the actual one not the ban salivated over by the MSM) your PAL will remain your ATT for home to range trips (you have to be a member of that range) but you will need ATT in order to take it to a range where you’re a guest or to a gun store or a gun show.

        NOTE this is not a legal advice, check the rules yourself.

  6. Oh please!
    Canadians are frikkin mice!
    Canadians will be whistling Happy Days as they walk into the ovens.

    And if there were going to be any investigation into any Libranoism, I suspect the Marijuana industry is infested from top to bottom feeder.
    Tis where the money is. Libranos will be close by.
    But hey this is Canada, the fix is always in.
    Good luck finding:

    a. A real journalist
    b. somebody to publish
    c. somebody to investigate
    d. somebody to prosecute
    e. anybody to believe
    f.any kind of truth
    g.anything going on in the Groper’s head whatsoever

    1. You believe them? Anyone posting here, is already on a list. Pretty soon, we’ll all be “watched”, in our streets, like the Chinese.

  8. We don’t have property rights in this country. Free speech is being eroded. Gun ownership is way down on the average sheeple’s list, well below legal pot smoking. Complain to your MP? Bahahaha! Mine is No Time McKenna. I’d probably just get put on a threat list so they can take away my house as well.

    What we really need is WOMEN gun owners to step up and push back.
    The filthy Liberals wouldn’t know whether to take a crap or do a cartwheel if thousands of WOMEN protested. The press would try to censor it of course. PM Assgrabber would probably cry.

  9. ” Don’t look for help from the general public …”

    True, Minuteman. So thank God we have Scheer, eh?

    1. Yes, our “Ange” is certainly vocal in his support for us gun owners,Charlton Heston couldn’t have done better.

      I hope someone has had the sense to suggest to our federal government that perhaps some gun laws could be put into the hands of city governments,so like gun crime free Chicago and Baltimore, they could have jurisdiction over the issue just in their cities.

      The current spate of handgun violence is Toronto’s problem,so let them ban handguns in Toronto and leave the rest of the country out of it. I realize that every left-wing city government in Canada would jump on the bandwagon with this, but we might be surprised to find out the voting power of gun owners in local elections in some of our smaller cities.

      It’s just imho, but a reasonable alternative to a total handgun ban which will do sfa for crime in Toronto, and will put the life of a trapper or free miner in Fort nelson at risk.

      Andy? Andy baby,are you there?

        “Yes our ‘Ange’ is certainly vocal in his support for us gun owners, Charlton Heston couldn’t have done better.”

        Ha, good reference to The Andy Griffith Show 1960-1968. The Sheriff ‘Ange’ couldn’t keep his deputy, Barney Fife (Don Knotts) from shooting himself in the foot with his ‘one’ bullet. ( Knotts was underated) ‘Ange’ Scheer is overated.

        Good comment don morris.

  10. Blair’s mandate also outlines other jobs for the new portfolio, including leading the government’s plan to deal with asylum seekers entering Canada outside official border points (which the letter refers to as “irregular migration”),

    Today I saw a great solution in a letter to a local paper: RCMP should give each irregular migrant Exlax and a supply of adult Depends as they cross the border.
