On Parliament Hill, a Liberal government that claims to be terribly concerned about misinformation — and wants to regulate the internet to make it better — is either lying to fend off criticism of its latest gun-control push, or it has no idea what it’s doing. Even as it insists it is not going after hunting rifles and shotguns, it is clearly going after hunting rifles and shotguns.
But read on.
Keep in mind the biggest oxymoron in the known universe is HONEST POLITICIAN. Gun control was started by the cons during Kim the back stabber time as pm.
Where are the twenty thousand AR-10’s (AR-15’s) that the federal government purchased and where is the group being trained to use these fully automatic guns on Canadians ? Our prime minister said that these guns are only meant to kill people.
I am old enough to remember when you needed to get a simple possession certificate. Anyone who contended this was a pathway to registration and seizure was pronounced a paranoid wingnut. Well, we are frogs in a pot, and they are turning up the heat. I love my paranoia.
“I am old enough to remember when you needed to get a simple possession certificate.”
Yes, me too. And I recall the blank looks I got when I asked “since when do I need a license to keep my own property that I paid for, and that I paid taxes on into the bargain?” Seriously, people would bluster! “But but but, you have a driver’s license don’t you?”
Do you need a driver’s license to own a car? How about a tractor? Mini-bike? Golf cart? Frigging tricycle? 1969 Camaro sitting in a barn since 1969, you got plates for that? No. You don’t.
Blank, deer-in-the-headlights expressions as tiny minds experienced the unfamiliar sensation of thought, then rejected it as too painful to bear. “Shut up! You’re just a Nazi!” I always found it hilarious that they scream Nazi at people for demanding -less- government regulation and -more- personal freedom, without even a single thought
And so, here we are, 2022, and they’re banning skeet guns and single-shot hunting rifles, .22 pop-can shooters and bolt-action guns, which I’ve been told a million times could never happen. I’ve been raging about it since the 1980s, others before me since 1968. No logic, fact or argument will sway the Normies. No cautionary example of history will move them. They are intractably, militantly oblivious and WILL NEVER see what’s in front of their faces. Never.
Oh well. We tried.
I am old enough to remember that when my Grandfather gave me my 12 guage there was zero paperwork. I had it until I was twenty and then someone else got it. I was twelve when he gave it to me and he used to load shells for me.
This is about making the country safe for politicians who intend to do things to us that they think will get them shot.
Rusty, My thinking as well.
When crime gets out of hand, regular idiots continue to say, “The government should do something” thus giving more power to the politicians, therefore creating a symbiotic relationship between government and criminals.
Meaning they have an evil need of each other. Criminals keep the regulars fearful and compliant.
Whereas lawful gun owners that have…usually more than one gun,
would, if ever the crap really hit the fan, and government tried to do, or did do something, to the regular idiots that causes an upheaval, or devolves into a possible civil war, we might, or probably would, give our spare ammo and spare guns to our neighbors. To “fight for the cause against an oppressive government”. Therefore we gun owners are the real threat to the politicians and government if they “did something” we peasants really didn’t like!
This has been my contention for several decades, but nobody listens to me 🙂
Liberals have lied like a cheap watch since day one. A master class of incrementalism.
It’s been a slow march since 1890 but that harridan Wendy Culkier really got the ball rolling.
Putting to rest that snarky bromide of a lie… “Don’t worry, no one is trying to take your hunting rifles away from you”.
Sentence one: “…a high-functioning and reasonably well-governed democracy.”
Horse shit. I closed the article right there.
Selley pretends to be a libertarian.
Where would you find that these days?
The following comment was “deactivated” at the NP:
The LPC/NDP regime is likely the most serious threat to liberty Canada has ever faced. With Trudeau’s ego and Jagmeet’s desperation for being close to power, all the delusional dreams of the left including disarming the citizenry are within their reach. Increasingly, Western separation appears to be the only hope for freedom loving people. The current path leads to Canada becoming Venezuela North.
Totally reasonable comment. I’m surprised NP would can it!
They’ve “deactivated 3 of my last 4 comments. Despite a handful of conservative journalists, they are likely staffed with the normal institutional leftist drones. Even if I cancel my subscription, I’ll still be paying for their censors through my taxes.
Thinking here, which thing is always a dangerous activity.
Seeing the ministers of the government of this country, sitting around a table, possibly square, and as is the want of meetings of nowadays, each coming up with more shitty ideas then the previous one.
Don’t know it the common phase, ‘no idea is bad idea’ is still employed.
As they go around the table, possibly square, they encourage each other how sophisticated and possibly renown, their ideas are.
The common sense and rational thought don’t come into consideration.
But, but, but, don’t fear, the apparatchiks, the bottom feeders and the taxpayer paid mass media cartel are all working in unison to come up with so much bullshit that the plebeians eventually lose any interest in the convoluted product that, one would think, does not make sense even to the authors of the program, though they decide, let’s go with the bullshit, future be damned.
Sad part is that the majority of the population will nod in approval and reelect the low life.
Vito, This government has fully adopted the line,
“If you can’t dazzle em with brilliance, baffle em with bullshit”.
There are none that have any of that “brilliance”!
Alberta Strong!
Here is Alberta’s Chief Firearms Officer Terri Bryant telling off the liberals ‘civil disarmament’ (my term) plan in very plain language. Short video.

Too polite by half, and about a minute too long. Doesn’t take much time or effort to tell the bastards to FOAD.
“Even as it insists it is not going after hunting rifles and shotguns, it is clearly going after hunting rifles and shotguns.”
PP fell for this bait and others are falling for it to. Potato will remove the few obvious baits (like Ruger No1) and say: “See we have cleaned up the list, only assault weapons left” surely you don’t object to it now?
Fudds will even nod.
Import turd world, and those with no culture of gun ownership will support you.
