Cold Saskie Hands

Rod Giltaca;

Saskatchewan introduces legislation to authorize individuals to store their newly prohibited firearms on behalf of the provincial government while seeking FULL compensation from the feds.

No warrants or seizures can be authorized after the amnesty ends under these conditions. They provide authorized possession indefinitely during the process of seeking compensation, however long that takes. This is made possible via section 117.08 of the Criminal Code and the CFO’s ability to designate individuals to assist the province in a variety of ways.

Saskatchewan strikes again!!!

Cold Canuck Hands

Tristan Hopper, National Post (paywalled);

The Liberals’ plan to “buy back” thousands of once-legal firearms has experienced so many cost overruns that it has so far more than $24,000 for every gun collected.

This means that for just three firearms turned over as part of the program, the federal government could have instead paid the starting salary of a full-time RCMP officer ($71,191).

For every two guns, the government could have purchased a new fully-equipped patrol car.[…]

As of the latest count from Public Safety Canada, “more than 32,000” firearms have been collected in the first six weeks of the program. But this is against the $779.8 million in costs that the program has incurred to date.

This works out to roughly $24,370 per firearm, most of which is sunk administrative costs that the original owner will never see.

Great Success!

National Post- Federal government confirms 25 guns collected in ‘buyback’ pilot,

Public Safety Canada, the department overseeing the program, had, up until Wednesday, only signed two agreements with local jurisdictions whose police agreed to collect firearms to be turned over by gun owners under the controversial program. Those services were in Winnipeg and Cape Breton, the latter of which helped the federal government pilot a test-run of the program, set to be rolled out nationally sometime this month.

‘Tis But A Scratch

John Leake- Mass Stabbing on UK Train Casts Spotlight on British Stabbing Epidemic

In the year ending March 2025, 53,000 knife or sharp instrument offenses were recorded in England and Wales (population 61 million) which represents an 81% increase over the last decade.

Compare that to 84,000 gunshot incidents in the United States (population 340 million) in 2023. While gunshots have a much higher case fatality rate than stabbing, knives can still inflict horrible injuries with lifelong sequelae. The spectacle of man coming after you with a knife is also one of the most terrifying experiences imaginable.

Cold Canuck Hands

Youtube: Audio recordings of the Public Safety Minister talking about the “buyback” confiscation program:

▶️ launches Tuesday with pilot project in Cape Breton
▶️ money pot “capped” at $742M, after it’s exhausted you get nothing
▶️ admits if he had to start over they’d scrap it but it was a campaign promise
▶️ blames pressure from Quebec (electorate, caucus, Provost?)
▶️ implies it won’t be enforced?
▶️ admits gun owners will not get fair compensation
▶️ offers to pay constituent the difference lol
▶️ offers to pay bail for constituent if he practises non compliance and gets arrested

Repeat Offenders

It’s not like this incident happened in the core area of Winnipeg, but rather a quiet suburban neighborhood. Any bets on how long it will be until this guy is back on the street?

A 23-year-old man with a lengthy rap sheet is accused of barging into a northwest Winnipeg home Monday evening and randomly assaulting two elderly residents as they relaxed in their living room.

George has numerous prior convictions for possessing weapons and breaching court orders. He’s also been convicted of uttering threats, obstructing a police officer and assaulting an officer. George was barred from owning weapons for life after pleading guilty in August 2024 to several firearms possession offences he committed in November 2023.

I reported to RCMP and my RSO just last week a group of these guys at my own range.

– shooting AK-47’s
– using a banned shotgun (banned on this range for damage they cause)
– using over capacity mags (counted multiple 30 round mags fired)
– transporting firearms while loaded
– taking pictures of my SUV as I left the range.
– one of the 5 had a membership. (only one guest is allowed per card carrier)

“Two” have been charged. TWO. (Not that it matters).
