Blacklocks- Gun Program Fizzles
The RCMP in an Inquiry Of Ministry said it had 2,123 blacklisted firearms. A third, a total 723, were surrendered by owners. Another third were seized in police investigations.
Cabinet in 2020 blacklisted hundreds of thousands of high-powered firearms. Federal consultants counted 110,161 affected by the ban. The Department of Public Safety later estimated the number was as high as 200,000 while the Budget Office put it up to 518,000 firearms.
Nothing is an emergency.
Globe and Mail- So, what happened to Canada’s gun control emergency?
The Trudeau government, by comparison, excels at making announcements, and trips over its laces when it comes to implementation (see: pharmacare, defence procurement, appointing judges, vaccine development, dental care).
Canada Post is refusing to collect firearms that were banned by the federal government in 2020, complicating Ottawa’s plans for a buyback program to remove 144,000 firearms from private hands, federal sources say.
The Crown corporation informed the government of its position in a recent letter. It said its decision was based on concerns about its employees’ security, according to federal sources who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
One key source of concern being cited by Canada Post is the possibility of staff conflicts with gun owners who have been asked to give up their so-called “assault” or “military-style” weapons, which can no longer be used or sold in Canada.
Good for them.
At one time I was told that legal, personal ownership of a firearm was extraordinarily difficult in South Africa, but it seems that times have changed. That won’t stop the BBC, however, from trying to frame the problem as one of gun ownership as opposed to a criminal justice system that has largely collapsed along with the economy.
For the last six years Penson Mlotshwa has been carrying a gun with him wherever he goes in the South African city of Johannesburg. To the shops, restaurants and even the gym. His gun has become an extension of him as the country battles record levels of crime. “I’m not a fortune teller – I never know when I will be attacked,” the YouTube content creator told the BBC.
“Unfortunately, I’ve had to use my gun multiple times to protect myself,” he sighs, explaining how a man wanting his wallet pulled a knife on him after dinner one night. He drew his gun and made the mugger hand over the pocket knife, which he threw in the gutter.
If guns are made illegal, only illegals will own guns.
U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Coleman of the Northern District of Illinois referenced lower court rulings in dismissing firearm possession charges against Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, who was illegally or unlawfully in the United States when he possessed a handgun in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago on June 1, 2020. […]
Carbajal-Flores was charged under Title 18 of U.S. Criminal Code, which legally disallows undocumented individuals to possess firearms and ammunition “or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.”
National Post- Feds begin search for vendors to operate firearm confiscation program
Last month, an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) was issued by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) on behalf of Public Safety Canada, seeking to pre-qualify suppliers interested in administering the federal Firearms Buyback Program (FBP), responsible for collecting and eventually destroying over 1,500 firearm models banned under the federal government’s May 1 2020 order-in-council.
Houston jury will not charge man who killed robber at Houston taqueria.
The Venezuela Effect: The secret to Trudeau’s hold on power is to flood the zone with so much incompetence and corruption that the nation surrenders in defeat.
Cabinet budgeted $37.4 million and spent a quarter of it on a gun buyback program without buying any guns, records show. Newly disclosed figures follow an internal Department of Public Safety report that warned the program was prone to “wasted time, energy and funds.”
The following was sent to me by a reader:
Wow… This crazy bitch just became a full commie tyrant.
New Mexico Governor Governor Lujan Grisham – No Constitutional Right “in Her View” is Absolute, including Her Oath of Office.
Most likely criminals with illegal guns while driving shot and killed a kid and this evil commie is politicizing his death & stripping away constitutional rights under the guise of “public health”.
Sorry bitch, the constitution doesn’t get suspended because “Your View” doesn’t align with it.
When an “emergency” can bypass our constitutional rights, there will always be an “emergency” created by evil people to bypass our constitutional rights.
Biden Administration Withholding Funds from Schools with Hunting Courses
Alleged president Joe Biden is on his “ban assault rifles” kick again because the government apparently needs to keep firearms out of the hands of law-abiding citizens and in the hands of meth-addled whoremonger scumbags like his son. One constant component of this stumped stump speech is a line of nonsense that essentially boils down to us not needing real guns to fight government tyranny because the government – his government – will unleash the F-16s on you uppity peasants if you fail to obey your elite masters. I’m not persuaded by the argument that says, “You are crazy for thinking you need guns to resist tyranny and, also, we will murder you and your family if you attempt to resist tyranny.”
Liberals, “hold my beer”.
Globe and Mail- Liberals withdraw controversial amendments to gun law
Bill C-21 initially targeted handguns but in late-stage amendments the Liberals expanded the law to also target assault-style rifles.
The changes had the rare impact of uniting all opposition parties against the law. Until the proposed changes, both the NDP and Bloc Québécois had supported the bill. The Assembly of First Nations also unanimously opposed the amendments, which would criminalize guns that First Nations people commonly use for hunting.

Houston Police want to speak this man, but he’s not charged with a crime. HPD says a gunman was robbing people at a taqueria on S. Gessner last night.

Keep in mind that Kansas is not nearly as cold as the Canadian prairies. These kinds of problems might go a long way to explaining why a farm near my home, despite being ecstatic about their Ford Lightning when they bought it this summer, have had to park it for the winter. For those Canadians considering an EV, they might want to factor in the cost of insulating and heating their garage, if they have one.
When they set off, Steavenson said, they could drive for at least 2 ½ hours before needing to charge the Tesla. “We ended up having to stop every one to 1 ½ hours to charge for an hour, then an hour and a half, then two hours,” he said.
“So beyond the lost time, it also got to the point it was between $25 and $30 to recharge,” Steavenson said. “Just in one day, we stopped six times to charge at that cost.”
Steavenson said Hertz said on its website that renting a Tesla was “always cheaper than gas” but added that he’d found the claim to be far from his experience.
A gun called the Butt Master is on Trudeau’s list of banned terrorist guns. The issue is there is only 1 Butt Master in the world, made 23 years ago, and the guy that made it still owns it, in Texas.
