“the threats the Delaware Dictator keeps making are seriously dank, but he opened the door, so let’s peer on in…”

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.”

You Can’t Piss Off Everybody

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.

Sparky Frozen Expensive Cars

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.

Misinformation Watch: The Week In Review

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.

Cold Alberta Hands

Countersignal: Alberta RCMP ordered to stand down during Trudeau’s firearms “buyback” program

Alberta’s Minister of Justice, Tyler Shandro announced today in a press conference that he will obstruct the gun grab by any means necessary. His office, in a coordinated response to Trudeau, issued orders to the K-Division expressly directing them to ignore federal orders on the matter.

Ignoring Federal Orders

“Alberta is not legally obligated and will not offer any provincial resources to the Federal Government as it seeks to confiscate lawfully acquired firearms,” Tyler Shandro shot back at the federal government today [emphasis in original].

“The decision to ban over 1,500 models of different firearms, simply because the “style” of the firearm was deemed to be aesthetically displeasing, is offensive and suggests to us that you are uninterested in meaningfully addressing gun crime,” the response reads.

“Further, I am concerned that federal officials have indicated that they will direct the RCMP to participate in the confiscation program. I am advising you that I am disputing such direction or intention to take such direction, as outlined in Article 23.0 of the Provincial Police Service Agreement.”

“Finally, preliminary estimates suggest that you will need to confiscate over 30,000 firearms in Alberta alone. We believe that Public Safety Canada does not have the capacity, wherewithal, or the resources to seriously attempt this effort. And, much like the long gun registry, we believe your efforts will fail in the face of opposition from the public.”

And The Criminals Cheered

Sun- Man out of jail year after conviction for smuggling 248 guns into Canada

William Rainville pleaded guilty just over a year ago to bringing in the bodies of 248 Polymer80 Glock-type pistols without serial numbers. There were also high-capacity magazines and other parts for these illegal weapons.

The estimated street value of all the gear was $1.6 million on the black market.
