New Sask. Firearms Act takes aim at feds buy back plan​


Saskatchewan continues to call its own shots in response to federal gun initiatives, with the introduction of new legislation asserting the province’s role in the federal government’s buy back plan.

On Thursday, the provincial government introduced the Saskatchewan Firearms Act, which Public Safety Minister Christine Tell said “will help address concerns of responsible firearms owners and enhance public safety.”

The new legislation comes after amendments to Bill C-21, the federal government moved to ban hundreds of new models of legally owned firearms and shotguns.

Speaking to media following the announcement Thursday, Tell said the act intends to promote safe gun storage and regulate seizures of firearms in Saskatchewan.

“We want people in this province to be as safe and secure as they can,” she said.

Under the new legislation, agents collecting surrendered firearms, including those entities contracted by the federal government, will be required to be licensed by Saskatchewan’s chief firearms officer.

The exponentially expanding budget associated with the liberals "get tough on hunters" amendment:

Expanded Liberal gun ban could cost taxpayers 'another billion dollars,' says criminologist

The Liberal government’s cost for its mandatory gun buyback plan is bound to rise substantially in light of a proposal to expand the list of prohibited weapons to what could be millions more currently legal hunting and sport shooting rifles.

Public Safety Canada was unable to provide updated estimates for the significantly expanded expropriation, but criminologist Gary Mauser estimates the cost could add another $1 billion to the $756 million estimated cost the Parliamentary Budget Officer released last year.

“That is another billion dollars — because so many popular long guns will be caught by it,” said Mauser, a Simon Fraser University professor.

Gary Mauser is underestimating this.

Those in favor of such frivolous waste when the current government is madly taking us down the unending and incredible debt trail, raise your hands... Case in point the MILLIONS already spent on this mind numbing foolishness with even a single firearm turned in (bureaucratic wages, which of course are paid bi-weekly to sit and do nada, and infrastructure design proven time and time again to be faulty...)

Sheesh!

For the sake of national unity, Liberals should drop hunting rifle ban​


The gun control legislation threatens to deepen the divide between rural and urban Canada

OTTAWA — Canada’s firearm classification system would baffle students of Byzantium, but even the uninitiated can figure out the fundamental unfairness in the government’s proposed amendments to its gun control law.

The Conservatives claim the Liberals are intent on going after hunting rifles in a sneaky amendment that was not in the original Bill C21 that was debated in the House of Commons.

The public safety minister, Marco Mendicino, has said the government has “no intention whatsoever” of banning hunting rifles.

After watching testimony before the public safety committee on Thursday, it is fair to say neither position reflects precisely what is going on.

What is much clearer is that this is a ridiculous way to make public policy. For the sake of national unity, the government should drop an amendment for which there appears to be no need. If there had been, the provisions would have been included in the original bill.

But handguns are the public safety problem, not hunting rifles, and their pursuit makes it look like the Liberals are trying to ingratiate themselves with urbanites who don’t like any type of guns, at the expense of rural Canadians, for whom firearms are integral to their lifestyle. And that is quite apart from the soaring cost of a buy-back that will likely run into billions of dollars.

'I am not a criminal': Carey Price takes aim at federal firearms bill​


Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price took to Instagram on Saturday to voice his opposition to Bill C-21, the federal government’s new firearms bill.

The goaltender's Instagram post was praised by the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights and the Conservatives, and criticized by the PolySeSouvient gun control group and Bloc Québécois.

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price took to Instagram on Saturday to voice his opposition to Bill C-21, the federal government’s new firearms bill.

He posted a photo of himself wearing camouflage and holding a firearm while standing in a field alongside a caption that read: “I love my family, I love my country and I care for my neighbour. I am not a criminal or a threat to society. What (Justin Trudeau) is trying to do is unjust. I support the (Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights) to keep my hunting tools.

Price’s statement was enthusiastically greeted by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

“Carey is absolutely right,” he wrote on Twitter. “Hunting is a great Canadian tradition. Trudeau’s attempts to ban hunting rifles are an attack on rural and Indigenous people. We must stop him.”

How Bill C-21 turned from banning handguns to hunting guns​

The government's latest amendment would ban many hunting rifles, shotguns, even antique cannons

Confusion was on the agenda at a parliamentary committee last week after the Liberal government brought in last-minute amendments to its contentious gun control legislation.

The proposed changes to Bill C-21 were tacked on by Liberal MP Paul Chiang after it had passed second reading — drawing complaints from opposition MPs who accused the government of sneaking in changes that would expand the scope of prohibited weapons to include hunting rifles.

 

‘This is not a good news story’: Toronto police lay 260 charges, seize 62 firearms, but says gun seizure this size is disturbing​


In yet another gun trafficking bust by the Toronto Police Service — this one dubbed “Project Barbell” — one statistic jumped out.

Of the 62 firearms destined for the streets, 58 were traceable back to their beginnings, and of those 57 came from the United States. The lone remaining traceable firearm had its origins in Canada, a firearm reported stolen by a legal gun owner.

That 57 of the 58 traceable guns originated from the U.S. — primarily Arizona and Texas — speaks to “our border integrity, and the flow of illegal crime guns coming up from the United States,” said Watts.

“While we are here to show the public the results of a successful investigation, this is not a good news story,” said Ramer. “We should all be disturbed by a gun seizure of this magnitude.”

Ramer used the occasion to underline police calls to have Ontario and Superior Court judges handle bail hearings for firearms offences “to hold the most high-risk offenders more accountable for their dangerous actions.” He also called for criminal code changes to see first degree murder charges for any killings in public settings.

Public sentiment is now shifting against latest Trudeau gun laws​


Trudeau’s Bill C-21 is creating a firestorm among hunters, sportsmen and associations from across the country. It began as a ban on “military-grade” assault-style firearms – black guns. Then the feds turned their sights to legally-obtained handguns. And now the revisions made will impact thousands of rifles and shotguns that are “low-powered, slow to fire and only ever designed to shoot birds, deer or skeet.”

While some Canadians could see merit in the banning of “military-style assault rifles,” in light of our country’s deadliest mass shooting – the April 2020 rampage in Truro, Nova Scotia that claimed the lives of 22 innocents and injured three others until the RCMP shot the gunman – the scales of public sentiment on the current ban have seemingly tipped against Trudeau and his Ministers.

Unlike our southern neighbours, gun culture in Canada is more subdued and has a strong history of reasonable legislation. But get in the way of a northerner on his or her annual moose hunt or Sunday outing to fill the freezer with deer? Look out. That is a sure-fire way to ruffle some Canuck feathers.

Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba have made it clear they do not support the federal push, with potentially more provinces to join. And while Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino wags his finger at them and calls their pushback “reckless” and “political stunting,” it’s pretty tough for even the greatest gun opponents to argue their reasons for opposition.

These opposing provinces maintain that they won’t take part in the buyback program because they don’t have the RCMP resources to waste on harassing duck hunters, that the ban is virtue signalling and that law-abiding gun owners are being unfairly made to look like criminals. All of which are fair and truthful reasons to oppose the gun grab.

GUEST OP-ED: Public sentiment is now shifting against latest Trudeau gun laws

As the Alberta government readies to rumble with Ottawa over standing up for our province and the people in it, the Trudeau Liberals are certainly demonstrating gross federal overreach with what is believed to be the largest gun ban in Canadian history, leaving little confusion over why Albertans ar

Liberals focus on useless gun ban rather than addressing women's safety​


This week, Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price apologized after he posted a pro-hunting gun message on Instagram days before the Polytechnique anniversary. Mass outrage ensued, with many condemning Price for being insensitive.

Yet it seems more offensive that, instead of considering concrete solutions to stop gender-based violence, so many Canadians’ attention is swept up debating hunting rifles that are rarely used in femicides. Conflating hunting and sport shooting with gender-based violence does little to actually prevent future violence, but it does serve a political purpose.

This is also what makes the Liberals’ transparently partisan and inexplicably broad new gun legislation more problematic than anything an NHL player could post. It diverts attention, time, effort and political capital away from actual solutions, in favour of hammering away on a pet wedge issue.

It allows the public to think something’s being done, when in fact nothing of substance is.

All the verifiable untruths Liberals have told about their gun ban​

The push for Bill C-21 has featured an awful lot of Liberal MPs saying things that are extremely not true

A Canadian government should never be fully expected to tell the truth at all times, but the fight over Bill C-21 has featured an awful lot of instances of MPs and federal ministers saying things that are not true.

Bill C-21 started off as a pretty routine bill to codify some earlier Liberal orders banning the sale and transfer of handguns. But then, in an 11th hour amendment, a Liberal committee member slipped in a 400-page schedule of long guns to be criminalized.

By any measure, this is the most sweeping firearms prohibition in history and will ban whole categories of firearms that have only ever been marketed and sold as hunting arms. In response, the primary Liberal defence has been to simply deny that any hunting arms will be caught by the ban, even though this is easily debunked by even a cursory reading of the amendments.

Below, a not-at-all comprehensive guide to all the times that Liberal MPs have said verifiably false statements in defence of the Bill C-21 amendments.

Both the handgun crackdown and the Bill C-21 ban list apply almost exclusively to law-abiding gun owners as they seek to criminalize behaviour that has previously been legal and regulated. And, of course, the proposed legislation has no effect whatsoever on Canada’s apparently swelling ranks of gun criminals, who have already long abandoned their adherence to federal firearms legislation.

Trudeau admits Bill C-21 will target firearms used for hunting​


Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted his government is using Bill C-21 to target some hunting rifles, but said that's because those firearms are "too dangerous in other contexts."

"Our focus now is on saying 'OK, there are some guns, yes, that we're going to have to take away from people who were using them to hunt,'" Trudeau said.

"But, we're going to also make sure that you're able to buy other guns from a long list of guns that are accepted that are fine for hunting, whether it's rifles or shotguns."

But on Monday, the prime minister told CTV News there are some firearms used for hunting that "unfortunately fall on the wrong side of the line."

"Not many, but there are some that are slightly overpowered or have too large a magazine capacity or technical reasons like that," Trudeau said. "Nobody wants assault-style weapons anywhere in this country. You don't use them for hunting, and you shouldn't have them for any other reason."

With the ‘most guns and most knowledge,’ NWT MP tackles Bill C-21​

The NWT’s Liberal MP says he is applying his own gun knowledge in a bid to scale back the federal government’s proposed ban on some long guns.
McLeod said he had told public safety minister Marco Mendicino the bill will not have his support until he is “completely convinced” northern hunters, sport shooters and trappers will be unaffected.

“I have also indicated that I’m not satisfied that his people have done a good-enough job to consult,” the MP said.

“There are already some guns that are not semi-automatics on the list, and we need to know why,” he said. “Most of them are because they exceed the 10,000 joule [projectile limit] but we are trying to scrub the list, to make sure nothing gets on that list that people are using for hunting in the North.”

“Rifles are not just for hunting. They ensure our safety from predatory animals, such as polar bears.


“There is still time to make this right and we will keep working to make sure any amendments to the bill will not ban guns primarily used for hunting and for the safety of northerners.”
