Speaking at #SECD yesterday, not only did the ADM of Public Safety Canada, @TDakalbab, confirm what licensed gun owners have known for decades (Registration leads to confiscation 100% of the time),… pic.twitter.com/Xqyyjo0ppm— CCFR/CCDAF (@CCFR_CCDAF) October 24, 2023

OTTAWA – The Liberal government is moving ahead with efforts to keep assault-style firearms out of the hands of Canadians, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Monday.
LeBlanc, who assumed the portfolio over the summer, told a Senate committee the government will enact regulations to complement gun-control legislation being studied by members of the upper chamber.
The government bill includes a ban on assault-style firearms that would apply once the legislation comes into force.
The RCMP has told owners to turn in fully automatic military surplus firearms after hundreds were misidentified and allowed into Canada for commercial sale.
The Mounties say the registrar of firearms immediately froze records relating to the 245 prohibited guns upon discovery of the issue to prevent further sale or transfer of the firearms.
The registrar believes three firearm businesses imported and registered the guns as semi-automatic Tavor X95s that are classified as restricted firearms and can be sold in Canada.
OTTAWA – The federal Liberal government says it will extend an amnesty order on guns it prohibited in the wake of the deadly 2020 Nova Scotia shooting rampage for an extra two years.
Public Safety Canada quietly posted the extension on its website about the yet-to-be-developed firearms buyback program, saying the amnesty period that was set to expire at the end of the month will remain in place until Oct. 30, 2025.
FREDERICTON – Even as the technology to produce so-called “ghost guns” becomes less expensive and more widespread, the RCMP is not keeping records on how often the weapons are used in crimes across the country.
Ghost guns are firearms without serial numbers that are assembled from individual parts or 3D printers. They are easy to make and hard to trace, and are increasingly showing up at crime scenes in Canada and the United States.
A delivery driver who shot a YouTube prankster in the chest from close range after a failed stunt was acting in “self-defence”, a United States jury has ruled.
Alan Colie, 31, was acquitted by a Virginia court of aggravated malicious wounding in the shooting of 21-year-old Tanner Cook, who runs the Classified Goons YouTube channel.
Colie pleaded not guilty and said he was acting in self-defence during the incident at the Dulles Town Centre shopping centre earlier this year.

I am fine with this.
With just six weeks left before amnesty granted under a May 2020 firearms prohibition expires, a Canadian firearm owners’ advocacy group is planning to take the federal government to court.
The injunction, expected to be filed on Friday, comes courtesy of the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR,) who say it’s time the Trudeau Liberals stop leaving scores of Canadian gun owners wondering if their collections will be illegal by Halloween.
Presidentish Joe Biden’s crackdown on hunter education in schools is being met with an act of defiance in Wyoming, best summarized with two words in ancient Greek familiar to American gun owners: Molon Labe.
The gun lobby is learning from Big Tobacco
Guns have been tied to American identity ever since the nation declared independence. But from Buffalo Bill to Rambo, the rugged, gun-toting individual has been mythologised by the gun lobby almost exclusively as a white male. And this myth was based on reality: five years ago, half of white men owned a gun — compared with a quarter of non-white men, and a quarter of women. A lot, however, has changed since then.
The group the federal government called “the primary source of information for industry” in the retail-banned firearm buyback says it still does not know when the program will begin.
This comes as the amnesty on banned firearms is set to expire on Oct. 30.
I hear they’re working on a racialized gun owner exemption for urban thugs.
A pro-gun group is suing the New Mexico governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, in an effort to block a 30-day emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in Albuquerque’s Bernalillo county issued last week after a spate of shootings.
The governor announced open and concealed carry restrictions on Friday in a public health order relating to gun violence after the fatal shootings of an 11-year-old boy on his way home from a minor league baseball game last week, as well as the fatal shooting of a four-year-old girl in her bed in a motor home and a 13-year-old girl in Taos county in August.
I’m one of those who believes that what stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Sometimes, that good guy is a police officer, and sometimes, the good guy is a civilian. Leftists claim that the good guys’ contribution is so inconsequential that it doesn’t justify honoring citizens’ Second Amendment to keep and bear arms. New Mexico governor Michelle Grisham certainly agrees with that viewpoint. Leftists look to FBI statistics to support their arguments—so will you be surprised to learn that the FBI’s statistics are wrong? And, as always, that the error works to support leftist ideology and political positions?
In 1938, Mao Tse-tung (Zedong) issued a requisite for his fellow ideologues, “Every Communist must grasp the truth, ‘Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.’”
In July 2018, a gunman in Toronto’s Danforth district randomly fired his U.S.-made .40-calibre Smith & Wesson semi-automatic pistol at passersby, killing 18-year-old Reese Fallon and 10-year-old Julianna Kozis, and wounding 13 others.
The crime gun was legally purchased from a Saskatchewan retailer and was later stolen. Police chiefs responded to the Danforth tragedy by reporting that gun crimes committed with lawfully purchased imported guns were on the rise across the country. (Canada makes few guns.)
It might come as a surprise that Canada, and not a conflict region, is the biggest per capita buyer of imported U.S. guns.
OMG! There are legal gun owners in Canada and they have “Assault Pistols.”
