The problem with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s handgun freeze is that it won’t freeze guns smuggled illegally into Canada from the U.S. which account for 85% of all handguns used for criminal purposes.

CNN Hires Pro-Gun Rights Gutowski, Liberal Media FREAKS OUT and Smears
On Wednesday, CNN announced they’ve hired Pro-Second Amendment reporter, founder of The Reload, and MRC Bulldog Award winner Stephen Gutowski as an analyst, a move many see as a sign of new CNN boss Chris Licht’s commitment to a more moderate journalist product. But while the hire was celebrated on the right and among those who appreciate Gutowski’s work, there were portions of the liberal media that couldn’t handle the alternative perspective and lashed out, giving voice to nastiness.
WARMINGTON: Bullets fly in Toronto soon after Trudeau implements handgun freeze
These shooters must not have received the memo that handguns are now banned in Canada.
“SHOOTING: Ellesmere Rd + Dolly Varden Blvd 3:10pm,” Toronto Police Operations tweeted Friday. “Gunshots heard in the area – Police are on scene – Evidence of gunfire located – Vehicle located with bullet holes.”
People arming up to deal with violence…in San Francisco
The city of San Francisco is one of the most anti-gun cities on the planet. If they had their way, guns would be completely and totally outlawed within the city limits.
Actually, they’d be outlawed everywhere, but they can’t really make that call for everyone else.
Luckily, they can’t go that far. However, between the city itself and the state of California, getting a firearm lawfully isn’t easy.
Rifle used in recent police killings not on Canada’s list of banned firearms
The type of semi-automatic weapon used in the recent fatal shooting of two Ontario police officers was also used in a series of other deadly, high-profile gun attacks in Canada, including the 2018 Fredericton mass shootings and the murders committed by the B.C. manhunt suspects.
But the Russian-designed SKS rifle was not added to the federal government’s 2020 list of prohibited weapons, raising questions as to why it wasn’t included.
The Gun Grabbers will never stop.
Handguns in Canada – The Data
Is there a correlation between the increase in legal handgun ownership and homicide? A Review of the Data
Since 2003, Canada has kept accurate counts of the number of registered firearms, and handguns are all in the restricted and prohibited category.
As well since 2003, the number of restricted and prohibited firearms has doubled from 572,325 to 1,165,114 firearms, while the rate of homicide by handgun has remained relatively constant …

Courts Are Foiling Biden’s Trivial Attempt To Regulate ‘Ghost Guns’
President Joe Biden’s push to change the rules regarding “ghost guns” and put serial numbers on gun parts may be hitting a major roadblock. Relying on the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision in June, a West Virginia federal district court judge ruled on Thursday that it is unconstitutional to ban guns without serial numbers. That is hardly the end of the story, however, as federal judges in Texas and North Dakota seem to have no problem with requiring serial numbers.
The West Virginia judge, U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin, isn’t some wild-eyed Trump nominee. He was nominated by Democrat President Bill Clinton.
PA School District Places One Shotgun, One AR-15, in Every School
On Tuesday, Pennsylvania’s Pittston Area School District revealed it had placed one shotgun and one AR-15 in each of its schools for use by a resource officer in the event of an attack.
The Times Leader reported that news of the acquisition and placement of the firearms “was released during Tuesday’s regular monthly meeting.”
Canadians Skeptical That Handgun Freeze Will Reduce Crime: Privy Council Study
Many Canadians have doubts that a federal freeze on handguns would be effective in deterring firearms-related crimes, an in-house Privy Council study has found.
“Most were unsure as to the practicalities and realities of such a policy,” said the study titled “Continuous Qualitative Data Collection of Canadians’ Views,” which also said that “a large number expressed concerns about a potential freeze.”
Handgun freeze exemption should include wider range of sport shooters
OTTAWA – MPs are coming under pressure to broaden an exemption to a planned federal handgun freeze to include a wider range of sport shooters — an idea prominent firearm-control advocates firmly oppose.
In May, the Liberal government announced a plan to implement a freeze on importing, buying, selling or otherwise transferring handguns, in order to help quell firearm-related violence.
Toronto Star piece illustrates the march toward gun bans
Canada isn’t the United States. Because of how the laws work up that way, they can enact gun bans, something that really isn’t likely to hold up down this way.
Yet there are those who will continue to try and do just that.

Federal Freeze on Importing Firearms ‘Does Nothing’ to Slow Gun Crime: Toronto Police Association President
On the heels of the fatal shooting of two police officers in Innisfil, Ont., the president of the Toronto Police Association (TPA) says firearms trafficking and violence are increasing and Ottawa’s efforts to curb gun violence are missing the mark.
“The proliferation of firearms up here in Canada from the U.S.—it is out of control in my opinion,” Jon Reid told The Epoch Times.
Yukon Legislature Passes Motion to Oppose Using Police Force for Ottawa’s Gun Confiscation Program
The Yukon Legislative Assembly has adopted a motion to say that local RCMP resources shouldn’t be used for the federal government’s gun buyback program. The governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba have taken similar positions in recent weeks.
The motion was brought forward by Yukon Party Justice Critic Brad Cathers and passed with the support of the Yukon Party and the Yukon NDP MLAs. All Yukon Liberal MLAs, who formed a minority government in the territory after the 2021 election, voted against the motion.
Despite UK gun control laws, 3D-printed guns showing up
I’m not a gadget guy, for the most part, but I’m still blown away by 3D printing.
To me, the ability to render something in a computer and have it turned into something real and tangible with a device you bought from Amazon is beyond fascinating.
Unsurprisingly, this technology has been a boon to the Second Amendment. Now, people can produce their own firearms whenever they want and trust they’ll have the means to remain armed no matter what.
