The letter to Trudeau says the buyback must be mandatory to ensure the measure cannot be easily overturned by the Conservatives, should they form government, given the party’s opposition to the firearms ban.

New Zealand Crime Rates Spike Despite ‘Assault Weapon’ Ban
Gun-related crime is spiking in New Zealand a full two years after the country instituted a nationwide ban on most semi-automatic firearms. The Parliament rammed through the ban and buyback (confiscation) program in the wake of the 2019 Christchurch attack, but the laws have had no positive effect on gun-related crime.
Sticking to Your Guns
Justin Trudeau’s gun restrictions have had massive implications for Canadian gun owners and firearms businesses, but to the gun control lobby, they are a “dismal” effort that doesn’t go far enough. True North’s Andrew Lawton warns that the Liberals are going to side with gun alarmists over gun owners every time.
Also, the upcoming trials of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor prove Canada’s policy of appeasing China has accomplished nothing.
Opponents of gun control bill are denouncing Trudeau and no longer want him at Polytechnique commemorations
MONTREAL — Survivors, family members of the victims of the 1989 massacre at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal and current students are warning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that they will never again allow him to stand with them at the annual commemorations of the shooting if he allows his government’s proposed gun control bill C-21 to pass.
The dozens of signatories, including several family members of the 14 young women murdered on Dec. 6, 1989, write in a letter (posted below) to the prime minister that his dismal bill gives the appearance of fulfilling his election commitments, but does nothing to address them.
Interesting headline. Looks good on him.
Feds Confiscate Guns in Flathead Valley With 30 Vehicles, Three Tanks, and Helicopter
Heretofore ignored by the legacy press and mainstream media, in February, federal authorities invaded a neighborhood in the Flathead Valley with militarized police and terrorized its occupants with what appears to be Waco-level tyrannical overreach.
If President Biden Is In Charge, Why Would America Need A Gun Czar?
Congress is lining up behind billionaire-backed gun control groups demanding that President Joe Biden appoint a gun control czar to dictate to America just who, when, how and how much gun rights they can actually exercise.
It begs a question, though. Isn’t President Biden supposed to be in charge? If he is, then it should be his policies for which he needs to answer to the American public. If he needs to appoint a political appointee, why?
The entire notion opens up a can of worms that Democrats who signed onto a letter should answer to the American people. When did fundamental pre-existing rights, that are protected by the Constitution, become something that needed to be parceled out by a partisan bureaucrat?
“Shall not be infringed.”
House Passes Democrat Bill Criminalizing Private Gun Sales
H.R. 8 would expand retail point-of-sale background checks so as to cover private points-of-sale. This will criminalize an individual who sells a 5-shot revolver to a lifelong neighbor, unless that neighbor first undergoes a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check, conducted by the FBI.
The only way this can be enforced is with a National Gun Registry. So you know what’s next.
Clyburn Background Check Bill Would Allow FBI To Indefinitely Delay Firearm Transactions
Should the government be able to deny your right to obtain a firearm, simply by failing to complete a mandatory background check? Anti-gun Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) apparently thinks so.
On March 1st, Clyburn introduced H.R. 1446, the so-called “Enhanced Background Checks Act.” Under the bill, the FBI could indefinitely block federally licensed dealers (FFLs) from transferring firearms, simply by failing to provide decisions on the background checks FFLs are required to run on their customers.
Democrats To Push Extremist Gun Control Bills Today Without Even A Debate
Gun control groups are downright ecstatic with Congress’s opening salvo against law-abiding gun owners. It’s not because anything Congress is proposing would actually stop criminal misuse of firearms. It’s because, for them, it’s just the beginning.
Federal government unveils “assault-style” firearm buy-back program plans
Banff-Airdrie MP Blake Richards questioned the firearm buy-back program as it failed to not only take into account the perspective of rural residents, but also lacked clarity on the tangible safety it will provide and the full cost of the program.
“The idea that somehow taking guns out of the hands of law-abiding firearms owners will somehow make a difference in crime is absolutely a ludicrous suggestion to make,” Richards said. “Criminals are the ones that are using guns and crimes, they don’t obtain their guns legally— They smuggle them, they get them in other illegal fashions. This will do nothing to address crime.”
Breaking: Oklahoma Senate Advances Law That Would Nullify Biden’s Gun Control Executive Orders
Oklahoma’s Senate is slated to vote on a bill that would make the state a 2nd Amendment sanctuary. The bill would nullify Biden’s Executive Orders relating to firearms and ensure guns are a right in the state, as the Constitution says they are. The bill is titled the “Second Amendment Sanctuary State Act.”
New Gun Control Laws Proposed by Federal Liberals Receives Support of The Majority in BC (65%) and Alberta (63%), But Fewer (41%) Think It Will Be Effective in Reducing Gun Violence
Following the announcement last week by the federal Liberal Party about new gun control legislation and gun buyback program, a new Insights West poll has found that the majority of Western Canadian residents support the new legislation despite the fact that far fewer believe it will be effective in reducing gun violence in our country.
Virtue-signalling Liberals strike out on preventing violent crime
Violent crime is a serious problem. It requires serious solutions. Unfortunately, Canadians will not get them from our current government. In less than a year, the Trudeau government has taken three swings at violent crime and missed every time. Their “solutions” will cost billions and may increase Canadians’ exposure to violent crime.
BONOKOSKI: Trudeau government’s bogus tough on guns stance
Disguised as a way to hit back at “systemic racism in Canada,” the Trudeau Liberals are moving to repeal legislation regarding the implementation of mandatory minimum sentences.
The Liberals have a hate-on for this Stephen Harper law.
