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.

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.

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.”

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.

Trudeau government sets sights on legal gunowners—while ignoring criminals

Trudeau government sets sights on legal gunowners—while ignoring criminals

Last week, the Trudeau government introduced Bill C-21, which would dramatically expand police powers in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau claims the legislation will combat gun violence and keep communities safe, but none of the bill’s provisions directly address gun violence or violent crime.

Instead, the bill demonizes legal firearms owners, who are not the problem, invents a variety of new administrative crimes and creates a “red flag” law that allows police to search and seize property (with a court order) on the grounds that a potentially dangerous individual has a firearm. Of course, the “red flag” provision is not new. Such a provision already exists and has for 20 years. Concerned individuals can dial 911 or medical doctors can call the Chief Firearms Officer.

Biden Gun Control Plan Would ‘Criminalize’ up to 105 Million People: Gun-rights Group

Biden Gun Control Plan Would ‘Criminalize’ up to 105 Million People: Gun-rights Group

A gun-rights organization said that President Joe Biden’s gun control proposal would potentially make about 105 million law-abiding gun owners into criminals.

“While we can agree that there are several ‘common sense’ and long overdue changes needed to our nation’s gun laws, we firmly believe that the path forward should be focused on supporting and protecting responsible, law-abiding Americans—not criminalizing and punishing them,” the U.S. Concealed Carry Association said in a letter to Biden this week.
