Liberal Government Admits Bill C-21 Amendment Bans Hunting Rifles and Shotguns

It comes as no surprise that, despite all its claims to the contrary, the Liberal government’s November 4, 2022, amendments to Bill C-21 will ban a wide swath of hunting rifles and shotguns.

Prime Minister Trudeau labelled this indisputable fact as “misinformation” when confronted.

Trudeau and his cabinet continue to peddle this “misinformation” even after the government’s own briefing note confirmed it.[i]

“We recognize the proposed changes may reduce the number of firearms some hunters use today,” Liberal staffers wrote in the December 13, 2022, briefing note titled Comprehensive Prohibition Of Assault Style Firearms.

“I don’t see this particular measure [freeze on handgun sales] as having a quick impact, simply because those are not the guns we’re seeing involved in those types of incidents,” said Calgary Police Chief Mark Neufeld.[ii]

Liberal MP Pam Damoff parroted the Liberal Party lie in committee, stating: “We will not be banning any guns that are commonly used for hunting.”[iii]

NDP MP Taylor Bachrach responded to Ms. Damoff’s lies with contempt.[iv]

“We are not going to clean up the mess the Liberals have made of this bill, and people feel hoodwinked by these last-minute amendments. This was meant to be a bill about limiting handguns and protecting victims of domestic violence, but now the Liberals are going after the tools that my neighbours use for hunting, predator control and backcountry safety. When is the Prime Minister going to realize the mistake he has made, fix this mess and back up the bus?”

So far, the only answer from the Prime Minister’s Office is to send Marco Mendicino on a nation-wide propaganda tour.

Last week alone, Minister Mendicino trotted out five funding announcements totalling $11.4 million for “prevention programs” to London[v], ON; Whitehorse[vi], YK; Burnaby[vii], North Vancouver[viii] and Richmond[ix], BC.

The government’s press releases state this funding “will help address the underlying conditions that give rise to crime.”

Whitehorse Mayor Laura Cabott is ecstatic about the federal cash flowing into her city, even though she has no idea what she will spend it on.

“We’re going to start off just doing some engagement and trying to determine how best we would use that money,” Mayor Laura Cabott told the Whitehorse Star.[x]

These announcements are designed to take the heat off the Liberal government’s plan to ban hunting rifles and shotguns through its atrocious amendment to Bill C-21.

Justin Trudeau, Marco Mendicino and the rest of this corrupt Liberal government believe they can wash away all the negative publicity surrounding their ban of hunting rifles and shotguns with buckets of borrowed cash.

There will always be municipal politicians willing to peddle the government’s lies for 30 pieces of silver and a psychopathic media that dutifully repeats those Liberal lies.

Our duty remains the same.

We stand for the truth about guns and gun owners.

We continue to defend gun owners and their property through effective political action and legal measures like our lawsuit against the federal government for its handgun sales freeze.

RE: Recent Survey

Your survey asks if we think police will come to our residence to confiscate our legally owned guns. Trudeau is already allowing the Chinese to set up police stations in Canada under the guise of assisting them watching Chinese Nationals in Canada. These are the police they may use. The other force is the U.N. soldiers entering Canada as immigrants that will be amassed for that very purpose. If they use either of these groups, I feel the non-violent approach will be replaced with full armed response since these mercenaries will show no respect or empathy.

RE: Experienced

Good morning,

Having read your article regarding on what to do if the police show up at your door, you missed the most important information.

As this happened to me approximately 7 years ago, when the Officers knocked at my door and told me that they wanted to talk to me, I politely asked them if I was under arrest.

At that point the Officers told me I was not. I then asked them to leave my property and closed the door.

That was the last of the interaction.

To this day I still have no idea why they showed up, nor did I care.

They cannot enter your home without a warrant or cause.

The most important advice is not to get rattled and give them a reason to place you in custody.

Be polite, but be firm.

RE: Elephant in the room

Why all claptrap about Trudeau's gun grab being about public safety. It's not and never was about anyone's safety. No one else seems to be talking about the elephant in the room, so I will. It's all about the total disarmament of the Canadian citizens. Just as in 1936 Germany.....first they shut down free speech (C11), then they confiscate the guns (C21). Oh, that would never happen in modern society Canada today, you say???? Did you ever think you would see your federal government order militarized mounted horseman to trample over elderly women with walkers and others participating in peaceful protest? Neither did I. Think again.

RE: FedGov Gun Confiscations 

This commentary in the newsletter has some incomplete or poorly worded and therefore potentially pretty dangerous legal information in it. Under 3 Simple rules it seems to heavily imply that police can never enter your home without a warrant. This isn’t true. It lays out 2 options, for police who demand entry with a warrant it says to “peacefully comply” and for those without a warrant who demand entry it says to “deny them entry as is your right”. There are many cases where exigent circumstances require police to enter without a warrant against the wishes of the occupant. The Supreme Court case R. vs Godoy gets into a lot of that and is used as case law. It is absolutely your right to VERBALLY deny entry but to start anything physical or not “peaceful”, legally you would have to be sure that they have absolutely no justification to enter, and you have no practical way of knowing that at the door. Justification would include a 911 call you wouldn’t know was made by a bad actor such as a ‘Swatting’. Even if it turns out to be entirely unlawful entry, trying to physically stop police at the door could easily continue to escalate until you get arrested or even killed. The best thing to do is say if you consent or not, but comply peacefully and take it up in court later. As it says the police might not be there due to whatever confiscation scheme they come up with.
 
As a police officer I would probably book off in sick before I showed up at any law abiding gun owners house to confiscate their legally obtained private property. The whole thing disgusts me and MANY other officers I know. And many are dreading those knocks on our own doors. However police officers represent a spectrum of society and a few might agree with it, many don’t know enough to form and opinion, and sadly most will not want to disobey orders if it comes to losing their job and being unable to pay their mortgage. I truly hope that enough officers will refuse to crush the rights of Canadians, just as the police refused to enforce Doug Ford’s policy of stopping people randomly during covid lockdowns, demanding to know where they were headed, and arresting them if they refused to say or provide their name. He backtracked on that fast on that idea when the police spoke up.
 
Thanks,
 
Devon K.
