What's Wrong With Canadians?

Not you.

You understand that reducing sentences for violent criminal offences and gun smuggling doesn't stop violent criminals or prevent gang shootings.

You comprehend that pointless gestures like Justin Trudeau's bans on firearms owned by licensed firearms owners is beyond useless at stopping drug-fueled, gang-related shootings.

You know that gang violence will never be stopped no matter how many rifles or shotguns Trudeau confiscates from hunters, farmers and sport shooters.

We're talking about the rest of our country-men and -women who don’t know anything about guns or the hoops we all jump through so politicians can pander to their irrational fear.

Those Canadians don’t know (or care) at all about our long-standing culture of safety or our nearly unblemished safety record at shooting clubs and ranges all across Canada.

All they know is they are afraid.

Because they’re so afraid, they willingly and blindly believe the first politician who says he (or she) can take away their fear.

That lying politician points the finger at us, calls us names and says we’re the reason drug dealers and gangs shoot up our cities with shocking regularity.

They believe the lying and unprincipled politician, so those Canadians dump all their fear, all their paranoia, and all their ignorance on our shoulders, and blame us for every ounce of it.

Opportunistic politicians like Justin Trudeau and his cabinet of virtue-signalling, do-nothing, do-gooders are thrilled to pander to their ignorance and their fear and happily make promise after unfulfilled promise.

And our uninformed and fear-filled fellow Canadians fall for it every single time.

All we ever wanted was to be left alone.

A whole branch of the CSSA exists because generations of ignoramuses like Justin Trudeau, Marco Mendicino, Bill Blair and the rest of his sociopathic government monsters (ministers) kept telling the generations of uninformed and fear-filled Canadians that they would solve all of their problems and take away all their fear and uncertainty.

Those opportunistic and agenda-driven politicians passed law after useless law down through the decades, knowing they will never stop the violence.

How could they possibly?

Every one of their useless restrictions and their even more useless laws are pointed at the most law-abiding segment of Canadians possible – federally-licensed RCMP-vetted firearm owners. Statistics Canada data shows we’re far safer than serving police officers.

But nobody wants to hear facts.

So we, being good citizens and good neighbours, jumped through ever more and ever higher hoops while the real problem – the gang thugs who murdered 17-year-old Jonathan Davis[i] in 2019 or the gang thugs who gunned down a grade 10 student[ii] at Weston Collegiate Institute in Toronto – is repeatedly ignored by every level of government.

Lip service is paid to "stopping the flow of illegal guns" but the border is as porous as it ever was, and the political class steadfastly refuses to do anything about the epidemic of criminals already saddled with Firearms Prohibition Orders who are released (or never serve a day in prison to begin with) only to get their hands on more illegal guns so they can shoot up our cities, our towns and our villages, and kill more Canadians every week.

And every time another drug or gang thug shoots another innocent Canadian, politically opportunistic lying politicians like Justin Trudeau and his merry band of virtue signallers point their deceitful fingers at us as they pass another useless regulation, another Order in Council or another law (sometimes all three) that will NEVER stop drug dealers and gangs from committing their violence.

All so they can reassure the uninformed and fearful Canadians who Trudeau counts on for votes because he knows it works.

All governments at all levels love to be "seen to be doing something" about drug- and gang-fueled violence, but the politician willing to stand up to the stupidity of our Liberal government's irrational and useless policies are truly few and far between.

RE: They wont continue like this...

As much as the liberal party squawks and puffs its chest that municipalities are going to follow through and support this confiscation, just remember they said that about the amendment & municipal firearms ban too.... In my opinion, it is far from it actually coming to fruition. But I keep that one to myself so the momentum keeps moving in favour of sensible laws, not in favour of criminals... 

For one, they just had a last-minute amendment fail so he's embarrassed. What is the first thing an embarrassed person looks to do? Something so great that the humility doesn't mean or weigh out to anything anymore.. and that for this party that simply is removing guns from law-abiding citizens.. But I can guarantee it won't be the RCMP or a gun store coming to collect them (Willingly)... They are not that silly to do this. The RCMP are already going through the wringer on the heels of public trust... But I won't hesitate to think the liberal party will pull another emergency act if anyone gets in his way of doing so because now that he can justify using it from what happened in Ottawa, I don't see any reason they wouldn't because all it will take is one bad media image of a guy not wanting to give up his legal firearm then all the liberal party has to say now is "they have guns and its a matter of public safety and they are not willing to give them up so they are terrorists..." And poof all common sense will fly out the window.. and unfortunately due to the forceful hand of the institution it would force the police to comply (as we also saw in Ottawa) .. that is the only way both organizations will get what they want. RCMP to be left out of the issue and seem like they were forced. And the liberals get their gun confiscation and finally complete one promise they made since taking office..  

I can't see anything else but a private or new "Unit" being created specifically for this. But I still am concerned about the 1/2 million the government is handing out to the municipalities, because let's be honest 1/2 million won't even build a residential house these days.. What are they planning to do with that money? Sounds like classic Justin Trudeau Tit for Tat to me..

If you're injured by someone else using a firearm or bow, we'll provide you access to a lawyer and cover legal costs.

Extension to Bows
Your coverage now extends to bows, including crossbows, recurve, compound and longbows.

You are not required to disclose any information about firearms in your possession.

Firearm Legal Defence insurance covers:
  • Defence from prosecution should you be charged with an offence arising out of the use, storage, display, transportation or handling of a firearm;
  • Cases where a firearm is used in self-defence, the defence of a person under your protection or the defence of your property;
  • Appealing an event where a licensing, regulatory or judicial authority refuses to renew, suspends, revokes, cancels or alters the terms of your firearms licence. Note that this provision does not apply to new licence applications.

Firearm Legal Defence pays for:
  • The cost of retaining a lawyer or other appointed representative, including court fees, experts; fees, police reports and medical reports;
  • Costs awarded by the court to opponents in civil cases if the insured person has been ordered to pay them, or pays them with the agreement of the insurance company;
  • Lost salary or wages for the time the insured is off work to attend court or any other hearing at the request of the appointed representative, up to a maximum of $500 per day and $10,000 in total.
