Marco Mendicino Ignores Violent Criminals, Targets Licensed Gun Owners Instead (Part 17)
We would love to announce Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino has done something right on the firearms file but, alas, all the evidence we find proves otherwise.
Despite our calls for it spanning many years, there is still no police agency in Canada tasked with making sure these violent criminals are obeying their court orders.
For example, since August 1, 2022, 40 violent repeat offenders, all arrested for committing other crimes, were also charged with 111 counts of breaching their Firearm Prohibition Orders.[i]
Marco Mendicino hasn’t lifted a finger to deal with our broken Firearm Prohibition Order System and these 40 criminals were only charged for breaching those court orders after they were arrested for committing a variety of other crimes.
Another 48 news reports since August 1, listed below, detail cases where one or more criminals are either wanted or were already arrested and charged for committing one or more criminal offences.
These criminals and their crimes are all but ignored by Marco Mendicino because he prefers to drop the full weight of his office on the heads of Canada’s most vetted citizens: Firearm Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) holders.
Not one PAL holder is found on the list of Firearm Prohibition Order repeat offenders mentioned above, nor are they found in the list of criminals below.
For reasons we cannot fathom, Minister Mendicino insists that preventing RCMP-vetted PAL holders from legally purchasing handguns will magically and miraculously stop drug dealers and career criminals from plying their evil trade.
It’s nonsense.
It’s stupid.
It’s an insane misuse of taxpayer dollars to ignore real, repeat violent offenders while pretending a “crackdown” on PAL holders will stop anyone from smuggling more illegal guns into our country or shooting up our cities and our citizens.
And what will Marco Mendicino do when he can no longer ignore those facts?
The same thing every moronic Liberal politician does when their firearm policy inevitably fails.
He will blame licensed gun owners again and slap even more restrictions on them.
He will continue to ignore the drug dealers, gang members and violent repeat offenders who shoot up our streets and harm innocent Canadians.
Mendicino was a federal Crown prosecutor for ten years. He knows full well this nonsense will not stop criminals.
He simply doesn’t care.
It’s Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government policy and nothing, not even the truth, can derail that train of fools.

Is the Liberal government's fixation with punishing lawful firearms owners psychotic?
|
|
Yes, they are totally obsessed psychos.

|
No, it's a precisely planned political tactic.

RESULTS FROM LAST WEEK'S SURVEY
|
|
What do you think would be a first big step towards making Canadians safer?
Focus on cross-border gun smuggling: 25.4%
Fix our broken Firearms Prohibition Order system: 16.6%
Go after violent drug dealers and gang members 56.7%
More gun control: 1.2%

Subject: What is next
Now that the Minister of Export & Import has done an end run by refusing to issue permits to import handguns, what is next? Banning the import of ammunition for handguns?
Once the fall session happens and the Liberal/NDP Government get their way, I can see this as their next step.
Also, I would like to suggest that everyone look up the statistics on Drunk Drivers in this Country regarding deaths and injuries they cause in any given year, month or week.
Remember when you look these stats up, the last reported number of deaths by guns in this County was 277 in one year.
We should be banning automobiles – not guns – by the numbers if the Government really wants to accomplish anything.
Too bad our Conservative representatives do not bring this up in the House of Commons.
Scott D.
The vilification of our community is truly reprehensible. Thanks for your thoughts.

Browning X-Bolt Micro-Midas Rifle |
|
Browning guns that bear the name "Micro Midas" combine compact size to match smaller shooters with deluxe features, creating a firearm that is both ornate and highly functional. The X-Bolt Micro Midas fits this criteria perfectly, whether it's a young hunter's first big game rifle or if it becomes of the go-to hunting rifle for a smaller framed adult.
Deluxe rifles, embellished with fine features, checkering and an extra touch of hi power class are not reserved for full-size models. Not in the Browning line. The superb, compact Micro Midas is designed to fit smaller-framed shooters like youth and women. The stock is shorter for fast shouldering and comfortable trigger reach. The 20" barrel balances well with the steel receiver and of course, this model has all the same features as the full-size model. Nothing is sacrificed because of its smaller dimensions.
Satin finish compact walnut stock features a 12-1/2" length of pull that offers an improved fit for many shooters * Steel action with non-reflective matte blued finish * Shortened sporter contour barrel for the ideal blend of accuracy and weight savings * Inflex Technology recoil pad
Thanks to our friends at Browning Canada, you can have a chance on this beauty today. Please make a $20 donation to the CSSA and we will give you a free chance to win this great gun. Better yet, we will give you THREE chances with a $50 donation and TEN for $100.
This great rifle will find a new home on September 1, 2022.
Help us continue to defend your sport, your guns, and your rights. Your generosity is most appreciated!
