It's my aim to expose the lies, controversy, and legal conundrums surrounding the Gun Control Conversation

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

I'm not saying there is no value to independents. I'm saying the riding didn't vote for an independent.

If someone wants to sit as an independent, they should have to win an election as an independent. Same as they would if they wanted to sit as a conservative or Liberal or NDP or any other party.

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

is there a meaningful difference between floor crossing and sitting as independent? Constituents didn't vote for an independent any more than they did a floor crosser.

[Don Davies @DonDavies]

Today I introduced legislation to ban floor crossing without voter consent. When MPs switch parties after an election, they override the will of the people and erode trust. My bill restores accountability: if you want to change parties, face your constituents and let them decide.

We Aren't the Problem 🇨🇦
• < 1% of crime victims injured with a gun
• 95%+ of guns used in homicide are illegal
• Knives used as often as guns in homicides (97-2020)
• 2/3 of homicide accused known to police
• Gun owners 3x less likely to commit homicide than other Canadians

“I think it sends a very loud and clear message to Mark Carney’s government that Ontario stands with their citizens and not with the feds on this issue,” Wilson said Tuesday 🇨🇦 @CCFR_CCDAF

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

@OrcainbcB @CCFR_CCDAF @TeamKerzner @markramzyy @TorontoStar So I'm not allowed to own firearms unless I intend to kill people with them? Feels like the exact opposite of responsible firearms ownership if you ask me.

Shouldn't the goal of gun control be less killing and not more?

[Tablesalt 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Tablesalt13]

BREAKING: Google has said it will REFUSE to comply with Carney's Surveillance Bill C-22, by refusing to provide encryption keys to CSIS and the RCMP.

"If we say a product is end-to-end encrypted, it is end-to-end encrypted."

HELL YEA BOYS! .....LFG!!

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

Which problem? The gaslighting problem? The government tyranny problem? The courts/constitution not stopping the government tyranny problem? The fact that the ESP's actually have the ability to do what the government is requesting? The policing and prosecution problems that the government claims they're trying to fix with C-22?

There are a great many levels to 'the problem' with C-22 and/or the Canadian government - that was hardly an exhaustive list. Please be more specific.

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

C-22 does not create new surveilance powers, all it does is require electronic service providers to track and record every single thing you do so that the this information can be readily available to the government if they need it. Don't worry though that's totally different from suveilance.

Govt out here telling us they're not going to do the thing while simultaneously telling us the bill is actively and purposefully designed to do the thing.

Gaslighting at its finest.

[Public Safety Canada @Safety_Canada]

(1/2) Part 2 of Bill C-22 does not create new authorities, such as surveillance powers, for law enforcement and CSIS. It ensures that electronic service providers are able to respond to lawful access requests from law enforcement and CSIS.

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

@IanRunkle I mean... what did you think they meant when they promised to clean up our streets and keep people safe?

For real though. They've been promising 1k new officers for several years at this point. Annnnnny minute now...

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

Nothing is in the pipeline on that front so far as I'm aware.

And yes, in the last year or so he has been much more supportive of our community. Really, it was only once Trudeau's popularity began to wane did he change his tune on firearms and self defence and so forth. He has not always been this way, at least not from where I'm sitting.

Ontario has applied as an intervener in the CCFR's court case heading to the Supreme Court in regards to the gun ban. That's not meaningless, but it's also entirely possible the SCC shoots us down anyway. There are more concrete things he could/should be doing if he's going so far as to openly encourage noncompliance.

Who knows. Maybe this is the opening move on that gambit.

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

@junebugspitfire @Calibremag indeed

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

@1CanadianPilot I am aware

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

I mean... it's something. But Why doesn't Ford do anything to actually help? Just a little over a year ago he said "I'd rather keep guns out of our communities" (talking about lawful gun owners in the context of self/home defence). Sounds like he's only in our corner when it's convenient.

It's great that he, for the time being, appears to support lawful gun owners, but why does he expect gun owners to do this alone? "don't ever give em away" when he has no skin in the game and isn't lifting a finger to help feels a lot more like hanging us out to dry. That's not enough when the feds plan to criminalize almost a million innocent Canadians in 5 months time.

Ford's gotta step up. Lipservice ain't gonna cut it this late in the game imo. He's gotta run interference. Introduce and pass some legislation similar to what SK and AB have been doing. Make a stand.

Anything else is just empty words.

[Calibre @Calibremag]

Damn, bro.

Randomly going back to the mic on an unrelated question to also say, "gun owners, protect your guns. Simple as that. Don’t ever give them away," while standing like three feet from one of the Liberal cabinet's gun ban champions?

You gotta love it.

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

Of course. That's not nothing. Perhaps the term "anything" is a bit unfair in the post.

But from my perspective, ford has been very wishy-washy on this. As he is on many other topics. In the last year he has come out more vocally in support of gun owners, which is very good, but that's mostly only in comparison to his behavior and rhetoric in years past where he was singing a very different tune.

I guess my frustration is that he's encouraging Canadians to stick their neck out on this even when he won't stick his own neck out on this. I'm very much a believer in your SCC case, but there's every possibility that even with the help of Ontario, the SCC might shoot you/our community down.

There are far more concrete things he could be doing, or at least pursuing, if he really truly supported our community. SK/AB is standing shoulder to shoulder with our community. Ford is currently cheering from the bleachers (which is not "nothing" I suppose). So for me, his words feel cheap and hollow.

Or maybe I'm just hungry and should eat a snickers. idk.

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

@Dicky_Paul_95 @Polysesouvient @rcmpgrcpolice @TheSpec @DanforthFSC Remington 870? That's 'designed for law enforcement'! Why would any civilian need a 'cop-style firearm'?

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

@Polysesouvient @rcmpgrcpolice @TheSpec @DanforthFSC If the only take-away you're looking for here is the model of firearm used, then you're wholly disinterested in having an 'informed debate'.

[SoapBoxGuns @SoapBoxGuns]

@CCFR_CCDAF @douglasdowney Poor Eichenberg left out in the cold =(

[CCFR/CCDAF @CCFR_CCDAF]

#BREAKING: Attorney General for the Ontario Government, @DouglasDowney, has asked to INTERVENE on CCFR's behalf at the Supreme Court of Canada. 🇨🇦

🚨 CBC Buried Footage🚨

Forgotten segment from Rick Mercer on CBC calling out government spying on Canadians?

I wonder where that energy is now for Bill C-22?

Don't we need CBC like this? What happened?
🤷‍♂️
