HISTORY'S BIGGEST CRACKDOWN ON HONEST CITIZENS

Important Context

The Liberal Party of Canada's criminalization of hundreds of thousands of government-licensed firearm owners is the BIGGEST CRACKDOWN against honest citizens by any democracy in history ... outside of war.

[Tracey Wilson @TWilsonOttawa]

Seems about right …

Quick Test to Identify Citizens Vs. Subjects and Slaves

Ask: Are you allowed to own and carry weapons?

✅ If YES
- Probably a citizen.

❌ If NO
- Probably a subject or a slave.

It's time to act Premier Doug Ford!

Poll: Ontarians want Doug Ford to block Ottawa's gun confiscation.

According to new Leger polling, among those with an opinion, 56 per cent of Ontarians want Ford to pass legislation to block the gun grab.

Alberta and Saskatchewan already did it. It's time for Ford to follow suit.

We were honoured to be invited by Blaine Calkins ( @BlaineFCalkins ) to this year's Conservative Hunting and Angling Caucus in Ottawa. The NFA was represented by Directors Tom Mavin ( @Feral999 ) and Nathaniel Milljour.

It was encouraging to see Laila Goodridge ( @LailaGoodridge ), Alex Ruff ( @AlexRuff17 ), Jeff Kibble ( @JeffKibbleCML ), Lianne Rood ( @Lianne_Rood ), Dave Epp ( @daveeppckl ), Jason Groleau ( @GroleauJas489 ), Chris Lewis ( @ChrisLewisEssex ), Mel Arnold ( @mel4mp ) and Rhonda Kirkland ( @rhondaforoshawa ) taking a genuine and thoughtful interest in the state of conservation in Canada.

As expected, the Liberal government's firearms confiscation program came up repeatedly throughout the discussions. What became clear is that the government's continued claim that hunters are not being affected simply does not match the reality being experienced by Canadians across the country.

Hunting firearms are being caught up in these prohibitions, and the consequences are being felt throughout hunting culture, rural communities, conservation efforts, the sporting community, and the industry that supports them.

The evidence is mounting, and the government's talking points are becoming increasingly difficult to defend.

They’ll never be done. All the more reason why we will never give up

Liberals Still Working to Expand Rifle Prohibition and Confiscation Via "Classification"

Published online yesterday:

"Briefing Note: Firearms Classification Review - Selection of Members for the Firearms Classification Technical Advisory Group"

How many "Good Guys" in Canada are ready and able to shoot back?

(Ideally, 100%. In reality, close to 0%.)

Bishnoi extortion gang sent letter to Canadian police boasting it had 1,000 foot soldiers willing to carry out shootings. https://t.co/KPtGoFcYy7

[Canada's National Firearms Association @CanadasNFA]

When @KellyDeRidderMP of Kitchener Centre asked how much taxpayer money was being directed to police services to help facilitate the Liberal firearms confiscation program ( on April 9th ), the government declined to provide a direct answer, instead pointing to federal grants and contributions listings tied to the Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program ( on May 27th... Source: https://t.co/d5qZVQYsQG ).

Those listings show nearly $18 million already committed to just five police services - Waterloo, Quebec, Halifax, Cape Breton, and Winnipeg — for the planning, coordination, administration, and oversight of firearm collection from licensed owners. The figure does not include additional RCMP costs, which Canadians will also be expected to cover. ( Source: https://t.co/JwLOmUFNXy... )

We, of course, strongly condemn this wasteful and theatrical program as well as the continued waste of taxpayer dollars on policies that target lawful firearms owners while doing nothing to address violent crime or improve public safety.

Canadians deserve transparency, accountability, and policies focused on criminals - not millions spent building the bureaucracy behind a confiscation scheme that increasingly appears disconnected from reality.

Quote from Tom Mavin ( @Feral999 ), Ontario Director, Government Relations and Lobbyist of Canada's National Firearms Association.

[CCFR/CCDAF @CCFR_CCDAF]

Ontario has joined Alberta and Saskatchewan in the @CCFR_CCDAF’s legal challenge of the feds sweeping gun bans. Solicitor General @TeamKerzner slammed the ‘buyback’ saying it “has done nothing to address the root causes of gun violence in our communities.” https://t.co/dhtGTGqwrn

[Tom Mavin @Feral999]

In Ontario, MPP Bobbi Ann Brady has introduced a petition calling on the Ford government to implement the same protections for lawful firearm owners that Alberta and Saskatchewan have already enacted. Premier Doug Ford has made strong public statements in support of firearm owners, but now is the time for meaningful action and concrete legislation, not just words. @CanadasNFA @MppAnn84182 @fordnation

Saw the US version on here. Decided to make a Canadian version. What did I miss?

[Calibre @Calibremag]

Yesterday, I was woken up by my neighbour calling at 6 am to say that the $26K air compressor I'd rented to do this job had been stolen off the back of my truck.

I canvassed my neighbourhood for camera footage, and found their egress route from my neighbourhood. I used social media to discover that the vehicle used had been stolen earlier that night from an Uber Eats driver in a nearby area, and contacted him to confirm it was the same car. I spoke to various equipment rental people to see if there were any popular areas for things like this to appear.

By 8 pm, I'd taken my compressor back, located the stolen car, confronted the thief and impressed upon him the importance of staying away from my neighbourhood, and all it cost me is a left hand that's swollen a bit today, and some minor cuts on my arms.

You can just do things.

The jackwagons determining what we get to possess after jumping through all the hoops and being cleared by the RCMP to own our property will call them 'sniper rifles' anyway. 🙄

POLITICS 101

- The Liberals fabricate a narrative to demonize and criminalize honest men and women.
- They create policies that are dangerous, abusive and wasteful, while they pretend to do good.
- Most mass media push the Liberal narrative.

You think this applies only to guns?

"Banning [legal] guns because there's gun crime, is like getting a vasectomy because your neighbours have too many children."

Firearms Commissioner Blaine Beaven on the Liberal government's failed gun grab, and where he feels Mark Carney should focus, instead. 🌾🇨🇦
