@CoryBMorgan Gun control will never stop the hatred in an evil man’s heart.

The Trudeau-era gun “buyback” program is a fiscal misstep that Canada simply can’t afford. With a national deficit projected to hit $61.9 billion in 2025, diverting hundreds of millions—potentially billions—toward confiscating legally owned firearms from law-abiding citizens is, economically speaking, indefensible.

The program’s estimated $1.6B cost, which will almost certainly balloon like the failed gun registry of the mid-90's, siphons funds from critical priorities like healthcare, housing, infrastructure and public safety.

In addition, the program also fails at its goal: to increase public safety.

Since the first gun ban, issued by Trudeau's government via Order-in-Council in May of 2020, law enforcement and policy leaders from across the country have been clear: The data continues to show that legal gun bans have had no measurable effect to slow criminal gun violence. In fact, it's only gotten worse.
https://t.co/jBRJuq3sHq

Primarily, that's because 90%+ of firearms used in violent crimes in Canada are illegally smuggled into the country, not legally owned by Canadian citizens.

Firearms purchased in a gun 'buyback' program, aren't the guns being used in crime.

If the Mark Carney government is serious about being fiscally responsible, and a protector of the rights of law-abiding gun owners, it would be a pragmatic and prudent first step to scrap this ineffective and costly program.

If you agree, please share this post. #cdnpoli

@CoryBMorgan Where is the money going? 1.3 billion only goes so far for the one time payment. Where does the yearly payment go?

The current OIC and gun confiscation regime sets a dangerous legal precedent: it shows the gov’t can retroactively criminalize and seize lawfully acquired, regulated property—without full legislative process (aka parliament) or compensation.

Today it’s firearms, acquired legally and registered under a tightly regulated state-controlled system. Tomorrow, it could be your gas-powered vehicle—also registered, traceable, and increasingly targeted by radical environmental policy.

Once courts accept the precedent being set that law-abiding citizens can be stripped of their property simply because it’s reclassified as “undesirable” by the govt of the day, the same logic can be applied across other domains. Legal precedent doesn’t stay in its lane.

We’re not just talking about firearms anymore—we’re talking about any licensed, regulated asset that doesn’t fit their ideological mandate.

This isn’t just about confiscation. It’s about conditioning the public—and the courts—to accept it.

@Polysesouvient And your data is from where??

[Tracey Wilson @TWilsonOttawa]

Waiiitttttt!!! Wait a minute!!! After 9 years of gun control bills and bans against licensed, legal, RCMP vetted gun owners, the Liberal party finally admits we aren’t the problem and they should have targeted illicit smuggling instead??? 🇨🇦🤡🫠👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
