In good times and bad, when life is great or the world has gone mad, you can always count on the usual suspects to scream for more “gun control.” Unfortunately, standard practice for groups decrying civilian firearm ownership like PolySeSouvient and its spokesperson Heidi Rathjen is to use every opportunity to scream, “The sky is falling and the only way to stop it is to ban guns!” Citing fears … [Read more...]
Guns Not So Easy to Obtain Legally, Canadians Discover
The COVID-19 crisis is giving many Canadians a rude awakening about just how hard it is to legally purchase a gun in Canada. Most are shocked to realize they must take and pass a government-mandated firearm safety course. They’re even more distressed to learn firearm safety courses are cancelled until at least mid-April, and probably longer. Even if you could convince someone to teach you the … [Read more...]

Zero Evidence to Defend Virtue-Signaling Gun Bans
Bill Blair, Minister of Public Safety, insists Canada must ban assault-style rifles like the AR-15 because “assault-style rifles are military weapons designed to hunt people, and not animals.” Prime Minister Trudeau says nobody needs a gun “designed to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time.” The Liberals are so driven in making Canadians afraid of law-abiding licensed … [Read more...]

Hunting Humans is Satire?
When is hunting humans okay? When Hollywood profits from it. When is hunting humans bad? When real life tragedies force Hollywood to cancel a movie’s release. The Hunt’s 2019 release date was cancelled two days after mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio and another in El Paso, Texas, in early August. It’s bad form to release a movie about hunting humans so soon after a couple of whack jobs did so … [Read more...]
95% of RCMP Negligent Discharges Occur During Low Stress Situations
RCMP members negligently discharged their service weapons 21 times in 2007 according to the response to an Access to Information Request received by firearm researcher Dennis Young.[i] Those 21 negligent discharges account for 37% of all RCMP's member-involved shootings.

Red Flag Law – Does Canada Already Have One or Not?
Does Canada already have a “red flag” law? Is there really a gap in Canada’s firearm licensing framework that leaves us vulnerable? Or are Canadian lobby groups and government politicians simply piggybacking an American political issue for their own gain? These are questions up for debate in the wake of the push for “red flag” legislation across the United States now being imported into … [Read more...]
Gun Confiscation: The Liberal Government’s Political Albatross
Its $2.7 billion price tag is what finally ended the Long Gun Registry, not it’s failure to improve public safety. Cost overruns will likewise end the Liberal government’s latest political albatross – its planned gun confiscations – but not before it wastes at least another $2-5 billion of your taxes. The Trudeau government is far more interested in virtue-signalling than it is in protecting … [Read more...]
