Liberals Ignore Illegal Guns in Their Fervour to Harass Licensed Gun Owners
[Version Française] Justin Trudeau and Bill Blair insist creating more laws for the lawless to ignore is the magical and miraculous path to their promised public safety utopia.

RCMP Secret Long Gun Registry: What We Always Knew vs. What We Can Now Prove
