Senate Call to Action

Bill C-21, Justin Trudeau’s attempt to rationalize confiscating rifles and stopping legal handgun sales, passed first and second readings in the Senate, but it still hasn’t been referred to committee.

This gives us another opportunity to reach out to provincial senators, as well as those on the Standing Senate Committee on National Security, Defence and Veterans Affairs (SECD), to voice our opposition to Bill C-21.

Four months ago, Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh conspired to shut down parliamentary debate on Bill C-21. They passed a motion requiring the House of Commons Committee on National Security and Public Safety (SECU) to ram the bill down Canadians’ throats in 48 hours or less.

The Conservative team on SECU, led by MP Raquel Dancho, CPC Shadow Minister for Public Safety, fought valiantly to improve Bill C-21, but every Conservative amendment was defeated by the Liberal/NDP coalition.

Bill C-21 then went to the Senate, where Justin Trudeau “encouraged” senators to rubber-stamp it into law before Summer Recess.

That didn’t happen.

With both Parliament and the Senate back in session this fall, Bill C-21 sits dormant, as more pressing issues appear to take centre stage.

We can’t count on all of Justin Trudeau’s self-inflicted wounds to derail this horrible bill.

Yes, his own government’s gross missteps in recent months have distracted Trudeau from his assault on Canada’s safest citizens, but that won’t last.

Bill C-21 was never about “keeping Canadians safe” from violent criminals.

Neither Justin Trudeau nor Jagmeet Singh care about stopping violent, repeat offenders from maiming or killing ordinary Canadians.

If they did, they would listen to firearm owners, hunters, sport shooters and police officers. They would adopt measures to focus Bill C-21 on criminals instead of RCMP-vetted and federally-licensed firearm owners.

The Liberal/NDP coalition doesn’t care about preventing domestic violence or keeping women safe when leaving abusive relationships.

If they did, they would listen to the many voices at committee who expressed their opposition to Bill C-21’s proposed red- and yellow-flag laws.

Bill C-21 is horribly flawed, no matter what side of the debate you’re on. Advocates from all sides agree on this.

Yet Justin Trudeau and the lapdog keeping him in power, Jagmeet Singh, refuse to listen to any of them.

They think they know best, and will ram their absurd measures down our throats, no matter what anyone else thinks.

This means the Senate is our last hope to bring common sense back into this discussion.

All it takes for bad laws to pass is for good men and women to do nothing to stop them.

Remind your senators of this when you write them and ask for their help to stop Bill C-21.

If you’re not sure what to write, please use one of these template letters and modify it to reflect your natural way of speaking.

For even greater impact, take a few minutes to hand-write your letter to your Senators. Use the templates above as your starting point and make your appeal personal.

Our fate and the fate of the future of hunting and sport shooting is in our hands.

All we have to do is write one letter.

Please write your senator(s) as well as the members of the Senate’s SECD Committee and ask for their help to keep this terrible bill from becoming law.

Some day your grandchildren will thank you for this small act of courage taken today.
