'The costs have ballooned': Liberal government failed to anticipate difficulty of gun 'buyback,' association says

OTTAWA — The organization tasked with helping retailers navigate the Trudeau Liberals’ mandatory gun “buyback” says the government has bitten off far more than it can chew and is now discovering the difficulty with the sheer volume of items it may have to expropriate.

Wes Winkel, president of the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA), said the government apparently didn’t anticipate that its ban on “assault-style” firearms involved a massive number of parts and accessories that could be captured by the buyback’s planned expropriation, which will require gun owners and retailers holding inventory of those items to be compensated.

That’s because “assault-style” guns are often built by retailers, and owners, using any number of hundreds of different components.

“It’s so easy to say ‘this is illegal and we’ll buy it back,’ but they took a category of firearms which is so modular in nature,” Winkel said. Different parts can be fastened to different weapons that then fall into the assault-style category, in other words. “It’s a bit like the ‘Mr. Potato Head’ of guns,” he said.

When Doctors Mislead the Public on Guns

A group of radical anti-gun doctors published a report in 2017 claiming that “a child is injured with a firearm everyday in Ontario.” Upon further inspection, it was revealed that (1) subjects used in the study were as old as twenty-four (24), and (2) a large portion of data included injuries from gang activity and toy guns (incl. Paintball, BB/Pellet guns).

Why would doctors use their profession to mislead Canadians?

Saskatchewan has just expanded its provincial firearms office, putting public safety and protecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners front and centre as the federal government continues to curtail lawful gun ownership in this country.

Saskatchewan's approach has been celebrated by firearms advocates – Andrew welcomes to the show the province's firearms commissioner, Robert Freberg, and chief firearms officer, Murray Cowan, to explain why.

Rural NDP-Liberals Continue Attack on Gun Owners

After announcing he was leaving politics last week, disgraced NDP MP Charlie Angus took more unfounded, 'American-style,' shots at Conservatives while Liberals cheered him on. That included Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc who promptly took the opportunity to further deny his governments attack on law-abiding gun owners, while immediately calling legally owned sporting rifles, 'guns designed to kill people on the battlefield.'

Charges Laid: B.C. man charged with firearm trafficking, 17 other offences

A B.C. man is facing more than a dozen firearm and weapon-related charges after an investigation by the Canada Border Services Agency.

On March 16, 2023, CBSA investigators with assistance from the RCMP Integrated Emergency Response Team executed a search warrant at the Delta home of 41-year-old Bryce Cameron McDonald in relation to an investigation into the improper importation of firearm parts that began in April of 2022.

According to a CBSA press release, McDonald was arrested at the time the warrant was executed last year and released pending further investigation.

During their search of the property, authorities seized a number of prohibited items including five guns, eight over-capacity magazines, two auto sears (a device police say is used to convert pistols into fully-automatic firearms) and one brass knuckle knife.

Nearly a year later, on March 12, 2024, McDonald was charged with one count of firearm trafficking, five counts of possession of a firearm without a licence, two counts of possession of a prohibited device without a licence, one count of possession of a prohibited weapon without a licence, five counts of possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order, two counts of possession of a prohibited device contrary to a prohibition order, one count of possession of ammunition contrary to a prohibition order, and one count of possession of a prohibited weapon contrary to a prohibition order.

McDonald was arrested two days later on March 14 and has since been granted bail. His next scheduled court appearance is on April 12.

“The Canada Border Services Agency Criminal Investigations Section in Vancouver has worked tirelessly to investigate this case and bring forward the 18 criminal charges announced today,” Nina Patel, CBSA’s regional director general for the Pacific region, said in an April 9 press release.

“Their work has removed prohibited firearms and parts from our streets and is helping to combat violent crime in our communities.”

EDITORIAL: Canada should introduce a Northern harvesting benefit

You wouldn’t know it from listening to them complain, but farmers, for example, can claim a chunk of their fuel costs. Why not hunters in a prescribed zone? They’re basically doing the same thing, i.e. feeding the community. Most, if not all, hunters we profile in Inuvik Drum share their harvest with those unable to hunt on their own — this is not a selfish act of machismo or sport, this is a public service.

Canada should introduce a Northern harvesting benefit and allow hunters and gatherers to recoup their expenses. With climate change disrupting supply chains and driving up the cost of living, which is further amplified by our infrastructure deficit here in the North, maintaining the status quo is becoming increasingly difficult. Presenting Northerners with an additional way to continue their lifestyle without breaking the bank would have far-reaching benefits.

One of the biggest benefits is that it would help keep people hunting. Making harvesting expeditions more affordable means more people will go on them, which means more young people on the land instead of on the streets. That translates into greater food security for communities, especially if they can reinvest the saved income into other infrastructure. It could also help counter the trend of addictions in the North by giving more opportunities for young Northerners to connect with their culture and learning a valuable skill to help them contribute to their community...
