Senate passes contentious handgun ban Bill C-21 without amendmentsThe Liberals’ controversial Bill C-21, which cements a handgun ban and expands authority to seize firearms from licensed gun owners believed to pose a risk to others, passed in the Senate on Thursday without changes and became law on Friday. Bill C-21 includes plans to make stricter gun laws to include “red flag” and “yellow flag” provisions about gun owners who may pose a risk to themselves or others. Other changes that will affect gun owners under the new legislation will be a prospective Criminal Code “technical definition” of what constitutes a prohibited assault-style firearm so that a permanent ban on future models will be cemented into law once the bill comes into effect. Firearms advocates say they are “deeply disappointed” by the bill. “The most egregious part of this deeply flawed bill is the position police will be put in upon the death of every legal handgun owner. Imagine attending the homes of grieving widows and children to confiscate and destroy property that meant a lot to the people who owned them, and who’ve done nothing to warrant this,” said a statement from the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights. “If only this much effort and vigor was applied to the misuse of illicit guns by violent, repeat offenders.” The CCFR said the Liberals are focused on the “wrong target.” |

Kingsville, Ont. Gun Owners Defend Their Gun Range & WinWatch law-abiding gun owner Scott Giles, and his local firearms community, come out and show Canadians (and his local government) exactly how it's done, in Kingsville, Ontario. This was in response to a single unprovoked motion, by Councillor Sheri Lowrie, that attempted to further restrict / regulate their local gun range. A range that had safely operated without issue, for a decade. |

Liberal gun bill passes Senate, but experts say it won't stop gun crime“It’s been the goal of this government all along to target licensed sport shooters and hunters,” said Tracey Wilson, spokesperson for the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR). “Our goal is to have this bill repealed, and have the focus return to combating crime, violence and gun smuggling.” While the bill was touted as a means to tackle gun crime, concerns were raised by scholars and police officials that most crime guns found on Canadian streets are smuggled in from the United States — and in many cases, are firearms illegal to own in Canada. Testifying before the House public safety committee during C-21 deliberations, Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw said 86 per cent of crime guns in the city in 2021 were smuggled from the United States — a trend on the increase since 2019, he said. Describing C-21’s passage as a “solid victory for public safety,” gun control advocacy group PolySeSouvient praised the Trudeau Liberals but maintained that much of the bill’s public safety impact is linked to the strength of its regulations. “Bill C-21 contains solid measures to better protect victims of domestic abuse from gun threats and violence thanks to a series of measures related to this oft-neglected aspect of gun control,” said spokesperson Nathalie Provost. “These measures represent concrete and effective progress and will saves many lives, in particular due to the new automatic prohibition preventing an individual who is subject to a protection order from owning guns.” |

Police release new photos after multiple shots fired into Kitchener crowdWaterloo regional police are investigating a shooting in a Kitchener neighbourhood that sent one person to hospital. Callers said multiple gun shots were fired into a crowd gathered in a parking lot at the intersection of Weber Street East and Kinzie Avenue around 2:25 a.m. Saturday. One person, a 24-year-old woman, was shot and taken to a hospital outside the region. Police said her injury was non-life-threatening. “Investigators do believe this incident was targeted and there is no ongoing concern for public safety at this time,” said Const. Melissa Quarrie. Police were on scene in the Centreville neighbourhood into Saturday afternoon. “There’s an increased police presence in the area still as we conduct a canvas for investigative information, as well as to gather any video of the incident,” Quarrie said. Saturday’s shooting is the 16th in Waterloo Region this year. The violent incident has rattled some Centreville residents. “It makes me very, very nervous, being in this area,” explained Laura. “There’s been way more shootings [and] stabbings, the traffic takedowns with guns and drugs are becoming more and more [frequent] in the last 25 years.” She has concerns about the safety of the area, especially when out alone. “Even just coming out after dark, like walking over to Zehrs or Dollarama. I won’t do it, and it’s sad that I have to feel this way,” Laura said. |
