Just another of the many reasons why NOT to vote Liberal. If one wants to live in a nanny state and have the government run all aspects of there lives, well then by all means feel free hop on a plane and move to China. Poor Canada.

On this edition of things we already knew.......

This is such a tired tactic. Stop focusing on smaller problems then lighting strikes and figure out how to fix the housing crisis and our broken Healthcare system.

They want people talking about gun bans because it distracts from the real failings of our governing bodies. Don't give them the satisfaction.

It makes little sense to do this. Law abiding gun owners are rarely responsible for gun relate crimes. Most of the illegal activity including guns is from illegally obtained guns, smuggled into our country. Tackle the smuggling issue or the 3D printing issue, but don’t punish the law abiding gun owner. This liberal rhetoric is baseless.

As I have stated before it is just a matter of time. I will now give a very close date. Assuming Ford gets re-elected which would give him a 5 year term or if he gets a minority government. Then we have 18 months to 5 years left before handguns are banned in Ontario. There is a 99 % chance I am right. I was right many years ago that even with the destruction of the gun registry that when the Liberals got in they would ban most semi auto's and I was correct.

Well the RCMP lied about destroying the registry too and the Libs celebrated. As bad as Ford is, the alternatives really are s***! Those high speed bolt, lever and pump will be next.

If you go back to when the registry was suppose to be destroyed, I had predicted that and was dead on in fact many on here claimed I was nuts. It would not have been hard to write a script to download the data any half assed programmer could have written a script in one day.

Well the RCMP lied about destroying the registry too and the Libs celebrated. As bad as Ford is, the alternatives really are s***!

Del Duca promises to ban all hand guns in Ontario. I wonder if that ban includes all leos in the province. If not Sorta reminds one of Nazi Germany wasn't it not one of there first moves to disarmament public. "Do as I say not as I do" is the liebral party motto as I see it. Cheers.

Maybe we really should ban Police from having guns or at least send them to prison for 50 years.

One of the arguments gun control advocates will make for calling for an outright ban on handguns or certain rifles is that if regular citizens don’t have these firearms in their homes, they can’t be lost or stolen to be used in a crime.

Newly-released documents from the RCMP and other federal departments and agencies show that if the risk of lost and stolen guns is an issue, then we better think of taking guns from the Mounties, maybe even the military.

Firearms researcher Dennis Young obtained a list of the number of guns lost or stolen by police or public agencies from 2005 through 2019 and the numbers might shock you.

A total of 640 firearms were reported lost in that time frame, another 173 were reported stolen.

That includes 469 handguns reported lost and another 117 handguns stolen.

According to another set of documents released through access to information legislation, that would include a Smith & Wesson 5946 RCMP service pistol that was lost by someone on the prime minister’s protection detail back in 2007.

Beyond handguns, more exotic firearms have been lost by our police and public agencies, including a report of what are only described as 13 “submachine guns.” There were a total of 10 submachine guns reported “lost” in 2015 followed by one in each of the following three years.

The RCMP detachment in North Battleford, Sask., lost a fully-automatic C8 — the type of rifle used by Canada’s military.

The RCMP also had a Federal M201-Z stolen from their warehouse.That gun is used to fire teargas or other non-lethal rounds.

Young says the political class in Ottawa want to scapegoat civilian gun owners without looking at their own system.

“(Federal cabinet ministers) Bill Blair and Ralph Goodale keep talking about the source of crime guns being from gun dealers and law-abiding owners. Here we have police and public agencies and they also have their guns lost and stolen from them,” Young said.

“You have to talk about all the sources, not just some of them.”

One of the sources of the guns floating around in the public is the Department of National Defence. In a third access to information request, Young obtained documents showing 559 firearms reported lost by the military and another 14 stolen between 2008-18.

That’s an awful lot of missing guns without an awful lot of detail or reporting.

In the meantime, the Trudeau Liberals have been increasing paperwork on civilian gun owners and making their life more difficult all in the name of stopping gang shootings on the streets.

It hasn’t worked but that isn’t stopping them from increasing the rhetoric and talking about banning handguns or some rifles from civilian ownership.

“Absolutely,” says Young when asked if he thinks licenced gun owners will be used as a political football in the coming election.

“The Liberals go by polls and they are going to follow that lead. If they think they can demonize people that aren’t the problem, then they’re going to do it.”

And demonizing legal gun owners is part of the strategy we can expect from Justin Trudeau and the Liberals this coming election.

In the last election, they falsely claimed that the Conservative changes to gun laws were letting people keep handguns in their cars. It wasn’t true.

Neither will most of what they say be true this election.

As I keep saying, the gun crime problem in Canada won’t be solved by laying more regulations on the people already following the law. It will be solved by dealing with those that break it.
