Criminals did not get your message. Our communities are experiencing a 45% increase in shootings and a 62% increase in gun-related homicides compared to this time last year. What difference does your handgun ban make when 85% of guns seized by our members can be sourced to the

The only handgun market that was frozen was the legitimate, regulated market of licensed guns. The black market of illegal handguns has flourished under your tenure. #FactsMatter

Multiple police associations/unions now coming forward with harsh criticism of the handgun freeze (former Bill #C21). This is unprecedented. The Liberal Party should take heed and stop playing politics with public safety. #Canada

Every single PAL holder should write to their MP and to Dominic LeBlanc asking them what constitutes a .22 being considered a battlefield rifle. You might as well go to a battlefield with a slingshot...

Semi automatic centrefire rifles have been limited to 5 rounds in Canada for over two decades. This new reclassifications target specific models and variants. At least have a clue what you're talking about.

The government is not telling the truth that there have been declines in gun violence due to their measures. Firearm homicide is up since the first major ban in 2020. Firearm homicides fell in 2023. However, homicides by stabbing fell at a higher rate. Homicides in the United

It's now inhumane to point out the simple fact that the Liberals have -- and in all likelihood will continue with -- a platform of gun confiscation in Canada?

This is already part of the law and has been for decades. Any PAL holder (firearm Possession and Acquisition License) is subject to a daily background check. A conviction would automatically disqualify them from holding that license and it would be revoked by the RCMP.

Perhaps because the Conservatives realize where the root of the issue is in Canada? Gun control in Canada is stringent. Our borders, our criminal justice system, organized crime and street gangs - that is what requires our attention. #cdnpoli #Canada nationalpost.com/news/pearson-a…

Alleged Pearson gold heist thief used proceeds from stolen gold to purchase guns to smuggle into Canada. These are the criminals that we need to be cracking down on, not legal gun owners. Pierre Poilievre Mark Carney Jagmeet Singh #guncontrol nationalpost.com/news/pearson-a…

Crown sought 120 days for breaking and entering and attempted disarming of a police officer. The issue isn't gun control in Canada. It's criminal control. It's our justice system. #cdnpoli #canada nationalpost.com/news/canada/un…

Assault rifles were banned in Canada in 1978. Prior to 2020 the AR-15 was a "restricted" rifle in Canada meaning it could only ever be used at a licensed gun range and had to be stored securely, as per regulation, at home. Violation could result in confiscation and jail time.

Technically still legal to own if you owned one prior to 2020. And miraculously they haven't jumped out of their safes and gone and killed the "largest number of people in the shortest amount of time"

Sad. Bail reform is something the Trudeau Liberals ignored for years. Instead they sought to attack and criminalize legal gun owners. Meanwhile we have continued to see repeat offenders, often those involved in violent crime, be released and reoffend. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

The now defunct group Doctors for Protection from Guns and other anti-gun groups like PolySeSouvient / PolyRemembers have long touted femicide as a major reason for further restrictions. But this ignores the reality that most femicide occurs via other lethal methods. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

"4 or 5 suspects armed with handguns" Canada needs to move past the notion that we can ban our way out of a gun violence problem. Bans have proven to be ineffective, here and abroad. #Huntsville #Canada #guncontrol #CanadaDay globalnews.ca/news/11269767/…
