Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program
This is the results from a CSSA survey that I find quite disheartening. Nearly 20% are not going to contact their premier? Really?
RESULTS FROM LAST WEEK'S SURVEY
Will you contact your premier to ensure he/she protects your rights as a licensed gun owner?
Yes, I absolutely will contact my premier: 67.3%
No, it won't make any difference: 19.9%
I may call or write if time permits: 12.8%

Attached is a brief to SECU regarding the evidence behind gun bans and homicide rates, including Canadian, American, and Australian evidence
https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!ANzt-0zdhrptZzo&id=ED70CF83D51F31BF!108072&cid=ED70CF83D51F31BF&parId=root&parQt=sharedby&o=OneUp
Recommendations and Insights
It is important that references to the research are accurate. Accurate reference to research ensures that Committee members may make the best possible decisions.
There is no strong evidence that firearm bans will save lives in Canada. On the contrary, the overwhelming body of relevant research indicates that proposed firearm bans would have no impact whatsoever on preventable deaths in Canada, whether by homicide or suicide.
The Committee is better served by examining alternative measures to achieve a reduction in deaths, including addressing the demand-side components of violent crime. The massive expenditure associated with such bans, and the time spent studying them, would be better directed toward these measures if homicide and suicide reductions are the goals of Committee. A previous discussion of potential methods has been addressed in prior submissions to the Committee.

Privy Council Office research questions new handgun sales ban
Banning new handgun sales won’t necessarily lessen crime.
So says in-house research by the Privy Council Office, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
“All participants believed combating gun smuggling and trafficking to be an important priority for the federal government to focus on.
Many viewed illegally sourced firearms as the greatest contributor to gun crime in Canada at present.

I've been saying this since I got my PAL, we are our own worst enemy. The members of the firearms community, will be the downfall of the firearms community. And that's very sad, since we are all passionate.

Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program
For the Conservatives' messenger on firearms, thoughtfulness is a secret weapon
OTTAWA -For Raquel Dancho, words have always come easily.
Today, Dancho is the federal Conservative Party's main voice on one of the country's most heated topics: firearms and crime.
Dancho has led the Conservatives' charge against the Liberals' Bill C-21, which seeks to ban handguns. It became a political mess for Trudeau last fall when Liberal MPs proposed an amendment that would have entrenched a definition of banned weapons that critics including First Nations chiefs warned would include popular hunting rifles. The change was withdrawn.
Dancho said that when she speaks, she wants firearms owners to feel respected -- but in a policy-focused way that will earn the trust of non-gun owners in the suburbs, and "women in particular."

The Global news reporter presses the unhonorable Mendicino and he fails to answer the questions and completely deflects.
Boys and girls, you have to contribute. Join a firearms advocacy group, write or email provincial premiers and both liberal and Conservative PMs! Don't sit on your butts or it will get kicked by the bad guys!

Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program
I see the CBC is actually being more subtle with their bias than normal in this matter.
Still a LOT of bias, still a lot of comments directly designed to encourage folks to back the government's stance though.
Ottawa's plan for guns misfired. Alberta gun cultures might help us understand why

Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program
Here is one fellow that should be headed towards the gallows:
Trafficking ring stretched across Canada: RCMP
A member of Manitoba Finance’s special investigations unit is among more than 20 people charged in connection with an alleged drug and illegal cigarettes trafficking ring.
The RCMP probe, dubbed Project Dawgpound, began in May 2022, after Mounties intelligence analysts identified a trafficker dealing in large quantities of cocaine and other commodities operating out of Winnipeg, police said Tuesday.
At a news conference, RCMP Insp. Grant Stephen said 36-year-old Hue Ha of Winnipeg orchestrated the transport of kilograms of cocaine and large quantities of illicit cigarettes to Manitoba from Ontario.
Investigators seized large amounts of various street drugs — including cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA and fentanyl, that RCMP estimated to be worth more than $2.5 million — and 19 guns, including two pistols.
