Canadian gun rights

Rob Anders asks the next logical question

by Rob Anders,
Member of Parliament, Calgary West

The repeal of the gun registry is expected to go from a Senate standing committee to third reading in the Senate within the next two weeks.

While the ineffective and expensive long gun registry will have been repealed there still remain issues with Canadian gun laws.

We still need to make the regulations more straight forward and more common sense.

XI: Thou Shalt Not Refuse To Be A Victim

"Mr. Thomson ran afoul of a doctrine dominant in interventionist societies. It holds that anything for which the state has no solution, is insoluble. If the government can’t put a cop outside every farm house targeted by arsonists, burn, baby, burn."

by George Jonas
National Post

When defending their monopoly to defend us, the authorities often shoot themselves in the foot. In Saturday’s National Post, Rex Murphy recalled the case of a shopkeeper in Toronto’s Chinatown who was charged with kidnapping for nabbing a shoplifter and holding him for the police. The story had a happy ending: The lawmen looked as foolish in court as they deserved to look, and the shopkeeper was acquitted.

Undaunted, though, the authorities press on. Currently, prosecutors are making fools of themselves over a citizen named Ian Thomson, whose warning shots scared away three men trying to firebomb his farm house near Port Colborne, Ont. He fired in the air; the assailants fled, and no one was hurt except the feelings of the authorities.

What to do if the RCMP Calls You on the Phone About Your Firearms License

by Christopher di Armani

It has come to my attention that the RCMP may or may not be phoning people who have firearms licenses expiring within the next 12 months.  I’ve heard of at least one individual who says they have been contacted on the telephone by someone claiming to be from the RCMP and that person demanded all kinds of personal information from them.

NOTE You are under NO OBLIGATION to answer personal questions from an unidentified voice on the telephone!

I have no way of confirming whether or not this story is true, but here are the steps that every firearm owner should follow if they receive a telephone call from anyone claiming to be from the RCMP or any other branch of law enforcement.

Long gun registry debate misses the point

by Solomon Friedman
The Landowner

The failure of Bill C-391, which proposed the scrapping of the federal long gun registry, has drawn renewed interest to a subject which has lain virtually dormant for much of the last decade – gun control. The new Conservative majority government, which has promised to end the registry once and for all, has further enflamed debate on this controversial topic.

Abolishing the “Gun Registry” Will Do No Good

by Pierre Lemieux

Future historians may well see Bill C-68, adopted by the Canadian Parliament in 1995, as a model of sorts.

The federal Minister of Justice at the time, Allan Rock, a would-be intellectual who later became president of the University of Ottawa, knew that words are important. As a politician, he knew that telling the truth does not necessarily further a political career. As a member of the liberal establishment, he knew that talking like a do-gooder was all that mattered. As a lawyer, he knew how laws can be made tortuous, indecipherable and irresistible. And he had in his Department hundreds of bureaucrats who thought like him.
