Canadian police chiefs won't back handgun ban, say it wouldn't stop flow of guns into the country


The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police won’t be supporting a call for a ban on handguns despite concerns about gun violence in a number of major cities including Toronto.

Vancouver police chief Adam Palmer, who heads the organization, says Canada already has strong firearms regulations and no other law is required.

It's nice to see common sense prevail from time to time. Our police services are busy enough as it is without the government creating criminals out of ordinary people.

What is our Prime Minister thinking ? No-one can justify this if they are talking saving innocent lives.
This man and his crew make me feel sick.

Someone brought up a good point about police chiefs.
Isn't it funny how the government looks to the police for input or ideas and runs with them until it doesn't go with their intrests, and then ignore everything the police say.
Almost as good as when anti's say gun owners don't compromise, which means as long as we give and they take and offer nothing in return that is comprimise to all the anti's and Government.
Problem is, you can't argue with stupid.

It’s gotten to the point where I’m so past being angry, could go as far as saying disgusted to call myself Canadian... Sadly and with disgrace I actually voted for him (1st running, wouldn’t be caught dead doing so any other time, well until I guess we only have mail in votes) just because of that damn gateway drug. Crazy weed that actually helped my terminal father and secondly, I actually thought it would make Canada a better place and direct wasted law-enforcement funds into more violent crime prevention. So damn wrong I was, for this my sane friends, I, with disgrace and great sorrow I humbly apologize

Now, along with it. It’s also just come to my attention that under the new C 21 bill, it has basically eliminated and banned all airsoft rifles and pistols, yes kids toys but not only so, there area lot of actual groups and clubs that enjoy airsoft gun play. It also bans a lot of air/pellet/bb pistols and rifles as well. Seriously! Ya....
Just how far will this idiocy go?

What’s next after all?
Let’s see, no more vacation travel of any kind..., but of course if you have a high social score or are a politician, your exempt.
How about how big of a house you can build? Oh wait that’s already being controlled with the alc....
K how bout.....it’s endless folks. I pity the fools....

Also, I’m not too far behind Sparki55, I feel it coming on strong. They have pretty much destroyed all fun in life, eroding some of my work and income, now some my safe queens (that I truly wouldn’t miss, see them rarely maybe only once or twice every year) are going to be reclassified and confiscated/nullified, but the takin won’t end.
So just throwing in the towel and being spoon fed by the li(e)berals for life is unavoidable. So, gone are the days of family camping, hunting, fishing and relaxing . I’ll just get blitzed everyday with great scotch, sucking on a dube or stogie and just getting fat watching idiots step out of cottages to publicly address us boot lickers. Arghhh sign me up Sparki55......

[dakoda62]

I will not comply.

So on the 18th Trudeau introduces Bill C-21 that attacks the most law abiding segment in Canadian society the licensed gun owner. Oh and by the way Airsoft guys C-21 banns all replica Airsoft, if it looks like a real firearm it will now be a "Prohibited Device" Then on the 19th Trudeau introduces Bill C-22 which reduces penalties for firearm trafficking and other crimes committed with a firearm, and also for drug crimes. He's a lunatic, seriously I believe he's lost his mind. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-jus ... ealed.html

It's a massive what the hell are you doing, Trudeau, moment.

Try to make criminals out of law abiding citizens, while removing penalties for actual criminals. This is complete insanity.

Trudeau reduces sentence for serious gun crimes

Two days after saying growing gun violence is 'unacceptable'

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to crack down on gun crime, then on Thursday his government introduced legislation to reduce sentences for serious gun crimes including weapons trafficking and importing.

The Liberals are getting rid of a series of mandatory minimum sentences even for people convicted multiple times of gun offences.

snip

Mandatory minimum sentences are being removed for a long list of offences including:

– Use of firearm in commission of offence

– Possession of restricted or prohibited weapon knowing possession is unauthorized

– Possession of loaded handgun

– Possession of weapon obtained through crime

– Weapons trafficking

– Unauthorized import/export of firearm

– Illegal discharge of a firearm with intent

– Robbery with firearm

– Extortion with firearm

With this bill, Justin Trudeau is showing he isn’t serious about dealing with actual gun crime and any claims otherwise are simply electoral smoke and mirrors.

^^^ He’s just following in Daddy’s footsteps.

RPAL and PAL holders are part of the problem.

Shut them down and there will be an improvement.

What problem? Show statistics, not speculative gibberish and unsubstantiated opinions.

Cops killed more people last year than law abiding legal gun owners. Maybe they need disarming as well?? Or do you think that's OK??

Guess what - this is suppose to be a democracy ( as shaky as it is ) - not a dictatorship that oppresses one's right to own property, whether it's a gun, a car or your home.

Funny why something like this isn't taken to a referendum and let the people decide, not a handful of cowardly $10,000 suits.

By the way - get rid of drug dealers and drug cartels and you solve an even bigger and deadlier problem. Without them, gangs wouldn't have to shoot anyone - problem solved.

[csm]

The people have spoken. Go to hell, Justin Trudeau.

The people have spoken??? What???
'The People' are compliant PC weaklings that would serve JT on their knees if he ordered them to.
JT could ban everything including nail guns if he wanted to, and the people will say 'Oh ...it was a privilege, and not a right' to begin with. They would love him even more for it. He would probably end up with a sweeping majority in the next election if he banned all guns.
Besides....we can't defend property or ourselves in Canada...what do we need guns for? To hunt? If you are not FN, you can kiss that goodbye very soon as well.
Betcha very soon we won't be able to store them at home anyway....we will have to 'apply' to take our guns out of 'storage'-whatever that 'storage' looks like.
Remember...the last thing Canadians under 40 want is self reliant rednecks out and about. Maybe rednecks are scary to the new owners of Canada....

What's PC got to do with it??

Oh I know - because they are the only "anti" socialist party we have, and believe in real democracy instead of a dictatorship run by a simpleton with questionable morals.

Personally, I would think there would be more of an urgency to focus the torrent of illegal fentanyl and human trafficking - particularly children ( you know - the stuff the illegal gun owners shoot everyone for and ARE the problem???) instead of going after people who are NOT the problem.

But, hey - Liberals are as lazy as their constituents. Liberals, NDP idiot, and Green fanatics haven't got the gumption to manage a garage sale, let alone a country.

The "little dictator" needs to go - yesterday, then investigated the crimes we know and those that are not YET public knowledge.

[csm]

Funny, one of the first posts is more gun control to stop people shooting each other over drugs.
Why won't it all magically go away now that the government wants to make it legal to carry hard core drugs for personal use.
Just go's to show our government has their head so far up their *bleep* they can see daylight.
Drugs should be illegal but here we go. Lets punish the law abiders and reward the law breakers. More useless tripe by our government.
Voluntary gun by back. Guess what ? Like the other 80% of now prohibited firearms owners i will keep my Ar 15.

Yes - let's allow the Government to become a drug dealer - after all, they are naturally criminals anyway. May as well stop trying to protect the citizens they have been sworn to protect, hand them a needle and a bunch of drugs and "go at 'er ". Yup very defeatist attitude.

Tell you what - if the government spent as much money and effort at going AFTER the drug cartels, instead of the "legal gun owner", then our society would be a hell of a lot safer.

Courts are swinging doors, why? Because every time a court door swings - a Lawyer gets paid.

[csm]

As for the title, yes I do want more gun control laws for the scum that inhabit within our society and insist on shooting each other over drugs and the like.

Is this reality? Not in the least. Mine are locked up as are the majority of law abiding firearm owners who respect the PRIVILEGE of owning fire arms.

Canada , in my opinion, have laws regarding firearms that work for the most of us. Yes there will be some that " crack" and are in the news because of firearm use, don't know how to prevent that unless Canada prohibits ALL firearm ownership. Political suicide.

Don't forget - more people die of illegal drug use and legal tobacco use by an enormous margin that legal ( or even illegal ) gun owners.

It's a diversion and totally within the book of Karl Marx - you control the media, you disarm the public, and you control them with fear. Democracy is over - and the next couple of years are going to be something you would never have imagined Canada could ever become.

I warned people in 2015 when this tyrant came to power that he would sell out this country and he has. We no longer have sovereignty over our borders, nor control over our government - they rule us - they no longer work for us.

Even our own military swears allegiance to a monarch in a foreign country - not to the citizens of the country they are suppose to be protecting.

Canada is a joke, just like those running it, and will soon be unrecognizable as to what it used to be.
