The Liberal Gun Grab is Just Plain Wrong

Many more firearms have been silently added to the original list of banned guns

Last May, with an order in Council, while Parliament was suspended, a plethora of firearms became prohibited in Canada, and with it, the lawful owners of those firearms became criminals, unless they turn over their property to the federal government.  Firearms that were selected were based on arbitrary rationale, predominantly one may assume on what the firearm “Looks Like”, as it really didn’t consider the operation of the firearm, it’s use, its caliber, but with the rationale of “Safety” to the general public.

The salt in the wound is that following the order in council, many more firearms have been added to the original list, but they have not been openly disclosed publicly, one has to search the firearms reference tables to see what other target, hunting, or long-range/dangerous game rifles have been added to the list. Further to this clear slight of property rights, and freedoms of what could be argued the most law-abiding citizens of our country, is that when the Federal Conservative Party, supported by the Bloc Quebecois tried to introduce legislation to increase the severity of punishment available for those who smuggle illegal forearms, or who are in the possession of them, it was voted down by the same Liberal party, with the support of the Green, and NDP parties.  In short, punish the law-abiding citizens, but don’t increase, or further enforce the laws to capture or punish the criminals, who are the real threats to public safety.

Advocate of Albertan Perspective on Gun Restrictions

The office will be based here in Alberta, and will ensure that the laws that are to be enforced, are with an “Albertan Perspective” which has a strong respect for property rights, and the freedoms that are cherished in our province.  Education will also be a key component, as well as training for the general public going forward.

Alberta’s government understands that we can’t make good policy without consulting Albertans first, we were elected by you and we serve at your pleasure, and let me assure you myself and my colleagues are going to use every single tool in the tool box to protect law-abiding firearm owners in this province.

I am proud to bring common-sense back into Alberta’s legislation because we want to make life easier for Albertans. And I will continue working hard every day to follow through on our promises and commitments to Albertans.
