KRUGGEL – Is it any wonder why the Liberals are falling further and further behind in the polls. Bad policy doesn't sell.

Everyone agrees that we should keep firearms out of the hands of criminals.


The Federal Liberals though have been at the forefront of making bad decisions on firearms for years. It has been an issue for them that has always cost them votes, and over time, government.

The latest move was triggered by the mass shooting in Nova Scotia in May 2020. The shooter's firearms were all illegally acquired in the United States. He illegally brought them over the border by smuggling them across. He was banned from having a firearms license. He purchased an RCMP car and had it repainted to look current. On three separate occasions the RCMP were made aware of the fact he had illegal firearms and had issued threats to people.

No action was ever taken.

He broke law repeatedly before engaging in Canada's worst shooting rampage.

For this, the Federal Liberal Party of Canada has spent the last four years punishing and persecuting lawful firearms owners.

I am a firearms owner as are 2.35 million other Canadians. We are vetted repeatedly with detailed background checks. We have to follow very strict regulations derived from the Firearms Act. We sign away our privacy to the RCMP to be in compliance. We hold the title of being the demographic least likely to commit any crime.

Yet, the Federal Liberals as the government of Canada have continued to come after us constantly.

Today the Federal Liberals have listed around 350 new firearms, long guns, to be classified as prohibited. These are called "assault -styled" weapons because they look like something you'd see in a movie or violent television program.

They are so rarely used in crimes that they don't show up in the official statistics.

In fact, the vast, vast, vast majority of firearms used in crimes are handguns which are still classified as restricted.

Crimes with handguns have increased substantially under Justin Trudeau's terms in office. Yet, since May 2020 no one in Canada has been able to buy or transfer a handgun to a new owner. Stores aren't allowed to carry them. You cannot buy them online. You cannot order them from the United States or any country.

Handguns used in crimes have skyrocketed. They enter the country illegally along the US border and through our ports. Chinese made 1911 knock-offs are common in this country. They used to be sold legally. Today they come in through Vancouver and elsewhere along the BC coast. There is simply insufficient resources currently patrolling the coast and inspecting containers being offloaded at ships.

Handguns also, as we all know, flow across our border with the United States. They are brought in by various gangs and other criminal operations for use but said groups in this country.

The number of illegal weapons entering this country has not slowed under the Liberal government. It has accelerated.

So today the Liberals are targeting long guns, not handguns, and continue their assault on lawful owners.

Is it any wonder why the Liberals are falling further and further behind in the polls. Bad policy doesn't sell.
