Law-Abiding Gun Owners Aren’t the Problem in Canada

As a retired army officer who deployed twice to Afghanistan, I am extremely familiar with gun safety. In my lifetime, I have shot tens of thousands of rounds.

I have the utmost respect for responsible gun owners in Canada.

Since I have been asked several times, here is my answer -

I agree with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters: "The May 1, 2020 OIC prohibitions were politically-driven instead of policy-driven. These flawed policies were based on public perception and resulted from a clear lack of consultation and preparedness. The amended regulations work to undermine an evidence-based classification system, are causing hardship for law-abiding Canadians and businesses, and will cost taxpayers significantly without the promised public safety benefits."

Their Order in Council (OIC) fact sheet lays out the issues:

Even the police unions agree: Trudeau’s gun ban is not working, police union charges

If you haven't met me yet, come to one of the upcoming events, and I'd be happy to discuss this further.

See you on the range.
