HISTORY'S BIGGEST CRACKDOWN ON HONEST CITIZENS Important Context The Liberal Party of Canada's criminalization of hundreds of thousands of government-licensed firearm owners is the BIGGEST CRACKDOWN against honest citizens by any democracy in history ... outside of war.

@Safety_Canada it is illegal to put false information on your website.
We understand using exaggeration and metaphor at political campaign rallies and summer BBQs. But in official government documentation about criminal law affecting millions of people? Every word the "government" says about its mass firearm confiscations is a lie.

Stakeholders invited to consult on Bill C-21, including a current Liberal Cabinet member, wanted amendments to ban online gun sales and thought gun owners illegally modified their magazines "all the time." And it was the only consultation held. calibremag.ca/c-21-docs-show…

What should we call it: - Firearm Derangement Syndrome (FDS)? - Media Derangement Syndrome (MDS)? Halfway through a decent report of how the Liberal handgun confiscations are killing handgun sport, CBC suddenly shifts to talking about crime and violence. It's a mental disorder.

The video version isn't as jarring, but it also uncritically repeats the Liberal prohibitionist talking points on what is otherwise an informative report: youtube.com/watch?v=_mL9jyca…

Is there any verifiable increase in public safety from the handgun freeze? No, straight up no. Not even Australia bans handguns but you hoplophobes are just happy to see us upset like some sociopaths Did your mother ever teach you shame?

Today, it is our difficult duty to announce the passing of NFA President Richard Igercich. As we mark Rick's passing, NFA Executive Vice President and Acting President Blair Hagen shares the following tribute to the man, the leader, and the friend we were proud to know. His dedication to Canada's firearms community and unwavering defense of our rights left a lasting mark on this organization and its members. Rest easy, Rick. Memorial donations to the VON Sakura House, Woodstock, Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital Foundation, or the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated by the family.

Canadian journalist says 67% of crime guns are domestically sourced — he was technically right but here's what he left out. Only 8% of crime guns are ever recovered. Only 20% of those are sent for tracing. 67% of those traced guns were ghost guns and 3D printed weapons — not firearms from licensed gun owners. Ontario and Quebec aren't even included in the data. The real number of crime guns sourced from licensed gun owners is 0.7%. @TWilsonOttawa from the @CCFR_CCDAF broke it down for us yesterday. You can get the scoop right here 👇

In MP Andrew Lawton’s Written Question Q-1113 to Public Safety, he asked which firearms have been registered for the “buyback” and which model was declared most often. The answer: the GSG-16, a .22 plinker, was the most reported. Now I’m wondering: can they break that down further and tell us how many of those were the pink version @CanadasNFA

New data from the federal government's own parliamentary response (Q-1113, June 10, 2026) reveals something worth sitting with: nearly 1 in 5 firearms declared under Canada's assault-style compensation program are chambered in .22 Long Rifle. That's 11,655 firearms across 24 distinct models. The .22LR is the world's most common sporting cartridge. It's what most Canadians learn to shoot on. Farmers use it for pest control. Kids are taught to shoot with it. It is, by any measure, among the least powerful cartridges in common civilian use. A typical squirrel hunter considers it modest. The most-declared model in the entire program is the German Sport Guns GSG-16, with 4,788 units declared. Before the May 2020 Order in Council, it was non-restricted, meaning the federal government itself did not consider it dangerous enough to require registration, a background check for transfer, or any of the safeguards that apply to restricted firearms. It was prohibited because it looks 'scary'. The same is true of the GSG StG44 and GSG MP40, both Second World War-era replicas in .22LR. They are on the prohibited list. They are also, functionally, plinking rifles. Most of the 24 .22LR models on this list were formerly non-restricted. The government's own pre-2020 classification system placed them in the same category as what the average person would consider to be 'hunting rifles and shotguns'. The 2020 OIC moved them to prohibited based on appearance and design features, not ballistic capability or any documented role in violent crime. The program has now received 67,000 declarations against a government target of 152,000. Of those, nearly one in five are firearms that fire a cartridge your grandfather used to shoot tin cans with and probably taught their grandchildren to do the same.

The Government of Canada aims to become the world's No. 1 owner of the GSG-16 plinking gun at a direct cost almost $3 million. They are threatening to steal it from you and put you in jail unless you sell it to them. "ASFCP"

Even the Public Safety Minister has admitted the Liberals' $1 BILLION gun grab doesn't work. Now that the Liberal government has been forced to extend the program's amnesty, will the Prime Minister finally END his failed boondoggle?
