3 Reasons Canadian Gun Owners Should Remain Optimistic About the Future 🇨🇦 Under @JustinTrudeau and the Liberals, law-abiding gun owners have experienced, arguably, the largest, most sustained and unprovoked attack on our community in recent memory, and all by no fault of our own. It's been a tough time for hunters and sport shooters, to say the least. In the end, however, it might all be worth it, since it could finally settle the #guncontrol debate in Canada, once and for all. 👇 1. The Gun Bans Have (Very) Noticeably Failed Even with the @Liberal_Party's American-style politics with near-constant rhetoric aimed at licensed firearms owners, the PMO's scandalous interference into the #NovaScotia massacre investigation, and eventual banning of hundreds of thousands of hunting and sporting rifles in May 2020... Violent crime committed with illegal guns got noticeably worse, with the country seeing unprecedented shootings and the highest murder rate in thirty (30) years. nationalpost.com/news/canada… 2. Crime Guns Sources are Better Understood After Public Safety Minister @MarcoMendicino presented the governments 'handgun freeze' legislation to the House of Commons, the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security and the Senate, he told Canadian media that Liberal Bill C-21 was ‘Canada's most significant legislation on gun violence in a generation.’ When the vast majority of experts disagreed, providing historical data and expert witness testimony, a frustrated Mendicino accused Conservative MPs and Senators of delaying the passage of the bill, saying ‘study the bill, debate the bill, and pass the bill, so we can end gun violence once and for all.’ Eventually, the bill was passed. As predicted, it has had no significant impact on criminal violence or gun crime, which continues to this day. On the positive side, the process generated discussion among thousands of non-gun-owning Canadians and presented them with a large amount of peer-reviewed data, and expert testimony, that supports the safe and responsible use of firearms by hunters, sport shooters, and all types of licensed gun owners. nationalpost.com/news/expert… 3. The Existence of Ghost Guns, Ends the Debate Not only have #Trudeau's gun bans and ‘tighter restrictions,’ failed to prevent the criminal use of firearms (or illegal gun smuggling), they've failed to do anything about the latest (and potentially greatest) risk to public safety: Ghost guns. #GhostGuns are easy-to-make, assembled from individual parts that are printed by 3D printers. 3D printers are unregulated, cheap, difficult to monitor, and are capable of producing a range of items, and yes, firearms. 3D firearms ‘don't have serial numbers on them and so evade typical legal, traceable registration processes that would otherwise help authorities track their ownership and use.’ thewestshore.ca/p/3d-printab… While the federal Liberals were wasting millions in taxpayer dollars chasing hunters and sport shooters, 3D printers continued to be 100% legal to own and use by any criminal in the country. In Summary It has been a difficult time for gun owners under this ignorant and authoritarian-style liberal government... but it may just yet, produce some future good, some greater freedom, and more safety and security for all Canadians. 👇 People who once trusted in Trudeau's government and legitimately thought licensed gun owners ‘were a problem,’ now, thanks to his governments complete failure to address the root causes of violence, know we aren't the problem... ...and that's good thing for all Canadians. #cdnpoli
