Gun control in America’s northern neighbor has moved into confiscation phase, as Nova Scotia, Canada’s east coast province, kicked off a pilot program of “voluntary” gun buybacks in September, while the western provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan say they will not comply.
The national ban was originally decreed by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government in 2020, covering 1,500 models of rifles, but has since been expanded to include more than 2,500 models. And while the ban is purported to cover “semi-automatic firearms with sustained rapid-fire capability,” the list of prohibited firearms also includes more traditional bolt-action rifles and shotguns commonly used in hunting.

This is how it starts with libs. It's never enough. Eventually they'll come for match-locks and flint-locks.

There is nothing remotely "voluntary" about it. Give up the gun, or go to prison. Not voluntary.

Just one more reason for Alberta and Saskatchewan, the most American of the Canadian provinces, to become part of the United States of America. Regimes that disarm their civilians do so with the goal of killing them at some future time when their lives have become too inconvenient for their masters in Ottawa, or wherever. That always happens. Canada has gone commie, almost as if there were a iMadman up there running their affairs. (There was; his name is Justin Castreau, bastage son of the original Cigar Man.)

Whatever shall we do?! The Government Bwoke their Word, and now I'm just another Serf to the Ottawa Commissars, with no recourse, no hope and no rights.
Oh, well, I guess its for the best....or for the children... or for the power... or whatever, eh?

Alberta and Saskatchewan? Wasn't there some talk about them seceding and joining the US as two more states. Maybe BC also? This gun confiscation may just be the final reason they leave their rapidly declining country.

So the Mexican snow bunnies can't see what happened to their Commonwealth sister, Australia, when they turned in all their guns? or even the mother country Great Britain? What Moroons, as Bugs Bunny would say.

My Dad, a WWII US Marine Staff Sergeant who was on Kwajalein during the war, told me several times:
"Registration ALWAYS leads to Confiscation!"
..... and Canada has proven him right!
Sad to see, but it appears to me that Canada is circling the Totalitarian drain.

#22, fyi - NY State requires a background check on certain muzzleloaders.
And here is your trivia for today.
On January 30, 1835, President Jackson walked into the Capitol building, was confronted by a mentally ill house painter who believed he was King Richard III, and the house painter drew two flintlock pistols and fired both at the President.
Each pistol misfired (thus the term flash in the pan) and a feeble, 68 year old President Jackson pummeled the would be assassin with his cane.
The attempted assassin was acquitted of murder, by reason of insanity, and lived out his life in an insane asylum

When Governments ban or seize firearms from their citizens, it is because they KNOW they deserve to be overthrown or have plans to become so!
America watchout! When it comes to gun confiscation... SHOOT first ask questions later!

Give up your guns, you give up your right to say no to your government. Tyranny will use any method to gain power and control. The first step is to take away the citizen's right to defend themselves. During WW2, Japan admitted that invading America was impossible. The reason, " There's a gun behind every blade of grass." To our Canadian friends " WAKE UP!"

A wise man once said that the only reason anyone wants to ban firearms is because they're afrid you'd shoot them for what they're planning on doing to you next. Each year I'm convinced more and more that he was probably right.

This is how a government behaves when it's worried about its population getting mad enough to take matters into its own hands. They would like to give themselves more power and become an authoritarian state or even worse. After all, they truly consider that they have a divine right to rule since they are on the left and proper side of history. I use the word "divine" while knowing that most despise all religions except maybe Islam. I can see the western provinces considering secession and no good will come of this. Those provinces are well armed and will resist gun confiscation or worse. That is, of course, if they haven't become as feminized as the pansies in Ottawa.
