Canada Bans More GunsConservative MP Raquel Dancho said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was trying to cover up his own weakness on crime by scapegoating “lawful and vetted hunters, sport shooters, and Indigenous Peoples who safely and legally use firearms as they have done for generations.”
“After nine years of Trudeau’s reckless policies, he has unleashed a crimewave on Canada. Violent crime has exploded over 50% and gun crime has surged 116%,” she said.
“Trudeau’s latest underhanded attack against lawful Canadians and his continued blind eye to actual gun criminals is an insult to the thousands of victims of gun crime who continue to be terrorized and lose their lives as a result of Trudeau’s catch-and-release policies,” she said.
“It is disappointing that the federal government has decided to double-down on their firearms policies that are not rooted in evidence-based decision-making regarding public safety,” said Alberta Justice Minister Mickey Amery.
“Instead of choosing to commit scarce resources to addressing criminal usage of firearms, such as through strengthening our border to combat the trafficking of firearms that make up the overwhelming majority of those used in violent crime, the federal government has chosen to focus its attention once again on undermining law-abiding firearms ownership in Alberta and across Canada,” Amery said.
The reality is that its people like Trudeau who should be banned from any position of responsibility.
