Once again in Canada the minister responsible for curbing organized crime
00:00:04.800
and mass illegal border crossing proves that he doesn't actually understand crime.
00:00:10.000
Bill Blair you'd think would know better having been the chief of police in
00:00:13.980
Toronto, Canada's largest city, but has become increasingly apparent he doesn't
00:00:17.920
know anything about the realities of law-breaking, specifically the difference
00:00:21.840
between legal gun ownership and illegal gun ownership and more importantly the
00:00:26.840
fact that it's the guns owned illegally that tend to cause the most problems.
00:00:31.340
Lethbridge, Alberta Conservative Member of Parliament Rachel Harder had an event
00:00:35.780
called Guns in Guinness where she encouraged people to come out shoot some
00:00:40.280
guns at a range in a controlled supervised legal environment and then go and have a
00:00:44.480
pint of Guinness at a barbecue later on. Bill Blair called this quote deeply
00:00:49.760
disappointing unquote because of the tragic homicides with firearms that exist
00:00:55.280
around Canada. So he draws a line between a bunch of people shooting guns at a
00:01:01.100
range and gangsters gunning each other down in the streets of Toronto. This is
00:01:06.560
Bill Blair proving that he's a 22 caliber mind in a 45 caliber world. He's a
00:01:11.720
lightweight and quite frankly Canadians should be very, especially gun owning
00:01:16.280
Canadians, should be very disturbed that the minister responsible for organized
00:01:20.600
crime thinks that a bunch of legal gun owners at a range is just as much
00:01:25.100
of an equal force as the guns owned by gangsters and those actually in organized
00:01:31.340
crime environments and settings. This is actually quite unfortunate but it
00:01:35.600
proves what people like me, a gun owning Canadian, have been saying for a long
00:01:39.500
time about Justin Trudeau which is that he does not view gun crime as the
00:01:43.820
problem. He views guns as the problem and his entire cabinet views guns as the
00:01:48.440
problem despite a wealth of evidence suggesting that a gun owning Canadian is
00:01:53.740
actually one of the safest people in the world and one of the safest people in
00:01:58.340
the country and actually a Canadian with a firearms license is less likely to
00:02:03.040
cause harm to anyone else than an average Canadian without one. And that's
00:02:07.600
actually something that people need to realize, certainly Bill Blair does. For the
