In this episode, I sit down with gun rights advocate and author of the book "Out of the Box Firearms" to discuss gun control in Canada. We talk about gun control, assault weapons, background checks, and much more.
00:00:00.000Can you explain, in the best of your ability, what kinds of firearms the current federal liberal
00:00:08.120government is trying to ban? Because I want to stress, this may sound silly for those of us who
00:00:13.080understand firearms culture, so folks just bear with me. In Canada, the machine gun that you will
00:00:21.520see on like a Rambo movie or something, where the person just holds down the trigger and sprays
00:00:26.860bullets. Those have been big time illegal since before I was born. Okay. In the early 70s. So the
00:00:34.980full auto thing, like that, that is not accepted in Canada. Those are not what the government is
00:00:42.860banning. When people say, oh, they're banning semi-automatics. Okay. What a semi-automatic
00:00:49.320means in normal people talk is if you've got your firearm up, it's squeeze, bang, squeeze,
00:00:56.860bang, you have to pull the trigger every time. There's no holding your finger down and spraying
00:01:03.120rounds at people. So like, this is where I do think there's a big education gap between the
00:01:09.860folks who understand normal, safe, law-abiding firearms ownerships with all of our trigger locks
00:01:16.000and our gun safes and all of our background checks. Okay. When you go even just for your
00:01:20.500regular pal, okay, your regular, you know, non-restricted, if you want to own a rifle or
00:01:25.480shotgun they phone your ex-boyfriends and girlfriends okay like they do a really thorough
00:01:32.040background check to make sure things are all in the up and up so all that said can you please
00:01:37.480describe for people what kinds and styles i think is the better term of firearms the federal
00:01:44.520government is trying to confiscate so the most important thing is assault weapons don't they
00:01:49.960don't exist in canada the only people that have assault weapons as you're describing full autos
00:01:54.680right hold hold the trigger and the firearm continues to discharge bullets right those uh
00:02:01.080it was actually the late 70s that those were banned and it was a long time ago we definitely
00:02:07.480agree on that and the only people that have those are movie armorers and museums basically and the
00:02:13.000police and the military of course and then a handful of people that had a specific status
00:02:19.080Even me, I'm too young to have gotten a prohibitive license, a prohibited firearms license. So really important. I have so much experience with the legacy media in Canada showing stories about the so-called buyback and the Bill C-71 and Bill C-21 and all this different legislation and orders in council.
00:02:43.400And then while they're talking about these measures, they show full autos in the United States being being discharged.
00:02:50.320Like when you say education gap, it truly is propaganda.
