The federal government wants to confiscate all of your guns, and in order to do so, they want to take them from you, the people who actually want to own them. What does that mean for you and your family?

00:00:00.000 Today, our government is finishing the job, adding a further 179 unique makes and models of assault-style weapons
00:00:07.700 to the list of prohibited firearms here in Canada.
00:00:11.340 This prohibition takes effect immediately.
00:00:14.260 We will never support misguided policies, fear-mongering, or the seizure of private property.
00:00:20.080 And we will not tolerate taking officers off the streets in order to confiscate the property of law-abiding firearms owners.
00:00:30.000 Do you ever notice how tyrannical regimes always seem to have the same game plan?
00:00:38.460 It's like step 1, control or censor speech, step 2, control movement, and step 3, disarm the population.
00:00:47.980 It's a pattern, from the Soviets to the Chinese Communist Party, and now Canada seems to be reading the same playbook.
00:00:56.620 The federal government wants to disarm everyday Canadians.
00:01:00.000 And let's be real, they're specially targeting Albertans.
00:01:04.200 You know, the folks who actually believe in personal responsibility and self-reliance, and are trying to gain their independence?
00:01:12.120 Ottawa calls it a gun buyback program, which sounds voluntary.
00:01:16.860 Except it's not.
00:01:18.420 Most people don't want to sell their legally owned firearms.
00:01:21.640 So what do they do?
00:01:23.260 They threaten to take them anyway.
00:01:24.980 It's not a buyback if you're forced.
00:01:28.000 It's a confiscation.
00:01:29.920 But hey, if they slap a friendly label on it, I guess that makes it okay, right?
00:01:34.540 The federal liberals say they will double down on a pledge to buy back guns in an effort to reduce crime.
00:01:41.120 Since 2020, Ottawa has banned thousands of firearms while promising to buy them back.
00:01:46.500 Experts, owners, and officials in Alberta say the plan will not work.
00:01:51.540 There's so many questions and no answers.
00:01:54.080 We've been at this for five plus years, and there's just no answers.
00:01:57.380 For five years, this gun store owner has been trying to navigate new rules under Ottawa's plan to buy back guns.
00:02:04.180 Trying to run a business around that is very difficult, because I can't predict what will change and what won't change.
00:02:10.540 So we've been struggling with that.
00:02:13.180 Since 2020, the federal government has banned 2,500 firearms, with a plan to buy them back from businesses and individuals.
00:02:21.200 As of March, 7,299 claims from businesses have been processed by Ottawa.
00:02:26.660 Five years in, a consumer buyback program has yet to launch, something Mark Carney promises to change.
00:02:33.480 We will quickly, and I mean quickly, reinvigorate the buyback of assault-style firearms
00:02:39.720 and leave the classification of new firearm models to the RCMP.
00:02:44.840 This justice studies professor says past proposals to use Canada Post to ship guns gave rise to more questions than answers.
00:02:52.200 Adding, he doesn't believe it will have any impact on gun violence.
00:02:55.740 It will have almost zero impact. There might be one or two instances.
00:02:59.460 A stance shared by the UCP government, who intervened in legal challenges against the federal program last December.
00:03:05.940 The justice minister writing in a statement,
00:03:08.200 Alberta's government continues to oppose the federal government's false premise that licensed, law-abiding firearms owners
00:03:14.460 are responsible for increasing firearms violence, rather than criminals.
00:03:19.220 Owners and businesses have until next March to send restricted guns to Ottawa.
00:03:23.260 Here's the part that really baffles me.
00:03:26.540 The feds are blaming law-abiding gun owners for the rise in gun violence.
00:03:31.040 Not the gangs. Not the career criminals. Nope.
00:03:35.280 It's the hunters, farmers, and sports shooters who are apparently the problem now.
00:03:40.520 Meanwhile, the real criminals, the ones with rap sheets longer than a grocery receipt,
00:03:46.640 get bail before the ink on their arrest papers even dries.
00:03:51.000 The justice system has become a revolving door in Canada,
00:03:54.800 and Ottawa acts shocked when crime goes up.
00:03:58.540 So what's their genius fix?
00:04:00.380 Ban more guns from people who follow the law.
00:04:03.660 Brilliant.
00:04:04.180 Because criminals are totally going to turn in their illegal weapons, right?
00:04:09.160 That's why we call them criminals.
00:04:10.940 They don't give a damn about laws. 0.88
00:04:12.920 Especially the ones passed in some air-conditioned office in Ottawa.
00:04:17.960 Those in the industry say they're being used as federal government scapegoats in a political controversy,
00:04:23.580 and their opposition has triggered action by the provincial government.
00:04:27.000 We will never support misguided policies, fear-mongering, or the seizure of private property.
00:04:33.320 Justice Minister Tyler Shandro has sent separate letters to the RCMP and the federal minister
00:04:38.080 expressing the province won't participate in confiscating firearms,
00:04:42.160 nor will it offer any provincial resources to support the seizure of 30,000 firearms from Albertans.
00:04:48.780 Alberta taxpayers pay over $750 million per year for the RCMP,
00:04:56.120 and we will not tolerate taking officers off the streets
00:04:59.520 in order to confiscate the property of law-abiding firearms owners.
00:05:04.280 Earlier this year, the federal government banned all handguns in Canada.
00:05:07.760 Existing owners will be allowed to keep their current handguns but can't sell them.
00:05:12.040 The province is going further to legally challenge the constitutionality of the legislation.
00:05:16.640 This issue is a property rights issue,
00:05:20.440 and if they're coming for guns this year,
00:05:23.760 it could be your car next year,
00:05:26.080 it could be a single-dwelling home five years from now,
00:05:29.620 they're important issues,
00:05:30.960 and politicians at some level have to be having a discussion.
00:05:35.640 If the federal government won't,
00:05:37.120 then perhaps the provincial governments can force them.
00:05:40.160 So what's the endgame here?
00:05:42.360 Why is the Canadian government so obsessed with disarming its own citizens?
00:05:46.660 I mean, really,
00:05:47.360 when has that ever been about public safety and not about control?
00:05:51.540 Just look through history.
00:05:53.320 Mao,
00:05:54.100 Stalin,
00:05:55.440 disarming the public was never about peace.
00:05:58.100 It was about power.
00:05:59.580 So when Canada starts down that path,
00:06:01.680 you gotta wonder what's next.
00:06:03.560 That's why the Second Amendment in the United States exists. 0.61
00:06:07.740 Not just to protect yourself from some random thug in the night,
00:06:11.580 but from tyranny in broad daylight.
00:06:14.500 Unarmed population isn't just a deterrent to crime. 0.83
00:06:17.960 It's a check against government overreach.
00:06:21.000 Because when the people are disarmed,
00:06:23.180 only the state has the power.
00:06:25.480 And that's when freedom stops being a right
00:06:27.640 and becomes a permission slip.
00:06:29.720 In 2020,
00:06:31.100 our federal government banned what is now over 2,000 models of assault-style firearms.
00:06:37.440 In 2022-23,
00:06:39.580 our government passed legislation to freeze the market for handguns in Canada,
00:06:44.180 banning the sale,
00:06:45.360 transfer and importation of handguns into the country.
00:06:49.900 Just recently,
00:06:51.080 in December 2024,
00:06:52.440 we went further,
00:06:53.560 banning some of the additional assault-style weapons that remained in the Canadian market.
00:06:57.740 Today,
00:06:58.940 our government is finishing the job,
00:07:00.740 adding a further 179 unique makes and models of assault-style weapons
00:07:05.880 to the list of prohibited firearms here in Canada.
00:07:09.540 This prohibition takes effect immediately.
00:07:12.880 It is our hope,
00:07:14.120 our government's intention,
00:07:15.460 that this be the last discreet listing of assault-style firearms for prohibition.
00:07:21.840 If we finish the job well,
00:07:24.380 we have all the tools necessary to ensure that new models of assault-style weapons
00:07:28.560 will be captured and denied legal entry into the Canadian market.
00:07:33.460 Let's be clear,
00:07:34.620 these are weapons of war,
00:07:36.840 firearms designed specifically to kill as many people as possible
00:07:40.900 in the least amount of time possible.
00:07:44.640 As with previous prohibitions,
00:07:47.700 the weapons we are banning today
00:07:49.080 are semi-automatic firearms with sustained rapid-fire capability.
00:07:54.640 Experts have told us that they exceed safe civilian use.
00:07:59.260 In a world filled with uncertainty,
00:08:01.400 my top priority is keeping Canadians safe.
00:08:05.500 Firearms meant for the battlefield should never see the light of day on our streets.
00:08:09.620 Canadians have seen firsthand the devastating impact of these weapons.
00:08:15.040 Canadians are also very well aware of the impact of firearms in the United States.
00:08:20.260 In 2022, there were over 48,000 firearm-related deaths in the U.S.
00:08:26.240 Here in Canada,
00:08:27.540 our federal government has taken action to strengthen gun control
00:08:31.200 and tackle gun violence head-on.
00:08:33.640 All right.
00:08:39.760 Thanks for watching.
