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.
00:00:14.260
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.
00:01:18.420
Most people don't want to sell their legally owned firearms.
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.
00:01:54.080
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.
00:02:13.180
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.
00:03:08.200
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.
00:03:26.540
The feds are blaming law-abiding gun owners for the rise in gun violence.
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,
00:04:04.180
Because criminals are totally going to turn in their illegal weapons, right?
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.
00:05:26.080
it could be a single-dwelling home five years from now,
00:05:30.960
and politicians at some level have to be having a discussion.
00:05:37.120
then perhaps the provincial governments can force them.
00:05:42.360
Why is the Canadian government so obsessed with disarming its own citizens?
00:05:47.360
when has that ever been about public safety and not about control?
00:06:03.560
That's why the Second Amendment in the United States exists.
00:06:07.740
Not just to protect yourself from some random thug in the night,
00:06:14.500
Unarmed population isn't just a deterrent to crime.
00:06:31.100
our federal government banned what is now over 2,000 models of assault-style firearms.
00:06:39.580
our government passed legislation to freeze the market for handguns in Canada,
00:06:45.360
transfer and importation of handguns into the country.
00:06:53.560
banning some of the additional assault-style weapons that remained in the Canadian market.
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.
00:07:15.460
that this be the last discreet listing of assault-style firearms for prohibition.
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.
00:07:36.840
firearms designed specifically to kill as many people as possible
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.
00:08:05.500
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.
00:08:27.540
our federal government has taken action to strengthen gun control
00:08:42.360
Special thanks to those of you who have donated to this project.
