The Liberal government has announced it is cracking down further on its gun control measures. This past week, hundreds of firearm models and variants were added to the government s list of banned weapons. Meanwhile, the thugs and gang members keep getting their hands on illegal guns.
00:00:25.920I'll stipulate, Chair, that is the Canadian's firearm safety course that all gun owners in Canada have to do to get their firearms license.
00:00:32.340Has the Minister ever done the Canadian firearm safety course?
00:00:59.940Today, the government is adding a further 324 unique makes and models of assault-style firearms to the list of prohibited firearms in Canada.
00:01:16.480Well, anyone who's been paying attention to Canada, even for a little bit, could have seen this coming.
00:01:35.860The Canadian federal government seems dead set on disarming its own citizens.
00:02:36.720The move has further upset legal gun owners who say most gun-based crimes are committed with illegally procured handguns often coming from the United States.
00:02:46.160Rod Giltak of the Canadian Centre for Firearm Rights says the federal government also seems to have problems identifying which guns are assault weapons and which are not.
00:02:55.220If you look through that list, there are countless .22 caliber rifles.
00:02:58.600These are rifles that you would give to 12-year-old kids that are just learning about firearms.
00:03:03.400These are not overwhelmingly weapons of war.
00:03:06.040This is just everything that they don't like.
00:03:08.120I guess this is part of their effort to try to, again, gaslight Canadians.
00:03:13.700You know, like if you're for Ukraine, then you're for the gun ban and you're for the gun confiscation.
00:03:19.040Now, here's the part where things get real twisted.
00:05:32.620There's grassroots groups like the Alberta Black Hats, who rolled up their sleeves and pushed for this.
00:05:38.740They worked hard to get those rights enshrined, not just for themselves, but for every rancher, hunter, and homeowner across this province.
00:05:48.160That's what real community looks like.
00:05:50.080So the Black Hats is just a grassroots organization that literally designed the new Bill of Rights.
00:05:57.100So what we did was we built it, and then we basically brought it to the premier.
00:06:02.300So the premier assigned a member of the government to help us with this, and now she's tabling it in the fall session.
00:06:08.840Now inside the Bill of Rights is going to be the right to bear arms, is how it reads.
00:06:14.200So that's of interest to NFA members, and that's how we partnered.
00:06:18.720So what's happened is we asked for support at the AGM in Red Deer on the 1st and 2nd of November from gun owners,
00:06:26.280and it appears that we may have gotten some.
00:06:28.600The last two days of the sign-up for the early bird, we had 1,200 people sign.
00:06:34.720So be aware that this is now going to be the largest political event in the history of Canada.
00:06:39.280So there's approximately 5,600 people going now, so, you know, last year we had 37, and it was the biggest.
00:06:46.140Bear in mind, though, that this is also done by grassroots people, but not by politicians.
00:06:50.200So these are the people that got hurt.
00:06:51.840These are the people that understand what happened during COVID.
00:06:53.880These are the people that don't want to lose their rights and freedoms.
00:06:56.160So this is a by the people, for the people type of document.
00:06:59.740Yes, it's going to go to government, but then the government is going to have to amend it and change it.
00:07:03.680But by showing up to the AGM and supporting it,
00:07:05.980what's going to happen is that we're likely to keep it more as is.
00:07:09.280And so it's important to us and to you and to every Albertan.
00:07:13.020Well, she states publicly that she's the most freedom-thinking premier in Canada.
00:07:16.960And I would have to say that she's probably the most freedom-thinking premier in the free world, actually, right now.
00:07:21.880I'm sure there's some Americans that rival that, but definitely in Canada.
00:07:25.980And I would say that, you know what, while she's there, we have the opportunity to do this stuff.
00:07:30.420I would like to take this opportunity so that all gun owners understand the kind of power that they would have
00:07:36.540if they would unite and get involved in politics in any way, shape, or form.
