These are people who bought firearms that were legal, and now that they're going to become illegal,
00:00:04.680
they're going to be compensated with a buyback.
00:00:07.500
So I think the discourse and sometimes the misinformation,
00:00:12.000
the misinformation about the fact that somehow gun owners never participate in domestic violence
00:00:18.240
is part of the reason why it's always so difficult to progress on that file.
00:00:22.960
Simply, they're asked to replace a firearm that is becoming illegal
00:00:28.520
with a firearm that's going to be legal and they're going to be compensated for it.
00:00:33.480
So I think it's really important to understand that, you know,
00:00:37.680
law-abiding citizens should welcome the opportunity to abide by the law.
00:00:42.600
But as it stands, we know the best defense for most people is to comply.
00:00:48.900
As you've just heard, a number of safety recommendations
00:00:52.320
will allow for those that are victimizing members in the community to leave and not harm anyone.
00:01:05.020
Meanwhile, in the rest of this dystopian mess called Canada,
00:01:13.140
if someone breaks into your house, just hand the keys over to them and do as you're told.
00:01:18.220
Seriously, leave your car keys at the door, they say.
00:01:30.920
the federal government is busy trying to take away guns from honest, law-abiding citizens.
00:01:39.920
but if you try to protect your family, you're the one who gets in trouble.
00:01:43.340
Now compare that to Florida, where the message is pretty simple.
00:01:48.460
If you break into someone's house, you're not walking out smiling.
00:01:52.740
I praise this husband for doing what he needed to do to protect his home and protect his family.
00:01:59.620
And if you're going to be that brazen to come into my home,
00:02:02.780
once again, you should expect that you're going to be shot.
00:02:06.000
As to the person, we don't know what homeowner, which homeowner shot at him.
00:02:10.040
I guess they think that they did something wrong, which they did not.
00:02:15.680
you're more than welcome to shoot them in Santa Rosa County.
00:02:24.540
We have a gun safety class we put on every other Saturday.
00:02:28.160
And if you take that, you'll shoot a lot better,
00:02:35.100
You enter someone's house uninvited, expect some serious consequences.
00:02:41.280
Meanwhile, Alberta's government continues to take steps to protect the right of their citizens
00:02:48.700
Currently, we have a public safety minister who wants to come and take my legally obtained firearms,
00:02:53.160
which I took a safety course for, legally purchased,
00:02:56.020
but he can't define what a restricted position acquisition license is.
00:02:59.800
He had to recuse himself from a terrorist organization, which is the Tamale Tigers.
00:03:03.320
I will not be handing them over to the federal government
00:03:05.760
because I'm not supposed to give my firearms to criminals.
00:03:12.620
I can't do my sports shooting with 90% of my firearms
00:03:15.300
because I became a criminal overnight with an unjust gun grab fraud.
00:03:18.960
I know that Premier Smith is familiar with the homeowner in Ontario
00:03:22.000
who was just charged with injuring a home intruder who had a crossbow.
00:03:27.340
Canadians are being charged for protecting themselves, their families, and their property
00:03:31.100
and being backed into a corner through submission by the federal government.
00:03:34.320
We're being told to leave our keys beside our unlocked door
00:03:39.560
So where would the Alberta police force stand in relation to the legal firearm owners?
00:03:48.840
Premier, can you address those ones first and then we'll book it?
00:03:54.980
So the proper use of the criminal code power is the way the feds will regulate around,
00:04:04.200
Like there are ways that you can use your car that kill people
00:04:06.560
and they look at that as a criminal penalty and they charge you.
00:04:11.600
They don't come in and say red cars have a disproportionate number of accidents.
00:04:16.380
Therefore, we're going to ban red cars and confiscate them, right?
00:04:20.080
They're able to see that there is one use of that particular piece of property that is criminal
00:04:25.880
and they let us regulate who gets a driver's license and who registers a car.
00:04:30.880
So I'm just going to take that analogy a little bit further.
00:04:33.300
They can regulate the criminal use of firearms.
00:04:35.480
They can go after the bad guys who are breaking into people's houses with crossbows.
00:04:39.040
And we will then regulate the legal use of firearms
00:04:42.140
so you can continue to own them, collect them, use them for sport shooting,
00:04:45.920
use them for hunting, and use them for other purposes.
00:04:49.020
So we're working right now on what a legislative framework
00:04:52.720
for an Alberta firearms license would look like.
00:04:55.260
And we're going to fight it out because property and civil rights
00:04:58.580
are our jurisdiction under section 91 of the Constitution.
00:05:10.060
But that is, as you've seen, we have already taken action in that regard.
00:05:15.560
We told the municipalities, no, you can't have a handgun ban.
00:05:20.760
We told the RCMP, no, you cannot participate in the confiscation scheme.
00:05:26.880
We have told municipal forces, if you want to participate in the confiscation scheme,
00:05:30.660
you have to come and get a permit from the justice minister.
00:05:35.780
There is a piece that we're missing because Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe
00:05:39.300
said that any of the mail delivery services were not allowed to convey these firearms.
00:05:44.440
We're going to have to change our legislation to make sure that that's not a loophole
00:05:50.900
and we will do everything we possibly can to make it as difficult as possible
00:05:55.220
for anyone to get the permit that they need to participate in that program.
00:05:58.360
That's our ability to do that, using our ability to regulate on professions.
00:06:02.160
So, in short, you'll see that us and Saskatchewan are going to do whatever we can
00:06:06.960
to make sure that we're defending firearms owners' rights.
00:06:11.920
so just have some patience because we know how important that is.
00:06:15.280
We just have a different approach we want to take in Alberta,
00:06:17.520
and I think that that is what the Constitution allows,
00:06:24.420
And recently we've also learned that the Liberal government updated numbers
00:06:27.780
is showing that currently the government's plan to confiscate lawfully-owned firearms
00:06:34.260
from the illegal gun owner community is costing upwards of $75 million thus far,
00:06:39.440
and yet not a single firearm has been purchased from a lawful owner.
00:06:43.340
And, in fact, no impact has been had, of course,
00:06:45.560
on the criminals and illegal gun trade that's going on.
00:06:50.000
Can you comment on what the Toronto Police Service would do
00:07:00.300
We completely feel that the current gun ban buyback program
00:07:04.700
has zero impact on crime in the city of Toronto.
00:07:07.940
So here you have one of the leaders of law enforcement in Canada
00:07:11.380
informing the federal government that their ridiculous plan
00:07:14.820
to confiscate the firearms from law-abiding citizens
00:07:17.700
is doing nothing to stop the real criminals in the streets of Toronto,
00:07:21.960
which have seen a sharp increase in violent crime recently.
00:07:25.540
This so-called buyback program isn't only ridiculous,
00:07:30.960
because the real criminals would never hand their guns to the government,
00:07:39.240
if it really isn't for the sake of public safety.
