Transcript

00:00:00.000 Thousands of law-abiding firearms owners demonstrate for their rights in Quebec.
00:00:06.400 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gun Show.
00:00:08.520 Last weekend in Quebec City, thousands of some of the safest people in the entire country
00:00:33.900 protested the Liberal government.
00:00:38.380 Now, that's been happening, it feels like, constantly since at least early 2020.
00:00:45.280 But this time it was a little unusual in that it was licensed law-abiding firearms owners in Quebec
00:00:54.980 protesting the Liberal government's most recent gun grab
00:00:59.860 and their own government's collaboration in it.
00:01:05.440 Our own Alexa Lavoie was there to document the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights organized event
00:01:14.740 last weekend in Quebec City and give voice to the people who simply want to be treated fairly under the law
00:01:23.260 and who think that snatching the guns, lawfully acquired by some of the safest people in the country,
00:01:32.580 well, that's not going to do anything to make Canadian streets any safer.
00:01:36.500 So joining me now in an interview we recorded yesterday morning
00:01:39.240 is my friend, my colleague, one of the hardest-working people I know, Alexa Lavoie.
00:01:43.640 Why do you drive all the way here in Quebec?
00:01:58.820 Yeah, to support the Quebec firearms owners, they're licensed, they're legal, they're not criminals.
00:02:05.120 Quebec government, they're very closely connected to the Liberals
00:02:09.340 and there's a lot of Liberal supporters that are in Quebec
00:02:13.620 and the federal government wants to appease the Liberal supporters.
00:02:18.420 It's all politics.
00:02:20.200 Gary, in that degree, he's been on record saying this is all politics, that it won't work.
00:02:25.920 And he's right, it won't work.
00:02:27.060 I wanted to redo this from scratch, right?
00:02:31.140 I would have a very different impression.
00:02:32.480 We came to Quebec first because the government of Quebec has signed a deal
00:02:37.120 to help the federal government take firearms from their own people.
00:02:42.440 Instead of from criminals, they're going to take the guns of law-abiding Quebecers.
00:02:47.020 Quebecers do not deserve this.
00:02:48.460 They deserve better from their government.
00:02:50.900 So if the gun grab starts in Quebec, let's see it end in Quebec.
00:02:54.200 The importance of doing this in Quebec is really because Quebec is where the problem sort of started
00:03:00.060 and this is where we want the problem to end.
00:03:03.500 So joining me now is my friend and colleague, Alexa Lavoie,
00:03:07.160 and she's here to talk about a massive pro-firearms rights rally
00:03:12.260 that took place in Quebec of all places.
00:03:16.080 As a Westerner, sometimes I think that all of our problems related to firearms rights
00:03:21.280 comes from lobbyists in Quebec, but there is a huge pro-firearms community in Quebec
00:03:30.340 and they are, just like the rest of us, tired of being scapegoated
00:03:33.600 for the federal government's inability to deal with crime in this country.
00:03:39.160 And Alexa Lavoie was there to document it all.
00:03:41.880 Alexa, thanks for joining me on the show today.
00:03:44.980 Tell me about the protest, who organized it, how many people were there?
00:03:49.840 It was organized by CCFR, mainly the part from Quebec,
00:03:56.520 and with the help of the rest of the CCFR team,
00:04:04.220 a lot of people were there, I think thousands of them, maybe 2,000, 3,000.
00:04:09.180 I don't have the exact numbers,
00:04:12.080 but I know that there were some bus organized to all drive to Quebec City.
00:04:18.120 And I was actually surprised to see the number of people there.
00:04:23.460 And I saw families, I saw women,
00:04:27.180 because most of the time people are seeing as this kind of movement mainly with men.
00:04:33.260 But no, I was kind of surprised.
00:04:34.620 It was really a mix.
00:04:36.320 A young woman that liked to go with their father
00:04:41.520 and go to just doing some shooting sports.
00:04:45.260 It was actually like a really beautiful day.
00:04:49.400 I even saw a goat.
00:04:53.820 A protest goat.
00:04:57.360 You know, just to put a pin on what you said about young women being at these rallies,
00:05:02.460 the single largest demographic,
00:05:05.760 the fastest growing demographic of firearms owners in this country is young women.
00:05:12.440 Young women are getting more and more interested in the shooting sports.
00:05:16.020 And, you know, if you are a young woman in Alberta
00:05:18.940 and you have a criminal break into your house,
00:05:25.260 you don't have to presume the benevolence of that criminal inside of your house.
00:05:30.480 You can use your firearm to defend yourself and not be prosecuted.
00:05:34.200 But that's an Alberta-centric thing.
00:05:36.600 But I understand why more young women would be getting into the shooting sports,
00:05:41.400 given that crime seems to be out of control in this country.
00:05:45.420 Yes, and this is, I think, there is also the side of we are demonizing
00:05:55.300 and diabolizing firearm owners.
00:05:58.820 And when you are doing this, you are creating a little bit that destroys an effect.
00:06:05.540 For sure.
00:06:06.180 That more you are doing this, more people will actually go to the other side
00:06:09.980 and try to say, hey, why are they doing this?
00:06:13.320 Why not trying?
00:06:15.740 And, you know, I'm pretty sure that a lot of them fall in love with this sport.
00:06:20.580 And, you know, I think it's, I love it.
00:06:23.440 I've been there like a couple of times to do like some sports shooting
00:06:28.780 and I actually enjoyed it.
00:06:30.540 And, you know, I think it's just because when you try to hide something,
00:06:35.400 you are creating the opposite effect.
00:06:38.660 Oh, for sure.
00:06:39.600 Um, that's my advice to most people is if you've got a liberal, open-minded friend,
00:06:45.280 take them to the gun range because it's fun.
00:06:48.300 It's really fun.
00:06:49.420 It will change their attitude on firearms rights.
00:06:52.920 And, um, you know, you hear from the federal government all the time that,
00:06:56.880 you know, we have to keep women safe.
00:06:59.300 So we have to get guns off the street.
00:07:01.320 Um, firearms are the great equalizer for a smaller woman versus a larger male criminal.
00:07:08.180 But also if you look at the CCFR itself, it's, uh, it's a women-led organization.
00:07:14.480 No offense, Rod Giltaka.
00:07:16.120 We love you.
00:07:16.880 But Tracy Wilson, um, is with the CCFR.
00:07:20.920 We know her.
00:07:21.500 We love her.
00:07:22.040 She's one of the strongest fighters for firearms rights in this country.
00:07:24.620 And even in Quebec, their director, Sophie Balland, she's the Quebec director of the
00:07:30.300 Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights.
00:07:32.960 And, uh, so this is really, uh, uh, a, a, a movement that features women prominently.
00:07:42.820 And it sort of cuts through that garbage on the other side that says, you know, we've,
00:07:46.660 we've got to take the guns away from everybody to keep women safe.
00:07:50.040 And the, the women are saying, yeah, don't do that to us.
00:07:53.080 We like our guns.
00:07:54.180 But the main problem in all this situation is because of the mainstream media.
00:07:59.680 For sure.
00:07:59.960 Why I'm saying that, I don't know.
00:08:01.660 I think it was the Toronto Star who literally say our weapon are not for sale when it was
00:08:09.340 actually our guns are not for sale, um, by modifying their slogans to bring weapon instead
00:08:18.480 of guns, uh, and also just before the gathering, there were some journalists questioning the
00:08:25.120 mayor of Quebec, trying to portray all the people as dangerous individuals, uh, and kind
00:08:33.440 of questioning the mayor saying like, you're not scared, you're not concerned that they are going
00:08:39.120 to be protesting or gathering in front of the national assembly.
00:08:44.760 Well, why, why are you trying to portray them as dangerous individuals when they are just
00:08:52.140 going to peacefully gathered to ask the government to remove themselves from the buyback program
00:09:02.220 and to not cooperate with Ottawa.
00:09:04.720 I don't know if you saw also, but our public safety minister, Yann Lafreniere, did publish
00:09:12.660 a couple of days before the gathering that it was just for facilitating the buyback program.
00:09:20.540 The people wanted to actually, um, subscribe to it, but they say that they will not allow
00:09:27.280 Ottawa to have access to the registry and that no one will come to confiscate their guns.
00:09:34.400 But the thing is, some people are actually say on, on the ground that probably is a mistake
00:09:41.500 on his side because it's a federal jurisdiction.
00:09:45.560 So if they decide to send the RCMP to grab the guns, the province have nothing to say.
00:09:53.860 Right.
00:09:54.660 Well, I mean, Alberta has something to say about it.
00:09:58.340 Saskatchewan has something to say about it.
00:10:00.300 Yukon has something to say about it.
00:10:02.280 But we really haven't heard all that much from Quebec.
00:10:05.720 So, um, Sophie Blunt says that she's been in contact with the Quebec public safety minister
00:10:12.580 and she feels that he is listening to her.
00:10:15.520 And that's a really big step.
00:10:17.120 But Quebec is the only province that has agreed to participate in the buyback wholeheartedly.
00:10:23.660 Other provinces like my own have said, the hell we're participating in this.
00:10:28.040 Our police have better things to do than go after people who are vetted every single day.
00:10:35.060 And, you know, firearms owners in this country were a problem.
00:10:38.140 You'd already know about us.
00:10:39.340 There's 2.2 million of us.
00:10:41.420 Um, but Quebec has agreed that they will go along with this.
00:10:46.560 So even if Quebec doesn't turn over its own provincial registry information,
00:10:51.160 the federal government does hold information on who has, uh, restricted firearms that have moved to prohibited, like the AR.
00:11:03.300 And they also just generally have a list of who has a PAL and or our PAL.
00:11:08.560 So they could go door to door if they wanted to do to.
00:11:12.940 And Quebec said, yeah, okay, that's fine with us.
00:11:16.920 Yeah.
00:11:17.720 And it's so funny because usually Quebec would be the last province to follow what Ottawa is saying.
00:11:25.700 But for this one, Quebec was the only one saying yes.
00:11:30.420 Why not?
00:11:31.140 They literally took the money and sold the firearm owners.
00:11:37.820 The people who actually are complying to the law, who are the most, you know, responsible citizen.
00:11:47.860 And they know they can't do any mistakes.
00:11:51.040 They know that they need to be really, really responsible.
00:11:54.980 And we are going full speed and we are punishing them.
00:12:00.920 And I saw some criticism of the rally from the likes of Pauly Sissouviant, which is Natalie Provo, who's a liberal MP.
00:12:12.140 That's her old organization.
00:12:14.600 And, you know, when they elicited Natalie Provo to run for the liberals, I knew that they would be rushing headfirst into the gun grab and not backing off from it.
00:12:22.660 But they were critical of the rally going forward, even though the rally was planned well in advance because of the Tumblr Ridge shooting.
00:12:33.500 Paul, I'll just read you the statement from Pauly Sissouviant.
00:12:36.500 They said, it's shameful that in the wake of this tragedy, pro-gun groups are choosing this moment to continue their campaign to prevent the removal of assault weapons.
00:12:48.060 There's a 410 on the list that are commonly used in mass shootings and have been banned for public safety reasons.
00:12:55.840 Oh, they're banned, but we still have them.
00:12:58.660 So it's not a public safety issue.
00:13:00.660 You prohibited them from us, but we still have them in our possession and we're not killing people with them.
00:13:07.860 To her credit, though, Sophie Belen said, we stand in solidarity with British Columbia.
00:13:11.800 We are all affected.
00:13:12.640 And that is precisely why we're here, because what happened in British Columbia should never happen again.
00:13:17.100 It's a failure on the parts of government and legislation.
00:13:20.220 It's a mental health issue, not a problem with legal weapons.
00:13:23.280 And we've talked about this before.
00:13:24.860 Why did those firearms stay in the house of the Tumblr Ridge shooter, where the Tumblr Ridge shooter, who was not the owner of those firearms, had access to them after dozens of points of contact between that family and the RCMP, including an arson on the family household, while the Tumblr Ridge shooter was under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms.
00:13:52.440 Like, why those guns were ever in that household is beyond me.
00:13:56.560 And hopefully one day we have a national inquiry into the several layers of failure that took place there.
00:14:04.440 But it absolutely has nothing to do with people like me who have their firearms properly secured.
00:14:10.260 And if firearms rights are going to be infringed because the police and doctors and the school and perhaps ChatGPT failed to do their job in Tumblr Ridge, now is the time to stand up and say, it wasn't us.
00:14:26.920 We are not the problem.
00:14:56.900 We will enforce it.
00:14:58.900 We will enforce it.
00:14:59.900 And we will make sure that the legislation and the regulations that are already in place are actually applied properly.
00:15:05.900 Oh, no, we are just going to go further and remove the guns from the legal gun owners.
00:15:12.900 So this is actually one of the big problems.
00:15:15.900 It's like, instead of doing things properly, they are just saying, but we don't have actually enough resources.
00:15:26.900 We're just going further and just remove the guns.
00:15:29.900 So it would be easier and we don't need to put more resources to enforce regulation and legislation.
00:15:35.900 Right.
00:15:37.900 Quebec is participating in the firearms buyback to the tune of $12.4 million.
00:15:46.900 That money could go a hell of a long way in staffing up police services or cracking down on crime, hiring more crown prosecutors to make sure that people are shoved through the legal system in a timely way instead of having their cases time out and then having them walk free.
00:16:06.520 I think that would go, maybe let's secure the border.
00:16:10.520 Why don't we try to do something like that?
00:16:12.520 Because that's where all the illegal firearms are ending up in the hands of gangs.
00:16:17.520 I'm sorry, but this is Akwasasne and Akwasasne, there is a really few desire from our law enforcement and our government to crack down on a native land.
00:16:31.520 But the thing is, we know where is the problem, but because we don't want to go over there by what fear we prefer to go against and chase the people who comply to the law.
00:16:47.520 Right, because they know we'll follow the law.
00:16:49.520 We're the path of least resistance.
00:16:51.520 And that's what lazy lawmakers do.
00:16:53.520 They take the easy way instead of doing the thing that they need to do to keep communities safe.
00:16:59.520 $12.4 million could make a dent in some of the violent crime happening in Quebec.
00:17:06.520 But the Quebec government has said that it is better spent harassing nice people who just want to target shoot or hunt with their families and subsistence hunt because the groceries are so expensive, thanks to Mark Carney's spending habits.
00:17:22.520 Tell me what is some of the feedback you're getting from the people on the ground that you talked to?
00:17:27.520 Yeah.
00:17:28.520 A lot of them were saying like, we are not criminals.
00:17:32.520 We actually comply to the law.
00:17:34.520 We are so responsible.
00:17:36.520 So now on October 30, we are going to be deemed criminal because we don't want to give our guns.
00:17:46.520 Guns that we actually did all the steps to be able to own a firearm.
00:17:53.520 A lot of them, they say like, you know, we don't understand.
00:17:58.520 They don't address the issue.
00:18:00.520 They are taking the least resistance path.
00:18:07.520 A lot of them were saying like, there is a rise on mental illness.
00:18:14.520 I don't understand with the rise of mental illnesses in Canada and the fact that there is a problem with illegal guns smuggling at the border.
00:18:27.520 Why in this whole world, why it's the one person that they are going against and not the 99% of the problem.
00:18:41.520 And so a lot of people don't understand.
00:18:44.520 They say that people should stand up because it's not because you are not interested in two firearms that you should not be actually concerned that maybe what would be next.
00:18:55.520 What they will actually ban after.
00:18:58.520 What they will actually coerce you to give up.
00:19:03.520 Like, what is it your car?
00:19:05.520 Because your car is pollinating.
00:19:07.520 Is it your boat?
00:19:09.520 What is next?
00:19:10.520 So a lot of people were saying like, people should rise at this moment.
00:19:15.520 People should be aware that this is like a violation of the rights that people have.
00:19:22.520 And that they are not the problem.
00:19:26.520 They are not the problem of this situation in Canada with the crimes.
00:19:31.520 Right.
00:19:32.520 We're not the problem.
00:19:33.520 We've never been the problem.
00:19:34.520 And if we were the problem, you don't know about it by now because there's too many of us.
00:19:38.520 But you are right.
00:19:40.520 This, even if you weren't a firearms owner, are you just going to sit there and watch while your fellow Canadians are scapegoated for crimes they didn't commit?
00:19:48.520 Are you just going to sit there and watch and do nothing while a group of people are targeted by the government, even though they didn't do anything wrong?
00:19:56.520 Because, yes, it will be you next.
00:19:58.520 Like they're banning some of these firearms simply because they look cool.
00:20:02.520 Yeah.
00:20:03.520 People should care, even if they aren't firearms owners, because you should care if a group of your fellow Canadian citizens are being scapegoated for crimes that they didn't commit or that their property is being confiscated for no reason whatsoever.
00:20:19.520 They're not criminals.
00:20:20.520 And if you don't care about that, then like I can't help you because it could be you next for something that you didn't do.
00:20:29.520 One of those firearms on the order in council is a 410 bird gun, like a tiny bird gun.
00:20:38.520 You would not use this for duck hunting.
00:20:40.520 And it's only on there because it looks cool.
00:20:43.520 So to put this into context for other people, maybe you have a black car and it looks really cool and it looks fast, but it might not be fast.
00:20:54.520 And then the government comes along and bans it because you might one day drive it fast, even though it doesn't have the capacity to drive fast.
00:21:03.520 That's what's happening to firearms owners right now.
00:21:06.520 And they're losing family heirlooms that way.
00:21:08.520 They're losing parts of their family history.
00:21:10.520 So even if you don't care about firearms, maybe you care about property rights, but maybe you care about fairness and fair treatment at the hands of the government under the law.
00:21:21.520 And right now that's not happening to the firearms community.
00:21:24.520 Yeah.
00:21:25.520 And people need to understand that whatever the type of gun they shoot, you can actually kill someone, whatever the type of gun.
00:21:36.520 Okay.
00:21:37.520 This is just because aesthetic bring people to want to remove some gun that looks scary for the population.
00:21:47.520 Okay.
00:21:48.520 But at the end of the day, all guns can actually cause harm.
00:21:55.520 So this is not a problem with guns at the end of the day.
00:21:59.520 It's a problem because the guns look scary.
00:22:03.520 Right.
00:22:04.520 And so a population that is misinformed, we don't know that there is so many levels of regulation and restriction.
00:22:14.520 And there is a lot of safeguard for the people who actually own a gun in Canada.
00:22:21.520 A lot of people would agree saying like, well, you know, less gun in circulation in Canada.
00:22:27.520 But the thing is, you're going to remove the one person that is not the problem.
00:22:32.520 You will still have like 99% of guns circulating in Canada who is used to commit crimes.
00:22:39.520 So you need to start questioning yourself.
00:22:44.520 Like, what do you want your government to do to stop the crime or to punish law abiding citizen?
00:22:54.520 Because both don't go together.
00:22:58.520 You know that legal guns, it's being used for 1% of what homicide and suicide.
00:23:06.520 1%.
00:23:07.520 Right.
00:23:08.520 The 99% is not being addressed.
00:23:11.520 And this is all politics.
00:23:14.520 Yeah.
00:23:15.520 They think that by using that and being a big show and saying like, you know, we are doing something regarding the guns.
00:23:23.520 We are going to remove part of it.
00:23:27.520 They think that since the population is misinformed, they would gain vote.
00:23:32.520 That's it.
00:23:33.520 That's up.
00:23:35.520 Well, and you talk about the population being misinformed and that's true.
00:23:40.520 I think a lot of people who don't know about guns don't have a clue about the hoops that we have to jump through.
00:23:46.520 So who then would be informing the public?
00:23:50.520 The public safety minister, who also doesn't know anything about firearms laws, including the hoops we have to jump through to be able to own them.
00:24:01.520 And, you know, when you say it's all political, that is true.
00:24:06.520 They don't, they being the liberals, they don't stand to lose any votes by stepping all over the firearms community to appease misinformed urban dwellers in places like Montreal, because firearms owners by and large don't vote for gun grabbers.
00:24:25.520 I mean, there's no political cost to the liberals to doing this unless liberal voters start caring about the rights of other people and start caring about the cost to do this when the funds could be ending up in the hands of police to help them do their jobs.
00:24:44.520 I think that's that's where things will change.
00:24:47.520 Alexa, thanks so much for giving voice to the firearms owning community in Montreal and for reminding me out here in the West that not everybody is a crazy person in Quebec and in Montreal.
00:25:03.520 And that's that for the most part, we're all the same.
00:25:07.520 We're just all tired of the liberals stepping all over our rights.
00:25:11.520 And it's a good gut check.
00:25:13.520 And it's it's one of those moments of national unity when you see people just like yourself in an exotic city like Quebec standing up to the federal government.
00:25:24.520 It was good for me to see that.
00:25:25.520 And I appreciate you for doing the work.
00:25:27.520 And, you know, it's it's part of our heritage.
00:25:31.520 Oh, sure.
00:25:32.520 You know, we we are hunter.
00:25:34.520 In the past, we were hunting.
00:25:38.520 We we always been hunter.
00:25:41.520 We are Nordic country.
00:25:44.520 We're founded on the fur trade.
00:25:46.520 We were founded on the fur trade.
00:25:48.520 Let us not forget that this is who we are.
00:25:50.520 And erasing this is erasing a part of our hunting heritage.
00:25:53.520 And, you know, leave it to the people who pull down statues to be perfectly open to doing that again to Alexa.
00:26:03.520 Thanks so much.
00:26:04.520 I know you got a story to get to.
00:26:05.520 So I'll say bye.
00:26:06.520 Bye bye.
00:26:07.520 Well, as always, the last portion of my show belongs to you at home, because without you, there's no rebel news.
00:26:21.520 So I better care what you have to say about the work that we do around here.
00:26:26.520 If you want to send me viewer feedback on the show today, I sure would appreciate it.
00:26:30.520 Send it to Sheila at rebel news dot com.
00:26:33.520 Put gun show letters in the subject line.
00:26:35.520 So I know exactly why you're emailing me.
00:26:37.520 But don't let that be the only way that you provide viewer feedback to us.
00:26:41.520 In fact, if you share the free clips of the show with your friends, which is very helpful in building our subscriber base, encourage them to leave comments on YouTube or Rumble or wherever you're finding those free clips of the show.
00:26:57.520 Now, I don't always take viewer feedback on just this show.
00:27:03.520 I take it on all the work, right?
00:27:05.520 So Alexa and I in our interview, we touched briefly on Tumblr Ridge and the shooting there and how the left and the anti gun activists have been using the Tumblr Ridge tragedy to push forward a gun control agenda, but also to silence gun rights advocates as though we're the problem.
00:27:26.520 When Tumblr Ridge when it is very clear that there have been many failings of the systems there from the education system to the medical system to the RCMP, the justice system, mental health care and even AI to a certain extent.
00:27:47.520 A lot of balls were dropped for the Tumblr Ridge shooting to have happened.
00:27:57.520 So, the other day on the live stream, which is every day at 11 Mountain, 1 Eastern, Alexa was on the show with me there and we were talking about how the liberals are really focused on blaming AI, chat GPT in particular, for what happened in Tumblr Ridge.
00:28:18.480 And I think there's a lot of blame to go around, including how a family with so many points of contact with the RCMP had firearms in the household after they had been taken once.
00:28:32.480 And, you know, there's some unclear details about whether or not the firearm used in the shooting was one of the firearms returned by the RCMP to that household, but it's, I'm of the opinion that there should not have been firearms in that household, given the severe mental health crisis unfolding for years inside of that house.
00:28:57.680 Now, is that an RCMP failing? Is it a family failing? Is it a both?
00:29:04.440 I think there, as I said, I think there's a lot of blame to go around, but I wanted to look at your comments on a clip of the live stream where Alexa and I discussed this.
00:29:13.520 So, Charlene Miller, 7059, my spouse is the only person in my home with keys and access to our gun safe.
00:29:20.940 He's the only person with knowledge of where the keys are and I'm good with that.
00:29:24.960 Okay, if that's how you set it up in your family, that's fine.
00:29:27.680 Ma'am, if you're home alone, though, I would like you to have access to that firearm safe.
00:29:36.300 Having them properly secured is a minimum requirement next to being owned by a properly licensed owner.
00:29:41.680 Yes.
00:29:43.000 Storage requirements are strict and important.
00:29:47.340 In fact, sometimes I think they're a little too strict, given your inability to get to them quick enough to defend yourself.
00:29:59.240 But, in particular, when you have other people in the household who should not have access to those firearms, proper security of those firearms is so important.
00:30:10.680 And, you know, it's a family decision to decide who has access to the gun safe.
00:30:15.220 And if, in your family, you don't want access to it, well, then that's your business.
00:30:21.560 But, I'm not sure that that happened in Tumblr Ridge.
00:30:29.860 If it did, okay.
00:30:31.040 But I still have questions about why those firearms were ever returned to that family.
00:30:34.440 Arnold Anderson, 1501, says,
00:30:39.100 I find the Liberal government so corrupt and incompetent that this event doesn't surprise me at all.
00:30:43.840 Incompetent because they gave back firearms to a family that obviously had no right to any type of weapons.
00:30:50.080 And corrupt because the government will use this same event to say,
00:30:52.920 this is why we need to remove legal firearms, owners, guns.
00:30:56.080 Yes.
00:30:57.360 Yes.
00:30:59.380 You know, and here's the thing, and I said this in the clip.
00:31:04.680 So, I think it's obvious that the shooter was not the licensed owner of those firearms in the household.
00:31:14.740 And I should note, it is unclear if he used those firearms to commit the crimes.
00:31:20.460 But, a responsible firearm owner would not petition the court to have those firearms back in the household.
00:31:32.720 Just given the gravity and the danger of what was unfolding with dozens of points of contact with the RCMP mental health crisis.
00:31:41.220 And the fact that the shooter burned the family home while on psychedelic mushrooms the year prior.
00:31:47.860 Really, there was a lot going on.
00:31:51.400 I'm not sure that, well, I am sure that if I had a similar scenario unfolding in my household with one of my children,
00:32:00.520 that I would have those firearms back in the home.
00:32:04.280 Just for the safety of everybody involved, I would store them elsewhere.
00:32:08.400 If they're mine, I would petition the court to have them back and then have them somewhere else where I knew that they were safe.
00:32:19.260 With someone who cares about securing firearms the same way I do.
00:32:24.500 And I'm not sure that that happened in Tumblr Ridge.
00:32:27.060 The Imaginarium Network 5621, we'll see independent inquiries have a way of petering out in Canada and also being completely not independent.
00:32:42.120 You know, we see friends of the federal government appointed to head these independent inquiries or people holding the independent inquiries.
00:32:54.400 And then the inquiry goes the way that the government wants it to go.
00:33:01.480 Wank, wink, wink.
00:33:02.800 And then that person gets a sweet appointment with the federal government.
00:33:07.100 That's what happened to Justice Marie Hogue.
00:33:09.600 With her inquiry.
00:33:17.300 And so that was the foreign interference inquiry.
00:33:20.200 And then with the Public Order Emergency Commission.
00:33:23.660 It was a friend of Justin Trudeau's family that went skiing together.
00:33:28.680 Headed to adjudicate the independent inquiry.
00:33:33.980 And then, you know, everything came out the exact way the government wanted to.
00:33:40.200 But when a real judge in a real court looked at it and then another set of justices in another real court looked at it.
00:33:48.620 Yes, the Emergencies Act was illegally invoked on the citizens of Canada.
00:33:56.140 Although, you know, the inquiry found that everything was just fine and dandy.
00:34:01.800 It's funny how things work out that way.
00:34:03.980 Hilda Harkin writes,
00:34:08.520 Too many mentally ill lunatics on the loose.
00:34:10.420 The justice system is too easy on them.
00:34:12.920 Yeah.
00:34:14.820 Yep.
00:34:16.060 That's for sure.
00:34:17.920 I don't even have anything to add to that.
00:34:21.260 We've got to make asylums cool again.
00:34:25.500 Gerald Talzma, 7055.
00:34:29.960 The liberal, I guess, government is very corrupt along with the BCNDP.
00:34:34.420 Yeah.
00:34:34.820 They wouldn't want any of the fingers of blame pointing at them, would they?
00:34:38.660 And Warren Fabian, 6681, says,
00:34:45.600 Gender-affirming pharma are part of the problem.
00:34:49.260 Also, children need a proper environment and parental guidance to thrive.
00:34:52.960 Yes, and yes, and yes.
00:34:54.740 Today's kids are often left to their own electronic devices.
00:34:57.720 Yes, also a huge problem.
00:34:59.260 His brother is also a weirdo to be watched.
00:35:02.120 His brother was just arrested on a Canada-wide warrant for breaching his conditions because he was out on release for the crime of attempted homicide out of Grand Prairie, Alberta.
00:35:22.800 So, there's a lot going on in that family.
00:35:26.340 A whole lot.
00:35:27.560 But yes, you are right.
00:35:28.440 And the more we know about children's exposure to screens early, especially short videos, the more we should take the screens away from the youngsters.
00:35:37.500 For sure.
00:35:38.860 Gender-affirming pharma, also a problem.
00:35:43.440 SSRIs on the developing brain, also a problem.
00:35:47.420 There's a lot of blame, as I keep saying, to go around in Tumblr Ridge.
00:35:53.600 And I just don't know if it will ever be properly assigned when it's easiest to assign it to ChatGPT and me, as in me, a licensed firearms owner.
00:36:03.920 Well, everybody, that's the show for tonight.
00:36:05.520 Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:36:06.920 I'll see everybody back here in the same time, in the same place next week.
00:36:09.700 And as always, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
00:36:13.420 And as always, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
