On today's episode of The Krusty Connect Podcast, we will be discussing the proposed gun freeze, brain freeze, and the Liberal government's outlandish ways to censor us again. Coming up: Gun Freeze, Brain Freeze, Episode 175, The Liberal Government's Further Outreach on People's Property and Way of Life, All that and more.
00:03:34.760But because of what happened in the United States, in Buffalo, in Uvalid, I'm pronouncing it right, in Texas, the massacres of those innocent people.
00:05:08.460But this legislation, you know, this cap, whatever you want to call it, the freeze, the brain freeze, because they never really thought about the long-term effects of this.
00:05:18.920This freeze isn't going to help us, folk.
00:05:23.700Now, I'll leave links in my description on what Ron Gattaca from the CCFR, Canadian Coalition of Firearms Rights, has said.
00:05:31.540And you can watch that yourself and make your own decision and formulate your own opinion, as anyone should.
00:05:36.000But he more or less validates that between now and, I think, September, you can get, you can still go out and buy a gun, buy some ammo, parts thereof, and all that, if you're a licensed gun owner, right, until they pass this legislation, probably in September.
00:05:51.860Because Parliament is probably going to take another break, like they always do, right, take another couple months off to worry about their money and how they're getting paid and all that stuff, before they actually pass this law.
00:06:02.880Now, we have to wait and see if it's going to become law or not, but Rod Gattaca out of the CCFR explains it very, very well to the masses.
00:06:14.020Now, I'm just going to put something up here from Mr. Trudeau that he said on May 31st.
00:06:18.440Now, listen carefully to what he says about disinformation and misinformation, as always, right?
00:06:25.320This is our beloved Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen.
00:06:28.820Pay attention carefully to what he says, right?
00:06:32.880How many handguns are purchased between now and when the legislation passes?
00:06:37.460We're going to continue to collect data and monitor, as we always do.
00:06:41.840We're hopeful that this legislation is going to pass quickly so we can move forward with freezing the market on handguns.
00:06:53.900I'm dissing my French speakers out there.
00:06:55.580The reality is that we are working very well in partnership with the government of Quebec.
00:07:02.940The Quebec has set its own goals for immigration.
00:07:06.400It's of course that a country has to continue to have a word to say on immigration, but we are very happy to be able to share this responsibility in the case of Quebec.
00:07:17.020Because the protection of the French and the French immigration is important for us.
00:07:22.840So, it's a campaign of power, according to you, Mr. Lejeune?
00:07:25.840I think we're going to continue to continue to try to work in a positive way in partnership with the provinces.
00:07:33.260It's my approach, and I'm going to continue to do it.
00:07:35.660I think people need to be careful about misinformation and disinformation in this.
00:07:53.480We've explicitly and specifically not targeted law-abiding firearms owners because those who currently own and operate handguns safely and store them safely are not at all targeted by this legislation.
00:08:07.080We're simply saying that we are freezing the market, and in the future, it will not be possible to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns in Canada.
00:09:24.220Now, the liberal government has never, ever been a fan of lawful gun ownership in this country.
00:09:29.600And yet, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau was an advocate for guns, for himself, anyway.
00:09:38.120You know, I'm not so sure about the Canadian populace at the time, but I also know in the 1977, owning an automatic rifle, meaning the ability to fire automatically, meaning you pull the trigger and a ton of bullets come out, was banned in 1977.
00:09:53.500And our gun laws were pretty slack between then and 1995, when the liberals brought in more legislation in the first wave of registering your firearms, all that good stuff.
00:10:32.120But even that is a double-edged blade, too, because there have been cases in this province and in Ontario and across the country where there have been men and women who have defended themselves against an attacker.
00:10:42.200Or a burglar or an assailant of some sort.
00:10:45.460And they fired a gun and they hit that person.
00:10:48.840And that person has been injured and or killed.
00:10:51.780And those individuals had to go to the court of law to defend their stand and why they defended themselves.
00:10:58.220So, technically, you can defend yourself in Canada.
00:11:01.640But it becomes a bureaucratic and administrative and a financial burden.
00:11:05.520Because you're looking at the basic cost of anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000, in some cases even more, to defend yourself in the court of law.
00:11:15.760So, do I honestly think that the Liberal government is doing the Canadian people a favor with this?
00:11:23.840Because I'm not going to use my gun unless I go to a range.
00:11:27.420But in order for me to go to a range to use my guns, I have to call the RCMP and get a piece of paper that gives me authorization to transport from point A to point B.
00:11:39.540Point A being my home, point B being the range.
00:11:43.240And every time I go to the range thereafter, I have to get that piece of paper so that they know this guy is transporting his firearm to a range to do what the sport entails.
00:13:00.120Because every year, my wife and I, we plant a garden, and I've got some vermin that like to take little bits and pieces and bite and take a piss and shit in my food.
00:13:36.000The Prime Minister's detail is full of RCMP members and security trained members who are armed, who are authorized to carry from point A to point B because of their position in government.
00:13:50.080Certain trappers are in this country because certain lines where they work at in certain areas of the country, there are predators out and around.
00:13:58.480Cougars, bears, wolves that tend to attack people.
00:14:02.880So, yes, they should defend themselves.
00:14:04.840But the way I look at it in this country, every Canadian should have the right to defend him or herself from any kind of assault.
00:14:13.440Now, I'm not saying you can sit on your porch with a .50 caliber sniper rifle with endless rounds and just blow people away at random.
00:14:22.700No, there's a certain restriction and coup that we should all carry.
00:14:25.820But let's say if I'm in bed one night with my wife and we're just chilling out, someone breaks into my home and they have intent on stealing my stuff and hurting me in the process.
00:14:32.780I should be, by law, be able to protect myself and defend myself and my loved ones and my property.
00:14:40.500But this government doesn't see it that way because they think they're doing this all for safety, trying to keep you and I safe.
00:14:46.420When reality is they want to keep control.
00:14:48.960They don't want Canadians to have guns.
00:18:46.400Now, I would show you a magazine that I personally own, and I would show this to you, but because of the so-called overseers, I don't want to do that.
00:18:53.040I just showed you a glorified toy gun here.
00:18:56.460But it needs to say it's capped or pinned at five rounds.
00:18:59.980Now, if you're caught anywhere, even at a range, with a magazine where the pin or the cap is removed, and you're loading that magazine to 20 and or 30 rounds, you're in a world of shit.
00:19:15.860If an officer of the law or the CFO, chief firearms officer of any province or area, caught you doing that, say goodbye to your gun license and say goodbye to ever owning guns again, plus a pay a fine, or maybe serve time.
00:19:34.080Now, I haven't read the laws in regards to that, too, but I also know it's a big, big no-no.
00:19:37.500You can't have more than five rounds in a semi-automatic rifle, and you're allowed 10 rounds in a semi-automatic pistol, or six or five rounds in a lever pistol, right?
00:19:51.060You know, the ones with cylinders, you know, the cowboy guns, for my audience out there who doesn't know, right?
00:21:08.540As I mentioned earlier in the show, if someone has intent on hurting you or killing you, they will find a way to do it, regardless of if they have access to a firearm or not.
00:21:50.200And what annoys me the most is that we have people calling the shots in this country who have never fired a firearm or never had any kind of experience with a firearm.
00:24:29.920I think Canadians will be very disappointed with the result from yesterday's announcement.
00:24:36.740The Liberals made it seem yet again like they're taking real action to keep communities safe, when in fact that is not the case.
00:24:42.740This is another failed opportunity to address a very serious issue in Canada.
00:24:47.620We've consistently seen gun violent crime go up in the last seven years that Justin Trudeau has been Prime Minister.
00:24:53.560They're spending more money than any other government in history.
00:24:56.280And yet, yesterday's announcement will do nothing to address the rise of gun violence in Canada.
00:25:00.900Yeah, Ms. Angela, you're in a question right here asking the Prime Minister on what particular border measures are we going to try to stop people being smoked in the United States?
00:25:11.160If you were to tell me, what measures would you be bringing forward to try to tamp down smoke with guns?
00:25:18.240So when we met with, we recently did a guns and gangs study at Public Safety National Security Committee, and we had the CBSA Border Officer Union come forward and really outline how very strapped their resources are.
00:25:30.720Much like police resources who are struggling to keep up with the calls for service of gun violence and the like, our border agents are also struggling to keep up with demand.
00:25:38.880So, for example, they don't have enough border agents or enough technology capacity to check rail cars, for example.
00:25:45.420So millions of rail cars come into Canada every day, direct lines through the United States, right from Mexico, right into Winnipeg, where I represent, actually.
00:25:53.740And they're so strapped at the border that they can actually check one one millionth of rail cars that come into Canada.
00:26:01.500So that's an area where drugs and firearms are being smuggled into Canada.
00:26:05.560I've spoke with police who also confirm this, particularly in Winnipeg, where we have that direct line.
00:26:09.820So more border agents, in particular, are needed, but also improve technology to be able to search and scan vehicles that are coming in as well.
00:26:25.900Well, I would just say that, again, I think Canada's Conservatives in particular, but all Canadians really want to see action on gun violence.
00:26:32.780And as I outlined in question period today, there are real things that can be done to reduce gun violence that I think every party can support and all Canadians can support.
00:26:41.120And that's, again, more resources for police, guns, and gangs units to tackle gun crime in our cities, which is the problem.
00:26:48.080More border security resources so we can stop the smuggle from coming in.
00:26:55.440And then also, I think we have to also plan long term.
00:26:58.520A lot of the gun violence we're seeing is coming from impoverished neighbourhoods.
00:27:02.360So we need to ensure we're targeting them, supporting them with supporting anti-gang and anti-criminal community grassroots organisations that help divert youth from living lives of crime.
00:27:12.460And we've consistently heard this all throughout our guns and gangs study.
00:27:15.840Experts agree, and police also agree, and we consistently heard this, that bans will not be effective because criminals who cause the gun violence in Canada don't listen to bans.
00:27:25.440So, again, yesterday's announcement fell flat, and it's misleading to tell Canadians that it will have any impact on reducing gun violence in Canada.
00:28:33.960BC just passed legislation that it's okay to carry a certain amount of high drug, you know, really, really tough drugs out there that you can use.
00:29:13.020But if the government's going to okay that kind of use where you can get strung out and lie in some park someplace and then eventually die because we've seen how the fentanyl crisis has come and still lingers as we speak.
00:31:46.740Now, we're in such a rut with our political system that we've got the NDP, federal NDP, and the federal liberals based in cahoots with each other.
00:31:57.180In cahoots, meaning that we're going to work together because the NDP will back up Justin Trudeau.
00:32:02.400And in recent news too, Yagmeet Singh was down in Brampton, Ontario, I guess his home area.
00:32:06.840I know he came out of Burnie to be BC to win his seat in Parliament, but I think his hometown is Brampton.
00:32:14.440Now, I know Brampton, Bramalee, that area is full of East Indians and Sikhs alike that migrated to Canada years ago.
00:32:21.800And that's been, you know, known for, you know, that area has been known for a lot of Sikh descendants.
00:32:26.580And the footage I saw was quite amusing.
00:32:30.280There's a lot of Sikhs in that area that drive trucks for big trucking firms.
00:32:34.480And a lot of Sikhs were in Ottawa during the trucker's convoy, handing out some O'ses and, you know, being friendly, just like the whole convoy was, friendly, you know, doing their thing.
00:33:54.780I'm not saying anybody can go off the street and go buy a gun, because that's next to impossible in Canada, unless you're going black market ways.
00:34:00.820That's what they should be fighting on.
00:34:02.440That's what they should be focusing on, the black market idea.
00:34:04.960We can go to some thug and buy a pistol, you know, triple the cost because it's black market.
00:34:12.700And do a heinous thing if you choose to do so.
00:34:16.100But a guy like myself and my fellow shooters and fellow veterans and other gun owners that I know personally, we don't do that sort of thing.
