00:00:00.980 Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. It's a beautiful December 20th, 2019.
00:00:05.240 I'm your host, Krusty Canuck, and today's episode, The Great Canadian Gun Debacle.
00:00:10.480 Yes, I'm getting information in regards to all the gun stuff happening in this beautiful country of ours 0.99
00:00:15.860 and a few people in Toronto suing Smith & Wesson for what happened in July 2018.
00:00:22.100 All that and more coming up on the Krusty Canuck Podcast. Stay tuned.
00:00:27.000 Hit it, sweetheart. 1.00
00:00:28.060 Because I am hard, you will not like me.
00:00:32.060 Yes, sir.
00:00:35.720 There is no racial bigotry here.
00:00:40.320 There you are always will be working.
00:00:44.340 That's right, ladies and gentlemen. We're back for another episode of the Krusty Canuck Podcast.
00:00:47.320 I am your host, Krusty, and yeah, today, in a special episode, The Great Canadian Gun Debacle.
00:00:53.700 That's the title, yes, and what are we talking about?
00:00:56.180 Well, we're talking about guns in Canada.
00:00:59.220 You've heard me spiel onto that before in numerous episodes, and well, here it is.
00:01:05.320 You know, I've got a few articles here to read, and I'll leave some references and points at the end of this program.
00:01:10.100 But according to, let's see, Vice News, now I'm kind of surprised that Vice actually wrote a detailed article.
00:01:19.700 This was written on the 17th, a few days back, based on Canadians are suing gun makers Smith & Wesson for $150 million because Americans can't.
00:01:30.100 Victims and families of victims have launched a class-action lawsuit against a gun manufacturing giant related to the Danforth mass shooting.
00:01:39.960 Victims of the mass shooting in Toronto are suing Smith & Wesson, a U.S. company that made a gun used in the attack for $150 million.
00:01:47.420 A class-action lawsuit was filed in the Ontario Provincial Court Monday.
00:01:52.140 If successful, this suit would hold Smith & Wesson responsible for gun safety, even if the weapon was stolen.
00:01:58.760 Interesting.
00:01:59.240 The shooting occurred the night of 22nd July 2018 at Toronto's Busy Danforth Avenue.
00:02:05.780 10-year-old Juliana Kozis and 18-year-old Reese Fallon were killed and 13 others were injured.
00:02:11.660 The shooter, 29-year-old Faisal Hussain, died by suicide via gunshot after a shootout with the police.
00:02:18.520 He had a long history of mental health issues and violent tendencies, and the handgun was used in that crime,
00:02:25.400 was made by Smith & Wesson, and was reported stolen from a Saskatchewan gun dealer in 2015.
00:02:31.640 Now, I read an article that said 2016, so keep that in perspective.
00:02:37.420 The lawsuit claims that Smith & Wesson failed to install smart technology in the weapon, which would have prevented its unauthorized use.
00:02:44.260 It was reasonably foreseeable that the defendant's handgun products, like the handgun used in Danforth shooting,
00:02:49.820 would be in the hands of unauthorized users, cause substantial harm to, or kill,
00:02:54.460 innocent third parties, the lawsuit reads.
00:02:58.300 Ken Price, whose daughter, Samantha, is a lead plaintiff in the suit, said on CP24,
00:03:04.260 why isn't there more technology that helps to secure the usage of that gun
00:03:08.120 so somebody can't arbitrarily get a hold of it and use it as a weapon of hate?
00:03:13.740 The suit refers to an historic agreement that Smith & Wesson reached the White House under then-President Bill Clinton in 2000.
00:03:19.640 It was a huge deal because it was the first time that a major gun manufacturer committed to changing the way
00:03:24.540 that guns are made and sold to improve safety.
00:03:27.660 In agreement, Smith & Wesson acknowledged the threat of stolen weapons
00:03:31.240 and said it would use technology that would limit gun use to authorized people.
00:03:37.460 An all-new gun starting in 2003, think of Touch ID, which you probably have on your phone, but on a gun.
00:03:47.400 But the American gun lobby fought back and won.
00:03:49.720 The PR blitz and boycott of the National Rifle Association nearly drove Smith & Wesson out of business.
00:03:55.340 That Clinton-era gun control agreement became toothless in 2006 under President W. Bush.
00:04:00.340 He enacted the protection of lawful commerce and arms legislation that shields gun makers from being sued for liability
00:04:06.100 that does not apply to Canadians.
00:04:08.940 That's why this suit could be a game-changer when it comes to gun control and gun safety in North America.
00:04:14.620 The suit is open to anyone who suffered physical or emotional as a result of the shooting on the Danforth.
00:04:19.680 Price's daughter, Samantha, was out with friends getting ice cream and celebrating a birthday when the gunfire began.
00:04:25.040 Her friend Fallon died and several of her friends were shot.
00:04:28.000 Samantha's been brave and fierce, and I wanted to do the right thing by her, her father said.
00:04:32.460 Well, you know, I can understand the passion and the dedication, and I can also understand where she's coming from, okay?
00:04:42.600 But you're asking for Star Wars here.
00:04:45.260 You're asking for sci-fi.
00:04:47.080 And regardless of what Smith & Wesson did...
00:04:49.100 Now, I'm not defending a big conglomerate, a big company here, okay?
00:04:53.780 What I'm defending is common sense. 0.99
00:04:55.920 And I'm going to call stupid when I see it. 0.98
00:05:01.480 Okay, now, how many people do you know personally, in your circle of life, ladies and gentlemen, 0.99
00:05:05.060 how many people do you know personally have taken it upon themselves to drink a lot of beer or a lot of liquor and drive a car?
00:05:13.740 Okay?
00:05:14.080 How many people have you known that have drank themselves to a point where they can't function, they can't do anything,
00:05:19.960 and they wake up one hell of a hangover, and they wipe out, fall down the stairs, and they break a leg?
00:05:30.120 Or they break an arm?
00:05:31.900 Or they get into a car and drive somewhere?
00:05:36.600 And how many of those individuals have hurt someone, killed someone, smashed something, smashed a property, damaged themselves,
00:05:44.480 and yet you don't hear about people suing the motor company that manufactured the vehicle?
00:05:51.140 You don't hear someone suing the brewery that, you know, sold beer to the said individual that he or she consumed.
00:06:00.260 How many people do you know caught their dink in a zipper while pulling up their jeans?
00:06:06.540 Well, you don't hear anybody suing Levi's or Wrangler's or any major brewing company for the above mentioned, do you?
00:06:13.960 Yeah. No. I can understand the pain and the loss and the fear that the victims of Danforth have gone through.
00:06:23.940 I have seen someone get shot. I have been shot at. I know the violence of a gunfight. Trust me.
00:06:31.660 But I'm not going to sue the Al-Qaeda for what happened.
00:06:35.580 I'm not going to sue the Taliban. I'm not going to sue the Afghan government for allowing such fucking monsters to roam around freely. 1.00
00:06:43.960 Okay. I had a job to do. I did it. 1.00
00:06:46.820 I'm not saying civilians have to encourage that or see that or be in that predicament.
00:06:54.340 But in the same sense, it's not going to bring your loved ones back.
00:06:59.140 It's not. It's not going to bring the loss. It's not going to cure the loss.
00:07:05.160 Okay. And $150 million, that's a lot of money.
00:07:09.020 Right. That's, that's a lot of money, uh, for a handful of people.
00:07:14.640 You know, I can understand the frustration. I do. Trust me. I do, ladies and gentlemen.
00:07:19.880 But I also understand the lack of insight when it comes to it and powers that be in Ottawa.
00:07:27.520 Well, they're looking at it like it's, well, it's a fact to concur and to curtail guns in this country because it's such a problem, so they say.
00:07:38.020 And, uh, well, I don't know what to say. It's, I think it's stupid. Really. 1.00
00:07:43.260 Anyway, you decide. Let me know. KrustyBCanuck67 at gmail.com.
00:07:48.440 Or you can find me here in the Podbean.
00:07:50.580 Or send me a comment there on YouTube.
00:07:53.260 Or, uh, just say hello, nonetheless. Let me know what you think.
00:07:58.380 Do you think they have a legitimate case?
00:08:00.780 Right? Because, uh, technology was promised so many years ago.
00:08:03.820 And let me remind you folks, too, that the gun that was used in that crime was a stolen handgun.
00:08:12.980 Okay? From a gun shop.
00:08:15.640 Back in Saskatoon, I think it was 2015 or 2016.
00:08:18.940 Anyway, there's more information on that.
00:08:20.720 I'll post the links at the end of the podcast here.
00:08:23.520 But, uh, interesting. For this festive season, more of the gun debacles are coming up here.
00:08:28.280 So, anyway, this is an article that was written, uh, under, from Global News, from a Jessica Patton.
00:08:34.540 Uh, this was posted 21st June, uh, this past year.
00:08:39.500 So, uh, it says, uh, Dan Forrest Shooter had a lengthy history of violent thoughts, but motive remains unclear, said the Toronto Police.
00:08:46.900 Toronto Police said the man who went shooting spree in the city's Greektown neighborhood on July 2018
00:08:50.860 had a lengthy history of violent tendencies and thoughts towards himself, but the motive for the attack remains unclear.
00:08:59.260 Chief Mark Sanders went over the investigation's finding on Friday into the 2018 Dan Forrest Shooting, which left two dead and 13 injured.
00:09:08.540 Uh, police say nothing to suggest anyone else played a role in Dan Forrest Shooting.
00:09:12.080 Uh, he said earlier in that day, investigators met with families of the victims, uh, of the shooting,
00:09:17.720 and they had been in constant conversation with those affected.
00:09:21.320 Although today does not give them the closure for the losses they suffered,
00:09:24.760 it will provide some, but not all, of the answers, Saunders said, adding, uh, officers spoke to acquaintances,
00:09:30.900 employees, and family members of Hussein over the course of the investigation.
00:09:34.980 Officers responded to calls about the shooting near Dan Forrest and Logan Avenues,
00:09:38.400 10 p.m., 22nd July, 2018.
00:09:41.100 Investigators said 29-year-old Faisal Hussein walked into a busy neighborhood and began shooting.
00:09:46.620 All right.
00:09:51.080 Reese Fallon, 18, and Julianna Kozis, 10, were killed in the incident.
00:09:54.900 Saunders said Hussein died due to a self-negotiated gunshot wound to the head.
00:09:58.480 He said Hussein's history with mental health issues was first documented in 1996.
00:10:03.580 Saunders said through researching his background, a picture arose of a very troubled individual
00:10:07.280 who was clinically treated for violent acts against himself and an outward expression of violent thoughts.
00:10:13.000 Findings revealed Hussein first came into contact with Toronto Police Service in 2010
00:10:17.380 when he was transported to the hospital for a mental health evaluation
00:10:20.460 following an incident of self-harm at school.
00:10:23.560 The document said Hussein was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder in 2010.
00:10:28.500 However, Sanders and Hussein's mental health treatment was inconsistent over the years.
00:10:33.280 With his last documented appointment with a mental health professional dating back to May 2014,
00:10:37.980 investigators said they do not believe Hussein had any connection
00:10:40.620 to hate groups or terrorist organizations that said he was not affiliated
00:10:43.960 with any radical ideologies, even though his mental health played a very, very critical role,
00:10:48.960 ladies and gentlemen.
00:10:50.100 Saunders added that Hussein did not have any criminal record.
00:10:52.460 However, he came into contact with police on three separate occasions.
00:10:58.420 Two days before July 22nd attack, Saunders said Hussein was arrested for attempting to steal ice cream,
00:11:03.700 but was subsequently released with no charges.
00:11:07.420 Saunders said that while it was clear mental health played a role in an incident,
00:11:12.520 investigators were not able to identify a clear motive for the attack.
00:11:18.140 Although we have collected all of the evidence that was available to us for this crime,
00:11:23.700 the crime where the shooter died at the scene, we may never know the answer to why, he said.
00:11:29.880 Detective Terry Brown echoed Saunders' statement,
00:11:32.020 At the end of the day, the only person who knows why he did what he did is no longer with us.
00:11:37.360 There is nothing that anybody has relayed to us, suggests us that Hussein was in crisis that day.
00:11:43.200 So when he left his home that day for the last time, that fateful time,
00:11:47.140 there was nothing that we could have learned to suggest that anyone could have foreseen
00:11:50.420 that this was going to happen in the next hour.
00:11:53.420 Okay, well, the handgun that was used was stolen from a Saskatchewan gun shop, okay?
00:12:05.020 So, and the thing is, 23rd of July, they investigated his home.
00:12:13.320 They had a search warrant where he lived with his parents.
00:12:17.080 There was multiple cell phones, laptops, and electronic devices were seized.
00:12:20.240 However, investigators said none contained information that provide any motive for his actions, right?
00:12:25.520 So, why so many cell phones? Why so many laptops, right?
00:12:32.200 Several guns and drugs were also seized, documents showed.
00:12:35.300 Hussein's family has said publicly that he suffered from depression and psychosis.
00:12:39.180 They also denounced his actions, okay?
00:12:42.920 Interesting.
00:12:44.040 Well, quite a few actions were there.
00:12:46.920 Now, there are a few more questions that were posted.
00:12:50.240 Well, Hussein did not have a criminal record, arrested a few days before shooting,
00:12:53.280 released without charge after attempting to steal ice cream.
00:12:56.960 So, I don't know what to say.
00:12:59.500 There is an article here that's linked with Mr. Hussein in regards to that.
00:13:07.220 Like, all these cell phones and laptops?
00:13:09.060 I have two laptops.
00:13:10.040 And I have two cell phones, mine and my wife's.
00:13:14.200 And, uh...
00:13:15.160 I don't know.
00:13:17.600 You tell me.
00:13:18.180 You think about it.
00:13:19.220 You know?
00:13:20.000 There's nothing racial here, ladies and gentlemen.
00:13:21.640 I'm just trying to find out the logic between our leaders and the connections to these gun crimes 0.68
00:13:27.180 and how they're going to try to justify taking away our guns, if need be.
00:13:32.220 You know?
00:13:33.340 No, I just...
00:13:34.220 I don't know.
00:13:36.120 Okay.
00:13:36.480 The handgun used in a Toronto mass shooting was a .40 caliber Smith & Wesson stolen Saskatchewan in 2016.
00:13:42.800 The Global News has learned.
00:13:45.620 Now, this comes from the 26th July, 2018 broadcast.
00:13:50.460 The gun, which killed 18-year-old Reese Fallon and 10-year-old Julianna Kozis,
00:13:54.980 was stolen during a break-and-enter at a gun store in the province.
00:13:58.480 Okay?
00:13:59.160 Both Toronto and Saskatoon police declined to comment on the story.
00:14:02.580 In a redacted copy of the National Firearms Database released to Global News under the Acts of Information Laws,
00:14:07.920 only one firearm meets those criteria.
00:14:10.900 It was registered by a private individual in rural Saskatchewan postal code of June 2014.
00:14:17.100 It was entered in the database as stolen in July 15th of 2016.
00:14:21.560 In the data, 24 other handguns and restricted rifles are entered as stolen on the same day in the same partial postal code.
00:14:29.300 None of the guns were recovered.
00:14:30.580 Okay, now I used to work in a gun store, and we would consign things.
00:14:34.620 In order for us to purchase a firearm from somebody in consignment,
00:14:38.120 or if they wanted to sell it, just basically, you know, give it away,
00:14:42.940 we'd have to have their registration, their ID, their PAL card to make it legit.
00:14:49.580 Okay?
00:14:50.480 If it wasn't, then we were obligated to let the authorities know that,
00:14:55.260 hey, there's a legal firearm here.
00:14:56.900 We've got to do something about it.
00:14:58.200 So, the data is consistent with a large-scale theft of guns in a single event,
00:15:05.000 but Global News cannot confirm this.
00:15:06.840 Media reports suggested it was obtained legally and was originally from the United States.
00:15:10.600 Of course, Smith & Wesson is made in the States.
00:15:12.820 They don't make Smith & Wesson in Canada.
00:15:17.760 A spokesperson for the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms said,
00:15:20.680 no information about the weapon or investigation.
00:15:22.360 So, the thing being, the question is, how did a man with no mental issues acquire a gun?
00:15:28.720 Well, he obviously got it illegally, and when you actually watch the video,
00:15:32.560 you can see him stop and take time to reload, too.
00:15:35.300 And he obviously had more than 10 rounds in his magazine.
00:15:39.020 So, not only did he acquire an illegal firearm,
00:15:42.500 he also acquired illegal capacity, which is a big no-no.
00:15:45.860 You're only allowed 10 rounds per magazine in a semi-automatic pistol, ladies and gentlemen.
00:15:50.580 That's Canadian law.
00:15:52.360 So, I'm not going to read any more of this. 1.00
00:15:55.360 This is just all bullshit. 0.99
00:15:57.060 But, I don't know. 1.00
00:15:58.720 You decide.
00:15:59.180 You tell me, folks.
00:16:00.640 What do you think?
00:16:01.360 Especially my listeners out there who are gun owners.
00:16:03.640 Now, I have a lot of people in my life that are against guns.
00:16:08.960 They are.
00:16:09.340 They have no use for them.
00:16:10.700 They don't like them.
00:16:12.460 They don't want them around.
00:16:14.800 But nobody that I know personally has gone out of their way to tell me,
00:16:19.440 well, you can't have this and we don't want you having that and you can't own this gun because.
00:16:25.520 Okay.
00:16:26.000 So, that being said, there's nothing wrong with me having a gun in their eyes.
00:16:32.300 I got a few guns, right?
00:16:35.200 I got two pistols.
00:16:35.920 I got four rifles.
00:16:36.840 They're all registered.
00:16:37.720 They're all good.
00:16:38.380 They go.
00:16:38.860 They're all locked up and secured, right?
00:16:41.740 I've done the training for them.
00:16:43.160 I have a PAL card that allows me to have them, right?
00:16:46.760 I can take them to and from the range as long as I keep them locked and secured as the law dictates.
00:16:53.020 And I, for one, am getting sick and tired of people using these incidents as excuses to tell you and I what to do
00:17:01.940 and how to do it and when to do it.
00:17:04.200 Now, I'm also going to add a link here that my friends at the CCFR, Canadian Coalition of Firearms Rights,
00:17:09.840 put together back in October, Tracy Wilson and Rob Gilitica, I believe his name is.
00:17:16.820 Just let me verify the name here.
00:17:20.320 Yeah, Tracy Wilson and Rod Gilitica from the CCFR actually had a sit-down interview with Bill Blair
00:17:27.600 in his constituent's office in Toronto.
00:17:29.980 And I really, really suggest, ladies and gentlemen, that you watch that video with total clarity,
00:17:36.440 regardless of how you feel about guns or not.
00:17:38.480 And really, really watch a lot of the non-answers that Mr. Blair has given those two individuals.
00:17:44.780 Now, Tracy Wilson has done a fantastic job for advocating for firearms rights in Canada.
00:17:49.840 Because in Canada, we don't have a Second Amendment, folks. 0.85
00:17:51.780 We don't.
00:17:53.040 Okay, we don't.
00:17:54.080 It's a privilege to own a gun in this country.
00:17:56.760 But as we see with the whole Western influence and how free speech is being compromised
00:18:03.340 and how ideas are being compromised and how thoughts are being stifled and how words are being stifled,
00:18:10.640 now they want to take away people's firearms and take away items of property
00:18:14.780 that the so-called left does not agree with.
00:18:19.780 Now, I've said numerous times before,
00:18:21.640 I don't care if you own a gun.
00:18:23.000 I don't care if you do own a gun.
00:18:24.660 I'm not threatened by someone's property.
00:18:27.300 I'm threatened if someone used said property to harm me or my loved ones.
00:18:31.320 Of course.
00:18:32.720 But I don't believe that the only people allowed to have guns in any working democracy
00:18:36.640 should just be the police and the military.
00:18:40.080 I don't believe that at all.
00:18:41.260 I don't believe that someone can break into your home and do what they want.
00:18:46.540 I believe you should have the right to defend yourself and defend what you love,
00:18:50.980 and that includes your property, and that includes yourself.
00:18:54.680 Right?
00:18:55.220 But when you actually sit and listen to Bill Blair go on and lie,
00:19:00.240 and he does lie,
00:19:01.400 and you can pinpoint yourself where he lies in these videos.
00:19:04.780 Right?
00:19:08.320 I'm just dumbfounded. 1.00
00:19:09.780 Here's a guy who is the fucking chief of police in Toronto. 0.99
00:19:15.660 Okay? 0.99
00:19:16.080 One of the busiest cities in the country.
00:19:18.600 That has an extremely high crime rate.
00:19:21.140 That has a lot of gun violence from people that have acquired firearms illegally.
00:19:27.640 Okay?
00:19:28.720 He goes on about the AR-15 being such a dangerous weapon.
00:19:31.940 Oh my God, mass killings.
00:19:33.480 And pay attention to the video where he references
00:19:35.800 a lot of the gun crimes that happen in the United States.
00:19:38.800 And thank God for Rod and Tracy stepping in, reminding him, saying,
00:19:42.500 ah, this is Canada.
00:19:43.520 This isn't America.
00:19:45.040 Right?
00:19:45.600 Letting him know that he's going to start using his head
00:19:49.240 and do things properly.
00:19:51.820 And you can kind of see the frustration in his face during this video.
00:19:56.080 Anyway, I'll leave a link to that at the end of this podcast here.
00:19:59.740 But I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, 0.99
00:20:02.220 it's just getting fucking ridiculous how the anti-gunners are out there causing this shit. 1.00
00:20:08.920 Right? 1.00
00:20:09.440 Because they're afraid.
00:20:10.640 It's politics of fear.
00:20:11.820 It's nothing but politics of fear.
00:20:15.160 Nobody says you have to have a gun.
00:20:17.720 Nobody says you have to own a gun.
00:20:20.040 You know, I don't tell random strangers,
00:20:22.600 hey, you better get yourself a rifle because it's the thing to do.
00:20:26.220 Or you better get yourself a pistol.
00:20:28.080 It looks pretty cool when you dress up in your cowboy outfit.
00:20:31.920 No.
00:20:33.140 Live and let live.
00:20:35.260 Right?
00:20:35.480 But the way I look at it,
00:20:38.080 if you can't handle someone owning a firearm,
00:20:42.120 what else can't you handle?
00:20:45.260 Right?
00:20:49.400 Ask yourself that.
00:20:50.360 What else can I not handle?
00:20:52.200 Right?
00:20:52.900 And if you're going to sit there and pull up the old,
00:20:54.720 well, we've got to protect our children.
00:20:55.820 We've got to protect this.
00:20:56.580 Yeah, you're right.
00:20:57.280 We do have to protect people.
00:20:59.160 Right?
00:21:00.120 And as a Canadian gun owner,
00:21:01.980 I do want to protect people.
00:21:03.320 I do want public safety to be paramount.
00:21:06.460 I want people to have their freedom to move around
00:21:09.100 and do what the hell they want to do any time of day. 0.61
00:21:13.480 Whether it's go to a fair with your family,
00:21:15.540 your loved ones,
00:21:16.540 or hang out, 1.00
00:21:17.660 or go for fucking ice cream on a busy street in Toronto 1.00
00:21:20.760 without having to worry about some shithead blasting, 1.00
00:21:24.960 regardless if he was politically motivated or not. 0.98
00:21:28.620 Okay?
00:21:29.160 And I'll leave a link too.
00:21:30.140 There's another part of that article where him and his brother
00:21:33.300 had a stockpile of carfentanil.
00:21:35.920 Not fentanyl, ladies and gentlemen,
00:21:38.180 but carfentanil.
00:21:40.140 Okay? 1.00
00:21:40.760 That shit's worse. 1.00
00:21:42.320 There's a backstory to that too, 0.99
00:21:43.980 so I'll make sure I incorporate that link too
00:21:45.440 to read for yourself.
00:21:46.860 But when it comes to the whole gun debacle in this country,
00:21:50.400 it should not be a humongous debate.
00:21:54.120 Now, what happened in December of 1989 0.99
00:21:56.080 was a heinous fucking crime. 0.99
00:22:00.500 It was. 1.00
00:22:01.500 It was.
00:22:01.960 And the individual that was responsible for it 0.98
00:22:04.760 had mental issues too.
00:22:07.800 And regardless if he was politically motivated
00:22:10.200 or emotionally motivated or not,
00:22:12.500 he committed a heinous crime.
00:22:14.060 And also,
00:22:16.740 he had a weapon
00:22:17.460 that is
00:22:19.820 on the restricted list
00:22:21.880 in this country.
00:22:23.240 And at that time,
00:22:24.320 you were allowed a capacity
00:22:25.380 of 30 rounds.
00:22:28.280 Right?
00:22:28.960 He used it for
00:22:30.020 something terrible. 1.00
00:22:32.480 A terrible fucking crime. 1.00
00:22:34.500 And 1.00
00:22:34.600 I'm glad he's gone.
00:22:37.520 Really.
00:22:37.940 Criminals like that,
00:22:38.760 as far as I'm concerned,
00:22:39.560 don't deserve
00:22:41.340 the right to any kind of sentence. 1.00
00:22:43.960 They should be shot. 1.00
00:22:45.480 Right? 1.00
00:22:45.960 And
00:22:46.280 ladies and gentlemen,
00:22:47.200 you also find a lot of gun owners
00:22:48.380 who want to see people get punished
00:22:50.900 for breaking the law.
00:22:52.780 Now,
00:22:53.220 there's a line in that video
00:22:54.100 where Bill Blair says,
00:22:55.040 well,
00:22:55.140 I hope,
00:22:55.520 you know,
00:22:55.780 good Canadians understand that,
00:22:57.320 you know,
00:22:57.640 they'll obey the law.
00:22:58.740 Right?
00:22:59.300 Of course we obey the law. 0.99
00:23:00.520 What the hell do you think we're fucking doing? 1.00
00:23:02.060 You moron. 1.00
00:23:03.740 Right? 1.00
00:23:04.120 We acquired our fire alarms,
00:23:06.540 alarms,
00:23:07.300 duh,
00:23:08.140 firearms,
00:23:08.860 firearms legally.
00:23:11.040 We did it.
00:23:11.740 We took the training.
00:23:13.960 Okay?
00:23:14.160 We took the two-day courses,
00:23:15.740 did the testing,
00:23:17.480 recognized this round,
00:23:19.080 recognized this shotgun shell,
00:23:20.660 recognized this caliber,
00:23:22.140 recognized this style of rifle,
00:23:23.620 this style of pistol.
00:23:25.960 Right?
00:23:26.280 Did the oral examination,
00:23:27.760 paid our registration fee,
00:23:29.100 and waited like good little boys and girls
00:23:31.340 for our card to come in the mail.
00:23:32.820 You have,
00:23:33.940 you can wait anywhere from two months
00:23:35.760 to three months,
00:23:37.300 five months,
00:23:37.940 six months,
00:23:38.400 in some cases,
00:23:39.520 nine months,
00:23:40.680 to get that card in the mail
00:23:41.920 that says you are authorized to buy
00:23:43.720 and acquire.
00:23:45.280 You're authorized to have this.
00:23:46.900 You're authorized to have that.
00:23:49.460 Just like you are to have a driver's license.
00:23:52.140 Just like you are to have an AZ endorsement.
00:23:54.440 Just like you are allowed to operate a backhoe
00:23:57.280 or anything for that matter.
00:23:58.840 You do the training,
00:24:00.160 You do the training,
00:24:01.120 you get qualified,
00:24:02.520 you pass all the necessary courses,
00:24:04.700 voila,
00:24:05.320 there you go.
00:24:06.940 I would say that's a hell of a good thing
00:24:08.800 for gun control
00:24:09.540 if you're so keen
00:24:10.560 on controlling firearms in this country.
00:24:12.780 But don't turn around 0.99
00:24:14.840 and try to bullshit me 0.98
00:24:16.100 and say because some kid was caught 0.98
00:24:18.440 with a gun in Brampton
00:24:19.340 or some other kid was caught in Vancouver 1.00
00:24:21.740 or some other shithead was caught in Moncton 1.00
00:24:24.280 doing something stupid. 1.00
00:24:26.240 You have to look at the rifles 1.00
00:24:28.840 and the actual tools
00:24:30.940 they are using for said crimes.
00:24:33.660 How do they acquire them?
00:24:35.240 Oh, interesting.
00:24:36.740 Oh, it's because someone's strawing,
00:24:39.660 you know,
00:24:40.580 they're selling their legal guns
00:24:42.820 to someone who's not qualified to own them. 1.00
00:24:45.540 That is a fucking joke. 1.00
00:24:48.760 Okay? 1.00
00:24:49.120 I'm only allowed by law
00:24:50.620 if I want to sell my guns to somebody,
00:24:53.000 that somebody has to have
00:24:54.440 the same qualifications as I do.
00:24:56.640 That person has to show me
00:24:58.460 that they have a PAL card.
00:25:00.820 Okay?
00:25:01.360 Their acquisition.
00:25:02.380 And they have to show me
00:25:03.700 that they are allowed to have said gun.
00:25:07.400 If I'm going to sell my pistol,
00:25:09.680 that person has to have a restricted PAL.
00:25:13.380 Okay?
00:25:14.760 Period.
00:25:16.760 It's not for debate.
00:25:17.480 I just can't give my gun to somebody
00:25:19.020 and he gives me 500 bucks
00:25:20.360 or she gives me 500 bucks. 0.99
00:25:21.580 It doesn't work that way.
00:25:23.020 That's illegal.
00:25:25.440 And there's no doubt in my mind
00:25:26.860 that illegal transactions
00:25:27.820 have carried on
00:25:28.740 somewhere in this country.
00:25:30.220 But chances are
00:25:31.260 you're not going to buy
00:25:32.720 a gun from a legal gun owner
00:25:35.440 unless you have a PAL card.
00:25:39.640 Right?
00:25:40.020 And if you're so keen
00:25:41.600 and worried about gun violence
00:25:42.620 in this country
00:25:43.240 or in the major cities,
00:25:44.780 well,
00:25:45.340 maybe you should have
00:25:46.100 your gang units
00:25:46.920 investigate even further
00:25:48.300 by giving the manpower
00:25:51.420 that they need
00:25:51.980 and giving them
00:25:53.000 the resources they need
00:25:53.980 and stop slapping
00:25:55.900 responsible gun owners
00:25:57.100 on the wrist
00:25:57.760 because you think
00:25:59.220 they're as big and scary.
00:26:01.080 Now, there's a quote
00:26:01.940 in that video
00:26:02.420 where Bill Blair says,
00:26:03.440 oh, military rifles
00:26:04.280 belong in the hands
00:26:04.980 of the military.
00:26:05.940 Well, yeah,
00:26:06.660 but the AR-15
00:26:07.520 is not generally
00:26:08.760 a military rifle.
00:26:10.780 You know,
00:26:11.320 its style and design
00:26:12.260 was meant for the military,
00:26:13.540 but you can get it
00:26:14.720 in various calibers.
00:26:16.360 And I hate to say it, folks,
00:26:17.780 but you're only allowed
00:26:19.140 a five-round capacity magazine.
00:26:22.000 You'd be hard-pressed
00:26:22.640 to find a legal gun
00:26:23.600 in this country
00:26:24.140 with 30 rounds
00:26:24.960 unless you're part
00:26:26.640 of the military
00:26:27.240 or the police force.
00:26:30.120 Civilians can't own that. 1.00
00:26:31.640 So get that myth
00:26:32.540 out of your head right now.
00:26:34.720 Anyhow,
00:26:34.980 I'll let you decide.
00:26:35.940 You know,
00:26:36.200 it's Christmas time,
00:26:37.280 December 20th,
00:26:38.240 and I don't know,
00:26:39.720 I don't want to
00:26:40.840 rain anyone's parade
00:26:42.040 this festive season,
00:26:42.960 but I just had to get up
00:26:43.900 and say something
00:26:44.440 about the whole gun issue
00:26:45.300 in this country.
00:26:46.680 Right?
00:26:47.180 We're getting too many 0.99
00:26:48.180 damn people whining 0.99
00:26:49.220 and getting scared. 1.00
00:26:51.260 You know, 0.99
00:26:51.500 if it's not the fucking 0.99
00:26:52.100 environment, 1.00
00:26:52.740 it's about guns.
00:26:53.600 And it's not about guns,
00:26:54.600 it's about feelings,
00:26:56.120 and all people
00:26:56.900 are so oppressed.
00:26:57.800 And if it's not about
00:26:58.280 oppression, 1.00
00:26:58.780 it's about fucking people 0.99
00:26:59.720 fucking up the Star Wars 0.99
00:27:00.680 franchise. 0.98
00:27:02.100 Ugh.
00:27:02.740 Anyhow.
00:27:05.660 Really,
00:27:06.080 I don't know what else
00:27:06.540 to say,
00:27:06.820 ladies and gentlemen.
00:27:07.260 The fact that,
00:27:08.160 you know,
00:27:09.300 we've got to start
00:27:09.660 using common sense.
00:27:10.860 And we have to
00:27:11.760 question these people.
00:27:13.100 Get out there.
00:27:14.100 Protest it.
00:27:14.780 Question it.
00:27:16.100 You know,
00:27:16.520 I'm not giving up
00:27:17.140 my property
00:27:17.720 because someone's
00:27:18.920 scared.
00:27:19.760 Right?
00:27:21.040 You know?
00:27:22.260 And I don't agree
00:27:23.180 with the lawsuit
00:27:24.040 that those individuals
00:27:24.840 were doing in Toronto.
00:27:25.580 I don't agree with that.
00:27:27.260 You know?
00:27:28.760 It's not going to
00:27:29.440 bring back their loved ones.
00:27:30.480 It's not going to stop
00:27:31.240 or curtail
00:27:32.100 any kind of gun violence
00:27:33.580 that happens.
00:27:34.420 Right?
00:27:36.120 Just because they didn't
00:27:37.000 use smart technology.
00:27:38.240 Just because they agreed
00:27:39.020 to something in 2000
00:27:39.980 doesn't necessarily mean
00:27:41.040 it's going to happen.
00:27:42.460 Right?
00:27:43.900 Our political leaders
00:27:44.760 have agreed to
00:27:45.380 lots of wonderful things
00:27:46.540 but it hasn't happened yet.
00:27:47.960 You know?
00:27:50.380 Pierre Tourdeau.
00:27:52.120 Justin Tourdeau.
00:27:53.320 You know?
00:27:53.640 What do they agree to?
00:27:54.500 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:27:54.940 We'll upgrade our military
00:27:55.900 by, you know,
00:27:57.780 cutting spending
00:27:58.520 and making everything
00:27:59.760 and working a shoestring budget.
00:28:00.960 And we'll, yeah,
00:28:01.360 we'll back up our veterans
00:28:02.220 but we'll make them
00:28:03.160 fight first.
00:28:04.560 We'll make them give up
00:28:05.580 patience and sanity.
00:28:07.720 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:28:08.120 We'll give you clean water.
00:28:10.040 So you're finding a lie
00:28:10.960 everywhere, ladies and gentlemen.
00:28:12.360 You know?
00:28:13.920 Anyhow,
00:28:15.580 to my listeners out there
00:28:16.880 and to my fans alike,
00:28:18.260 thank you very much
00:28:18.840 for your subscriptions.
00:28:20.460 I really, really appreciate
00:28:21.560 what you're doing.
00:28:22.800 And please keep subscribing,
00:28:23.980 commenting, liking
00:28:24.680 and don't forget,
00:28:25.760 you see this on YouTube,
00:28:27.200 don't forget to tap
00:28:27.920 the little bell.
00:28:29.660 Let the algorithm go
00:28:30.780 so you can figure things out
00:28:32.140 and I can get
00:28:33.840 a little more,
00:28:34.800 a little more percentages
00:28:36.920 up there.
00:28:38.140 Anyhow,
00:28:39.860 let's just hope
00:28:40.480 this next year
00:28:41.260 brings a little more clarity
00:28:42.320 and brings prosperity
00:28:43.160 to us all.
00:28:44.680 You know,
00:28:44.860 regardless if you have
00:28:45.540 a gun or not,
00:28:46.140 it's not the important thing.
00:28:47.360 The important thing
00:28:47.900 is personal freedom
00:28:48.740 and choices.
00:28:51.160 You know?
00:28:52.360 I'm in my 40s now.
00:28:53.440 I don't need to be policed
00:28:54.120 and told what to do 24-7.
00:28:55.900 You know,
00:28:56.340 in the name of fear.
00:28:57.500 You know?
00:28:58.520 Common sense and practicality.
00:29:00.160 Pragmatism.
00:29:00.860 There's the word.
00:29:01.800 Pragmatism,
00:29:02.120 ladies and gentlemen.
00:29:03.840 You know?
00:29:04.100 And let's hold these
00:29:04.620 politicians accountable 1.00
00:29:05.420 when they make stupid decisions. 1.00
00:29:07.400 You know? 1.00
00:29:08.180 I think Bill Blair's 1.00
00:29:09.140 full of shit. 1.00
00:29:09.700 Ralph Goodale was 1.00
00:29:10.340 full of shit, too. 1.00
00:29:12.040 You know? 1.00
00:29:12.300 And if you look at my page
00:29:13.220 on Facebook,
00:29:13.900 there's references to
00:29:14.800 what he said
00:29:16.760 in regards to
00:29:17.700 trying to figure out
00:29:18.620 why are these killings
00:29:19.960 going on
00:29:20.460 from the young man
00:29:21.600 in Edmonton
00:29:22.120 who was recently
00:29:22.780 convicted
00:29:23.160 for the rider truck incident
00:29:24.920 and to references
00:29:27.620 to the Toronto 18
00:29:28.400 and basically
00:29:30.840 just bad people
00:29:32.040 wanting to cause
00:29:32.680 and do bad things
00:29:33.660 and how some
00:29:35.440 of these government
00:29:35.940 officials have
00:29:36.620 dealt with it.
00:29:38.180 So,
00:29:38.740 I personally think
00:29:39.420 that Mr. Bill Blair
00:29:40.540 and everybody
00:29:41.260 in his little riding
00:29:42.180 are not taking
00:29:43.400 responsibility enough
00:29:44.540 to look at the problem
00:29:45.980 at hand.
00:29:47.700 No,
00:29:48.020 they're not.
00:29:49.640 Illegal gun owners, 0.89
00:29:51.740 you know,
00:29:52.120 acquiring illegal firearms,
00:29:54.580 you know?
00:29:54.880 How else do you say it?
00:29:58.880 How else do you explain it?
00:30:00.600 You know?
00:30:00.940 Just because some kid
00:30:01.760 in Toronto
00:30:02.160 had a pistol,
00:30:03.360 where did he get it from?
00:30:04.700 Where did she get it from?
00:30:06.180 You know?
00:30:06.720 Oh,
00:30:06.980 from Joe Blow down here.
00:30:07.900 Okay,
00:30:08.100 where did he get it?
00:30:09.120 Oh,
00:30:09.440 we got it from his gang.
00:30:10.340 Okay,
00:30:10.700 well,
00:30:10.840 that's obviously
00:30:11.300 that it's illegal.
00:30:13.640 Right?
00:30:14.180 How else do you do it?
00:30:15.100 Figure it out.
00:30:15.660 Come on,
00:30:15.960 folks.
00:30:17.260 You know,
00:30:17.800 we can take responsibility
00:30:18.720 for our lives
00:30:19.480 and our actions.
00:30:21.280 Why can't our leaders?
00:30:22.640 Regardless of how you feel
00:30:23.560 about the Liberal Party
00:30:24.180 or not,
00:30:24.880 they are still accountable
00:30:25.860 for making the right decisions
00:30:27.120 and based on the information
00:30:28.780 I've just displayed now
00:30:29.900 and the videos
00:30:31.040 and stuff,
00:30:31.600 I'll leave the links later,
00:30:32.900 you can really tell
00:30:34.140 how much they really 0.99
00:30:35.440 fucking care 0.98
00:30:36.040 and what they are willing 0.99
00:30:37.520 to do to make sure
00:30:38.360 that everyone's
00:30:39.040 quote-unquote safe.
00:30:41.300 You know?
00:30:44.680 Either safe or stifled.
00:30:46.940 Anyway,
00:30:47.380 you decide.
00:30:49.340 Anyway,
00:30:49.640 ladies and gentlemen,
00:30:49.980 I've been Krusty Canuck

00:32:13.140 to them if you want
00:32:13.760 to donate them directly.
00:32:14.940 I recently gave them

00:32:16.960 because of listeners
00:32:18.280 and viewers such as yourself.
00:32:19.800 Thank you very much.
00:32:21.180 And it makes them happy

00:32:29.660 I have been Krusty Canuck

00:33:00.820 Hayden Park.
00:33:05.820 Because I am hard,
00:33:06.780 you will not like me.
00:33:08.080 Yes, sir.
00:33:11.680 There is no racial 0.99
00:33:12.960 bigotry here.
00:33:16.400 Here you are all
00:33:17.540 equally working.
