00:00:00.000 The Long Gun Registry, and it's returned through a backdoor method,
00:00:03.620 and the Liberal government has assigned their top liar,
00:00:06.760 Public Safety Minister Marco Mendocino, to promote it.
00:00:11.120 So, just to give some background on this minister,
00:00:13.720 when he was questioned in committee meetings on the invocation of the Emergencies Act last February,
00:00:18.260 Mendocino simply just kept fabricating lies.
00:00:21.020 Worst of all, he gets away with it.
00:00:23.360 Mendocino claimed there was evidence of potential violence, insurrection,
00:00:26.640 and conspiracy of foreign funding for the trucker's convoy that justified suspending civil rights with the Emergencies Act.
00:00:33.340 He never presented that evidence, though.
00:00:35.460 There was a claim made that convoy participants were responsible for an attempted arson incident in Ottawa.
00:00:42.480 This claim was completely disproven through a police investigation,
00:00:45.700 and even after that was disproven, despite the proof being presented,
00:00:49.260 Mendocino continued his strategy of lies when he told a commons committee at the end of April
00:00:53.520 that the arson attempt was part of the reason they justified the invocation of the act.
00:00:58.500 A point of order was called, but it doesn't really matter.
00:01:00.880 Mendocino lied, and it's been successfully repeated again and recorded.
00:01:06.020 Mendocino claimed in February that they had evidence of a large amount of foreign funding for the protests.
00:01:10.180 This was disproven.
00:01:11.060 It was found that he was referring to a CBC story on it that had been retracted because it was BS.
00:01:16.440 And then he claimed no less than 11 lies in the House of Commons as he was asked and kept saying
00:01:25.020 that the police had requested the implementation of the Emergencies Act.
00:01:28.940 RCMP Commissioner Brenda Luckey contradicted this claim.
00:01:32.140 She explained the police never offer such advice.
00:01:35.480 Mendocino shrugs.
00:01:37.100 Terry's on.
00:01:37.620 It doesn't matter.
00:01:38.640 This latest lie from Mendocino is his most offensive.
00:01:41.700 So when defending the new liberal long gun registry, Mendocino said that the previous liberal government
00:01:46.920 long gun registry aided police in apprehending Mark Lapine after the Montreal Massacre.
00:01:52.600 Now, to begin with, Lapine blew his wretched evil brains out after he slaughtered the 14 innocent women.
00:01:59.540 The police didn't need any help in apprehending him.
00:02:02.560 Secondly, the gun registry didn't even exist until 1995.
00:02:07.100 That's six years after Lapine's crime.
00:02:10.000 Mendocino simply pulled the statement out of his ass.
00:02:12.920 And he used one of the worst tragedies in Canadian history in order to do it.
00:02:16.660 He just doesn't care.
00:02:18.120 So what's going to happen?
00:02:19.380 Nothing.
00:02:20.380 He's been lying chronically for months, years probably, in his career.
00:02:24.320 His career is doing just fine.
00:02:25.460 So why stop now?
00:02:27.260 So let's get on to that.
00:02:28.360 Why are the liberals at this?
00:02:29.560 You know, the liberals have been trying to take firearms away from law-abiding citizens for decades.
00:02:33.380 The long gun registry from the 1990s was implemented by the Chrétien government and Justice Minister Alan Rock.
00:02:39.880 It was an expensive, divisive debacle, and it never had any impact on crime prevention.
00:02:44.980 And despite liberal claims at that time, again, they've got a long history of lies,
00:02:49.140 that the registry would cost, oh, about $100 million.
00:02:51.400 Costs ballooned over $2 billion by the time the program was scrapped.
00:02:55.900 The system was terribly organized and inefficient.
00:02:59.280 It's estimated at some points that they never managed to register more than 60% of the long guns in Canada,
00:03:03.620 even though they were at it for, what, over 10 years, I believe,
00:03:06.820 and that many of those entries were incorrect.
00:03:09.240 The records in the registry were supposed to be destroyed, but they likely never were.
00:03:13.440 It was evident that the RCMP were using old registry records when they smashed into multiple homes
00:03:17.940 during the 2013 floods in High River and stole people's firearms.
00:03:21.620 It was clear that they'd been targeting specific households in their searches,
00:03:24.400 and it's rather tough to do that without some kind of list of where these firearms are.
00:03:28.820 When asked about the issue some years ago, Justin Trudeau said he would never enact another long gun registry.
00:03:34.900 Well, guess what? He lied. The registry's back.
00:03:38.160 And the only difference is they've dumped the onus on firearm owners and dealers.
00:03:42.100 Even if you transfer a firearm to a relative, you're going to be forced to contact the RCMP
00:03:45.620 and register the transaction along with personal information about yourself and the person you transfer to,
00:03:50.140 and, of course, the serial number of the firearm.
00:03:51.880 That's called a registry, people.
00:03:52.980 All private dealers, they're going to be obligated to record any transactions in full detail
00:03:57.320 with the personal information of the person buying it,
00:03:59.360 and they'll be obligated to provide that information to police at request any time,
00:04:04.420 even if they don't have a warrant.
00:04:06.680 The liberals are saying this isn't a registry. What else is it?
00:04:09.000 Of course it's a registry.
00:04:10.460 And it's going to be as expensive and ineffective as the last one,
00:04:13.720 but this is where it gets more sneaky.
00:04:15.020 This is where it gets more odious.
00:04:16.440 We can see this time the expense is all going to be put on the private dealers.
00:04:19.680 It's going to be put on the individuals, and it still will be ineffective.
00:04:25.220 So why do they keep pushing on this?
00:04:26.720 Why are they so hell-bent on registering firearms?
00:04:29.060 The answer is simple.
00:04:30.180 They want to steal them.
00:04:31.580 You can't effectively take away people's property unless you know who has it and where it is.
00:04:36.520 A registry is the first step.
00:04:37.840 When the goal is to disarm all law-abiding citizens, a registry is the way you have to go.
00:04:43.060 Rest assured, if and when the government feels confident they've registered enough long guns,
00:04:47.860 they will illegalize and seize them.
00:04:50.400 The liberals will deny this.
00:04:51.340 And this happened in Australia already, by the way.
00:04:52.780 We've got precedent on this.
00:04:54.900 And the liberals will deny this when we ask them about it.
00:04:57.980 But did I mention they have something of a propensity for lying?
00:05:01.660 Legally owned long guns barely make a statistical blip
00:05:04.340 when it comes to firearm crimes in Canada.
00:05:06.460 The vast majority of violent firearm crimes are committed with handguns
00:05:10.300 that have been stolen or are smuggled across the border.
00:05:13.240 The liberal government in Canada is an ideologically driven authoritarian regime.
00:05:17.580 They have no interest in individual rights.
00:05:19.960 Of course they don't like seeing citizens armed.
00:05:21.500 Not that there's some revolution pending, they just don't like it.
00:05:24.160 The only way to stop these guys is going to be to run them out of office.
00:05:27.160 And I'm unsure if that's ever going to happen,
00:05:29.120 because so many Central Canadian voters appear to like being lied to.
00:05:33.160 That leaves the independence option as the last one on the table for the West.
00:05:36.100 But in the meantime, better iron your garden, guys.
00:05:39.440 It's starting to rust.
