For Immediate Release








Trudeau and Blair BAN 12 Gauge and 10 Gauge SHOTGUNS!

The Canadian Shooting Sports Association and the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association demand the immediate withdrawal of the Liberal's flawed Order in Council.

May 5, 2020




Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister Bill Blair looked Canadian gun owners in the eye last Friday and said they would not take guns suitable for hunting away from us.

Mr. Blair is either too inept to comprehend the scope of his new regulations...or he lied to the Government and Canadians.

In the legal opinion of our firearms team - headed by Edward Burlew L.L.B., one of the foremost experts in Canadian firearms law - Bill Blair banned almost every modern 12-gauge and 10-gauge shotgun in Canada with removable chokes because they exceed the maximum bore diameter of 20 mm as defined in SOR/2020-96.

Canada's firearms industry body, the CSAAA, advises retailers to cease sales of many 12-gauge or larger shotguns with removable chokes."

It is estimated there are 1.5 - 2 million of the common hunting firearms in Canada.

As well, many large bore hunting rifles - some over 100 years old and valued over $100,000 have become prohibited. None of these firearms are semi-automatic or "military style." They encompass common bolt-action rifles such as the .460 Weatherby, break-open single and double rifles. These firearms are captured because the powerful cartridges they shoot - designed to humanely dispatch the largest game animals. PURE hunting rifles.

CSAAA also advises retailers to stop sales of "large hunting calibre, non semi-automatic rifles such as the Weatherby Mark V .460 as these rifles exceed the 10,000 Joules energy restriction.

Despite open hunting seasons across much of Canada, lawful firearms owners should refrain from using 12-gauge or larger shotguns with removable chokes or large calibre rifles capable of exceeding the government's energy ceiling.

These firearms are PROHIBITED and may not be used or transported for any reason.

Intentional lies or incompetent mistakes? You decide.

The Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA) and the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA) demand the immediate withdrawal of the Liberal's flawed Order in Council and the resignation of Public Safety Minister, Bill Blair.

I’ve signed and shared on socials. We need to not make this about guns. As soon as you start saying it’s about guns you lose people. This is about democracy plain and simple. The prime minister has greatly over stepped in doing this and he’s opened up the slippery slope to communism. Could you imagine if the greens were in power and used this power to end fossil fuels in this country. No more gas. Like shut off right now. All you have left is whatever you have stored. OICs are going to have to be removed. You abuse the power you lose the power. We the people are in charge and they’ve forgotten that. Let’s make them remember.

I couldn't agree more.

I have an AR and was affected but that is NOT why I feel this is a big step in a very bad direction and needs to be stopped - hard.

Where do such things end? Aren't these sort of actions the very opposite of democracy?

Right now all the brainwashed sheep are ignoring this point as its convenient for them too (they have been conditioned to believe that guns are bad) but what about when an OIC is used to ban something they do care about?
 
Make sure to sign the second petition specifically regarding

According to Regulation 117.5(2), an Order in Council may not be used: "In making regulations, the Governor in Council may not prescribe any thing to be a prohibited firearm, a restricted firearm, a prohibited weapon, a restricted weapon, a prohibited device or prohibited ammunition if, in the opinion of the Governor in Council, the thing to be prescribed is reasonable for use in Canada for hunting or sporting purposes";
It is the opinion of the Governor in Council that these firearms included in the Order are unsuitable for hunting or sporting purposes;
Justice Minister David Lametti stated: “There will be an exception for Indigenous peoples exercising a section 35 hunting right, as well as those who use the weapon for hunting to feed themselves or their family”;
An exemption shows that these firearms are clearly suitable; and
Multiple premiers have stated that this ban will not be effective in preventing crime and money would be better allocated towards targeting criminals.
