Doyenne of the 🍁gun cult claims to stand for ‘fair and effective gun regulation’ when her organization’s own policies call for concealed carry in cities, open carry in countryside, decriminalization of gun possession without a licence, and ...broad rights of self defence by gun. 🤥
Moreover, it’s politicians telling police which crimes to investigate and which not.
Isn’t that what Conservatives are always screaming against?

Lethal means safety (LMS)—in which access to firearms and other lethal methods is reduced—is an evidence-based approach to reducing suicide risk.

So Alberta's Justice Minister has told the RCMP not to confiscate banned weapons from "law-abiding gun owners", and I'm just going to point out that if refuse to turn in a firearm that's now prohibited, YOU'RE NO LONGER A LAW-ABIDING GUN OWNER.
Another day in America.
Roxborough High School, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. One 14-year-old boy dead and 4 others injured after football scrimmage.
This country values guns over children’s lives.
3) This isn't about protecting Alberta from federal intrusions into provincial jurisdiction. Whether you support/oppose gun policy, it is federal jurisdiction. This is Alberta deciding which federal laws it will enforce and which ones it will not.
Just a few of the guns included in the federal buyback program which Alberta will challenge, calling it a waste of money. Unless you are actively fighting on the front line of a battlefield, I do not understand why anyone needs to have these in ...their home.
Reminder: Alberta lost its constitutional challenge against the long-gun registry
And 80% of 🇨🇦Canadians support banning semi-automatic #AssaultWeapons, including majority of Albertans

@STiberius Yes, the federal gun buyback is aiming at (pun intended) assault-style weapons.
One of the guns seized by RCMP & anncd on Friday was an AR-15, as well as other long & handguns.
I agree there can be responsible gun ownership.
But I... wouldn't call waiving a gun around "responsible."
Mere days after RCMP seized nearly 50 guns -- some of which were restricted/ not reg'd -- from an individual who allegedly waived an ostensibly loaded handgun at another driver during a road rage incident, Alberta's justice minister is instructing ...RCMP in AB to NOT seize guns.
Alberta's Chief Prov Firearms officer is disputing any direction or intention directing the #Alberta RCMP Headquarters (K Division) to participate in the #AssaultWeapon buyback program.

Always amusing to see the 🍁gun cult’s legal savants rattling the lawsuit sabres when gun control advocates say something they don’t like.
No idea what you can and can’t sue for, but whatever …

4Important to underline the diversity of sources of crimes guns. Not true that problem lies mainly with illegally imported handguns. Recent RCMP data shows majority of guns seized across 🇨🇦 are domestically sourced & most of them are long ...guns, not handguns https://polysesouvient.ca/Documents/MONT_22_06_06_SOURCES_Guns_Armes_ENG_FRA.pdf
But that’s no longer the case for long guns. For ex, the Ruger Mini-14 that was in NS gunman’s possession could be traced to a specific store in Winnipeg, but further tracing was impossible because the store's sales ledgers were destroyed in ...2012, along with long-gun registry
Handguns remain registered, so it’s easier to trace domestic handguns used in crime, like the one used in the Danforth mass shooting which was stolen from a store in Saskatchewan
