Ottawa’s gun grab is all about politics

The government is spending billions going after legal firearms instead of stopping the criminals who actually commit gun crimes

The federal government is once again on a crusade to end legal gun ownership, and no one knows why.

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree recently announced the “Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program,” an initiative that should be vigorously opposed by anyone who cares about truth, government integrity and public safety.

To begin with, there is no such thing as an “assault-style” firearm. The eye-catching expression is solely intended to evoke looming images of automatic rifles and machine guns, which, in fact, have been banned in Canada since 1978.

The minister himself admitted in a taped conversation with a tenant who lives in a Toronto home he owns that the entire exercise was motivated by political considerations, not by public safety.
