Look up liberal 22 gauge for a laugh
Some minister with mendicino claims to know guns and uses a 22 gauge for ptarmigan bear and moose. The lieberals continue to amuse. Imagine these are the people making gun legislation

That's Liberal MP Gudie Hutchings who made that statement, also asked the attending Media reporters if any of them hunted, does anyone here have a FAC, a Firearms Acquisition Certificate? You should get one and try hunting yourself.
Yes, quite knowledgeable obviously on firearms and what's required to own and hunt in Canada.
Also making the comment that she's quite confident that firearm manufacturers will step up and do their part by making cheaper, lower priced hunting guns available to those Canadians who may lose theirs in the proposed ban.
Can't make this stuff up, seriously.
Mendicino couldn't get her away from the Mic fast enough, before she shoved her foot further in.
I dropped her a quick email yesterday afternoon concerning the comments.

She obviously has no clue about firearms, or our firearms legislation, and she is proof that it's not just the people living in large cities, that are so clueless.

How stupid are these elected officials. Like WTF are voters thinking.
And while Jughead continues to prop up this tom foolery, he looks more like a fool day after day after day. How do these guys keep getting elected! There has to be vote interference or rigging. And why are so many western canadians wanting to stay with Canada and these fools that are running the country!

Just talk to some of the people in her province, and it soon makes sense. I worked with some of them, they made their living and raised a family in Alberta, for an oilsands company, but now they vote for the party that wants to destroy the industry that still pays them their pension.

Absolute majority of people didn’t blink an eye when they heard the “traditional 22 gauge” that she uses for ptarmigan, moose, and bear (laughing as writing), because they simply don’t know.
The message is pretty clear though, as she said, if own break action, pump, lever, and bolt, you are in the clear, lol. Your semi auto 22 gauge though, not so much.
Someone should have asked her what kind of license she has and then RCMP start an investigation about the illegal possession of firearms because she would likely have no clue about PAL, etc.
Edit: Unless your bolt is “too powerful”, of course. And until your lever cycles too fast. Same is probably true for your pump. Of course, a pistol grip on your pump is no bueno either. And so on.

I've made up my mind that , in the interest of public safety, the Liberals can buy back every one of my guns that were originally purchased from them.

She was part owner and cook at Rifflin Hitch Fishing Lodge
I bet she has tons of firearms experience.

Sadly, that horse has been elected to govern.

And none of them are on the chopping block right now.
She should read "And then they came for me."
Actually maybe she shouldn't. They might put the poem on the "Hate Speech" list.

A different view
I know there is no shortage of things wrong with the government's efforts to limit gun ownership. But never forget at least 50% of the voters in this county are women and they typically don't hunt. Do you think if we tried to help come up with what we think would be acceptable legislation, we would get support here? I know that it might be a bridge too far.
If we could, I'll bet the government would listen.

Actually, more and more women are getting into the shooting sports, they aren't all as clueless as that MP from Nfld. As for legislation, it is already excessive, so nothing that we could add would result in acceptable legislation.

Although not ideal I was also "ok" with the laws as they were before the 2020 OIC.
Inconvenient as the restricted rules are, I felt they were a reasonable compromise.
Inconvenient as the 5 round pinned mags are, I felt they were a reasonable compromise.
That's I think what's wrong with this new set of nonsense. We firearms owners already felt that we were conceding to be reasonable. Then the true agenda of complete disarmament rears it's ugly head.

Governments don't listen. The firearms questions has been under review since the 1970's. Everytime they come up with something to control guns and gun ownership, groups speak out, we haven't gained any ground on this topic for almost 50 years.

One of those faux pas that certainly generates memes in a hurry, and they are sprouting on her. Had to be 12 different ones yesterday.

More and more women are getting into it. My wife is an ardent hunter and has been a guide for many years. She owns rifles, shotguns and handguns....as does our daughter. Our daughter regularly shoots her handguns at a range with a bunch of other ladies that are also "into it".
What we need is MORE women getting involved. Sadly I can honestly say that a lot of the guys I grew up with, that got married and had kids, put very little effort into getting their significant other and their daughters into shooting and hunting. Most just wanted to get away with the boys for a week or two of hunting and no ladies around.
My wife is my hunting partner. More of you should try harder to get your ladies involved. Significantly adds to your relationship when you play together. Only thing she won't do is reload...that's my job. But, she does make up for it as she does all the fly tying and that works for me.

The increase at the local range is noticeable, and our hunting dog club has a lot of ladies involved, I have been asked to put on a wingshooting session for the ladies next spring.

Don't forget, almost all hunters have at least one woman in their life that loves them and wants them happy - mother/sister/wife/daughter etc.
Many of those women will be on the side of the hunter in their life.

Back to the FAC and PAL comment. I am wondering, shouldn’t someone make an inquiry? I mean she did clearly state that she owns at least a rifle and a shotgun (could be lies, but that could be the point too), yet has no idea about the licensing (got confused in “the heat of the moment”?). Maybe I should find and watch the whole video rather than a cut out here and there, but it does appear she is in illegal possession of firearms, according to her statements, no?
