Hi John,

You can push back against Ottawa’s wasteful gun ban.

Reporting shows that the government is going to launch its gun ban and confiscation scheme soon.

The federal government has banned more than 2,000 models of firearms since 2020. Before they were banned, all those firearms were used for hunting or sports shooting by Canadians who passed safety tests and background checks.

For more than five years, Ottawa has said it’s concocting a plan to confiscate the banned firearms and compensate gun owners for their now banned property. 

But so far, it has failed to take a single firearm from individuals.

Now, the government’s plan has hit another roadblock. 

The Ontario Provincial Police said it won’t participate in Ottawa’s scheme. The Saskatchewan and Alberta governments have also said they won’t help. 

Even Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree, the minister in charge of the ban, doesn’t believe in his own program. 

In an audio recording, a firearms owner asks the minister if he knows that legal gun owners aren’t the problem. “I realize that,” said Anandasangaree.

The union that represents the RCMP opposes the gun ban and buyback because it won’t work and other police organizations are taking similar stands.

Experts estimate the total cost of the gun ban and compensation program to be more than $6 billion.

That’s a lot of your money being spent on a program that police say won’t make Canadians safer.

Signing the petition to scrap the gun ban is your first step in stopping this wasteful program. This fight is heating up. By signing the petition, you’ll be the first to know when it’s time to take action.

I’m a firearms owner and this ban frustrates me. It’s even more frustrating that politicians want to spend tons of taxpayers’ money on a program that isn’t likely to work. Please check out the petition if you agree.

Thanks for fighting for taxpayers!
