The Alberta government passed a motion today to support hunters, sport shooters and other safe and responsible firearm users against the mass confiscations promised by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Gun crime in Toronto has escalated this year. So, of course, because the Trudeau government draws a third of its seats from the Greater Toronto Area, any problem in Toronto is mistaken for a national problem.

However, the feds seem reluctant to take direct action on a national scale. Studies done for cabinet earlier this year showed very few legal guns are used in crimes. Most crime guns are smuggled in from the States. So barring duck hunters and sport shooters from owning guns will do almost nothing to stop Toronto’s gun spree.

The current federal government, though, often (always?) confuses symbolism for substance. All guns are bad in their minds, so banning any guns is good.

This is Alberta, we don’t take guns away from lawful owners in the ludicrous belief that somehow that will prevent drug dealers and gang members from shooting one another.
