The flood of illegal (non-government-approved) firearms is exploding. The Small Arms Survey estimates that there are nearly a billion firearms held in private hands, with almost 100 million of them in Europe.

Treating nice people like criminals isn’t likely to enhance respect for the law.

If massive, obvious, repression happens in France, those 8 million illegally owned guns will come into play.

Bill C-71 has been referred to the Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence for review. One source indicates the bill is expected to pass into law by early spring of next year.  

Here in the UK, we are experiencing a frightening violent crime wave, despite all the lies we were told, assuring us that our current gun-ban would reduce crime.

Matteo Salvini, a daring, pro-gun, pro-police, pro-freedom populist, and Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister, has struck a resonant chord among his weary countrymen.

While Bill Blair and his politically opportunistic sidekicks want you to believe otherwise, all event attendees obeyed the law at all times, at all locations, and while travelling from one location to the other.

In an effort to combat his country’s rising number of murders, Brazilian President-elect Jair Bolsonaro is choosing the road less traveled: he said he plans to relax restrictions on gun ownership so his countrymen can protect themselves.

Rather than earning prestige for their onerous gun laws, Australia is achieving notoriety among many Americans for their state and federal governments’ increasingly petty attacks on gun owners. It is at least encouraging that in the midst of this gun control onslaught there are still a handful of Australian politicians that, in the face of unrelenting opposition, oppose further burdening their law-abiding constituents.
