By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Great Northern Gun Grab is about to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States\u2019 northern neighbor is bracing for a firearm confiscation. What would seem unthinkable just a couple years ago is now planned to radically shift gun ownership on America\u2019s doorstep in just weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that sweeping new gun control laws would be coming \u201cin months\u201d that would drastically change how firearms are controlled in Canada. The Liberal Party leader made the unilateral announcement<\/a><\/strong> that the government would confiscate more than 1,500 makes and models of firearms under an expanded \u201cassault weapon\u201d definition. It\u2019s an estimated 150,000-200,000 firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Trudeau fulfilled his ill-advised promise by announcing the introduction of a bill in Canada\u2019s Parliament, labeled\u00a0C-21<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0that would usher in crushing gun restrictions. Included in the bill is everything from a provision to allow anyone to petition a police chief to revoke a firearm license and the courts to seize firearms for up to 30 days. The bill includes a magazine ban for handguns with a capacity greater than 10 rounds and centerfire rifle magazines with a capacity greater than five rounds. It would impose a strict regimen for those who choose not to participate in the confiscation program with onerous and nearly impossible requirements to keep their firearms. A two-year amnesty period for owners of these now-banned firearms will expire in April 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confiscation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The biggest concern of this gun control push is the outright confiscation of firearms by the government. Prime Minister Trudeau and his allies are labeling it as a government \u201cbuyback.\u201d However, this is using Canadian taxpayer funds for the government to buy back something it never owned in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More shocking is that no government official will put a price tag on what this would cost. Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said the government will have a better picture of the cost when it knows how many owners want to \u201csell\u201d their firearms and for how much, according to a Canadian Broadcasting Channel (CBC)\u00a0report<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0Minister Blair guessed it would run between $300-400 million if 150-200,000 gun owners demand $1,300 per firearm. Minister Blair earlier pegged the cost at $600 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critics argue the cost would be much higher. Those critics were right about Canada\u2019s previous gun registration scheme being a colossal failure with an enormous price tag. That was pitched at costing only $2 million but ran over $2.7 billion before being scrapped. The same critics<\/strong><\/a> are pointing to New Zealand\u2019s confiscation model and saying realistic estimates put the Canadian cost at $1.6-$5 billion in just the first year. That\u2019s just administrative costs, not including the bounty Prime Minister Trudeau would pay for each firearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noncompliance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Canadians who don\u2019t participate in surrendering their firearms to the government will be forced to endure a rigorous set of rules and inspections to keep their firearms \u2013 while they can and while they\u2019re alive. Those who don\u2019t hand over their firearms could keep them under strict conditions to not use, import, further acquire, sell or bequeath them. Those individuals would also be required to complete the Canadian Restricted Firearm Safety Course and upgrade their licenses to a \u201cRestricted Possession and Acquisition Licence.\u201d Of course, this would incur all associated course and license fees, along with registering any firearms with the Firearms Registrar, complying with enhanced storage requirements and periodically providing information on firearm storage to ensure compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Wait, There\u2019s More<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The proposed confiscation law would be so much more than just a gun grab. It would also give municipalities the option of enacting their own local ban on handguns. Some local laws might not go that far. Local laws might only regulate home storage of handguns, requiring them to be stored at shooting clubs and ranges. This would create a patchwork of differing gun control laws and pitfalls for Canadian gun owners. Enforcement would become a nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt DeMille of Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, told the CBC, \u201cAdopting measures across the province in a patchwork is going to be very difficult for people to understand.\u201d Conservative public safety critic Shannon Stubbs added, \u201cThis part of the bill doesn\u2019t address the major problem, which is the illicit use of illegal guns in crime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another provision in the bill would make it illegal to advertise a firearm that depicts violence against a person. Read strictly, that would make it a crime to advertise a gun as a self-defense tool. Instead of taking on the criminals who misuse firearms, Prime Minister Trudeau would lock up advertisers who tell his citizens they don\u2019t have to be willing victims and can use firearms to defend themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Right, Not Right<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This sounds like a dystopian fairy tale, but the reality is this is happening on the doorstep of the United States. Minister Blair made it clear why Prime Minister Trudeau is able to get away with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGun ownership in Canada, in this country, is a privilege and not a right,\u201d Minister Blair explained<\/a><\/strong> to Canada\u2019s Global News. It\u2019s a privilege that\u2019s predicated on the strict adherence to our laws, our regulations, and our restrictions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not stopping opponents from saying Prime Minister Trudeau is overstepping. The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police said it won\u2019t support a plan for handgun bans. Vancouver police chief Adam Palmer heads the organization and previously said<\/strong><\/a> there are laws against the illegal use of handguns. Further gun control laws won\u2019t solve this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister said<\/a><\/strong> the handgun ban is \u201cnot going to work.\u201d Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is critical<\/a><\/strong> of Prime Minister Trudeau\u2019s gun grabs. Alberta Premier Jason Kenney denounced<\/a><\/strong> the moves for targeting law-abiding gun owners and not criminals. Ontario\u2019s Premier Doug Ford said<\/a><\/strong> the national government should focus on enforcing laws and putting criminals behind bars, not seizing guns from law-abiding citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In light of President Joe Biden\u2019s gun control\u00a0wish list<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0it\u2019s worth nothing the importance of the\u00a027 words<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0of the Second Amendment. It\u2019s also worth watching the cost of dollars and rights an out-of-control gun control agenda can do to a nation\u2019s citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
