News / Politics / Activism Rash of Recent Police Actions Against Firearms/drugs/gangs

Is anyone else pissed off by all the recent news of police stopping firearm smuggling, illegal firearms, drug busts, etc.?

Liberals have been soft on crime for their entire modern existence, catch and release, embarrassingly short sentences, and so many other policies we've complained about for decades. Well now all of a sudden they're making busts left, right, and center.

After decades of campaigning on community safety, they know their asses are finally on the line and they have to produce objective data that shows their absolute farce of a "buyback" made even the smallest dent in gun crime.

So now they're going to do all the things we've begged them for for decades, cracking down on weapon smuggling. Then they're going to attribute that reduction in crime, (that anyone with 2 braincells to rub together has known the solution was curbing illegal firearms) to taking guns away from us "dangerous and unhinged" firearms owners. Then theyre going to use that data as the basis to take the next bite out of private firearm ownership.

They're going to manufacture the data they need, by taking the steps we all know needed to be done, only to blatantly and fraudulently misrepresent that data to attack us even further....

It's just so tiresome, and predictable... and the liberal voters of this country can't be trusted to look at anything with even a modicum of critical thought.

How do you connect recent busts of firearm snuggling to more reason to turn up the heat on legal firearms owners?

You even say going after smuggling and gangs is what we want them to do. If anything it shows that we are not the problem.

They aren't cooking the numbers ffs. They just busted a string of shit rats recently and it made the news.

But hes right. The government fudges numbers all the time to show what they want. In their eyes our guns sre the same as criminals, so going after criminals = law abiding citizens guns with the buyback.

Also by November 1st all of us will also be on that criminal list anyway so, they will have even less work to make that distinction.

To them, going after a drug seller who has an illegal pistol, gets arrested (of course let out on bond with a promise not to do it again its the canadian way) is the exact same as the target audience of the most law abiding group in the country and worth spending 2 billion on, even though that drug seller with the illegal pistol cant use this gun buyback program because his pistol is illegal and he has no PAL.

The fact that YOU wouldnt think they woulsnt do this is the weird part. Its the government. They absolutely would and do.
