Election 2019: Liberals Announce Gun Bans

Tony Clement was right. Back in May of this year, the veteran M.P. announced a secret plan the Liberals had concocted to ban certain types of semi-automatic target rifles.

The CSSA's information concurred with former Minister Clement and we announced the plans to ban firearms in our publications immediately.

It appears we were correct!

At 11:40 EDT am today, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, deflecting away from proven allegations of racism roaring through the media, announced his government would - if elected - "Ban military-style assault weapons and will conduct a buy back program of these types of firearms." He did not define what that nebulous term "military-style assault weapons" meant nor how the buy-back would be implemented.

He also will allow municipalities to ban handguns within their borders. Trudeau did not describe how this would be enforced or implemented.

Importantly, he did not state how constitution guarantees of equal application of the law to all Canadians would dovetail into increasing restrictions against urban firearms owners.

Don't the rights of lawful firearms owners count too?

Surrounded by a gaggle of M.P.s, hopefuls and Liberal supporters - and without a single representative of Canada's 2.2 million firearms owners - Trudeau proved (again) that only certain Canadians enjoy representation within the Liberal party.

And we aren't one of them.

Tony Bernardo, executive director of the Canadian Shooting Sports Association said,”It's disappointing, but typical for the Liberals to attack Canada's 2.2 million lawful firearms owners whenever they get into deep trouble. Canada's firearms community is the go-to “whipping boy” of the Liberal party- guaranteed to deflect attention away from the latest Liberal scandal of Justin Trudeau's racist past.”

Trudeau's hyperbolic rhetoric is purely designed to whip up public sentiment against our community, despite the statistical evidence that firearms owners are the most law-abiding people in our country.

Trudeau's announcement raises more questions than answers. The Liberals have been unable to define what an “military-style assault weapon” is, or their role within crime.

More to come!

Then go and Vote today. 

Yes, today. You don’t need to wait until October 21st.

You can vote TODAY at any Elections Canada office. All you need to know is the name of your candidate and you can vote using a “Special Ballot.”

You can also vote in the advance polls, which take place over the Thanksgiving long weekend.

Voting in Election 2019 is far too important to leave to the last minute. Avoid the long lineups on Election Day and vote early, either by Special Ballot at any Elections Canada office or at the Advance Polls on Thanksgiving weekend.

Election 2019

Thanks to all that made the time to get out and vote!

We did our part here in Langley and most of BC! 

Langley is again Conservative, so we as licensed firearm owners and LRGC members, will at least have two local MP voices in Ottawa (and a few more in the Lower Mainland) to oppose the illogical and ineffective Liberal plans to target our sporting firearms rather than the illegal weapons currently in the hands of criminals.   

The coming year will likely be, to say the least, challenging.  But if history teaches us anything, it is that minority governments typically last less than two years, so we may all be back voting again in the near future!

So we need everyone to continue to support our firearm rights advocacy groups - 
i.e. the CSSA, the CCFR and the NFA, 
we must not rest! 

We would also like to thank all those that signed up as new members and/or donated to these organizations during our club initiative designed to increase their funding and support.  

The club will be sending their contribution to each of these groups in recognition of your participation during this initiative.  

Sincerely,

Your LRGC Board

LRGC Bulletin - URGENT!

Urgent Request to ALL Members!

Handgun and Rifle Ban - they want to confiscate our legal property!

You thought it would never happen - now they are moving to do it!

In late August, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a mandate letter for Bill Blair.

For those of you not familiar with Blair, he’s the ex-Toronto cop turned Member of Parliament who was recently appointed to a brand new Ministry and given the title “Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Prevention”.

His job, primarily, is to assist in ensuring Bill C-71 gets passed AND to “lead an examination of a national ban on handguns and assault weapons, while not impeding their lawful use by Canadians” – there’s an oxy-moron if there ever was one!
(BTW - their definition of an "assault weapon" is any semi-auto!)

What does this examination look like? Well, shortly after his orders came down from on high, Blair stood in committee and promised to conduct a full and balanced “public consultation” before the end of the calendar year.

Here is your "public consultation"!

Please MAKE time to fill out this online survey right away and forward it to your friends and family to do the same. Please do it NOW - before you forget - survey closes Nov 10!

Info and survey link: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/policing/police/crime-and-crime-prevention/reducing-violent-crime-dialogue-handguns-assault-weapons.html

Direct Survey link: https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/cnslttns/hndgn/index-en.aspx

DO NOT IGNORE THIS REQUEST - IT MAY BE THE LAST CHANCE YOU GET TO SEE YOUR FIREARMS! (YOU KNOW OUR LONG GUNS WILL BE NEXT!)

You know that the "gun-control" advocates will be hard at work getting the common uninformed person to complete this survey based on fear and ignorance - so we need to counter that effort!

WE NEED EVERY LRGC MEMBER AND MORE TO COMPLETE THIS SURVEY!
PLEASE FILL IN THE SURVEY AND GET EVERYONE YOU CAN TO DO SO TOO - ASAP!  

Please do this NOW!

Your LRGC Board!
