Ontario residents are suffering under what is surely the most arrogant and
paternalistic government in the province's history. Liberal's only
response to a problem seems to be to legislate a ban. What will the
Ontario Liberals ban next?
Liberal's plan to ban semi-autos go the way of the carbon tax? I doubt it.
Gun bans are widely supported by rank and file Liberals.

Taking guns from law-abiding gun owners is like taking cars from sober people to tackle drunk driving! 2023 Gun ShowsAfter a two year hiatus due to COVID 19 restrictions the Sporting Clubs of Niagara gun show has resumed normal operations. 2023 gun shows will be held on February 17, May 5, September 8, and December 8.
Metroland Media refuses to run gun show ads.The Sporting Clubs of Niagara has been running gun shows since 1995. For this entire 28 year period we have advertised these shows in the weekly paper Niagara This Week, as well as in the three Niagara area dailies - the St. Catharines Standard, the Niagara Falls Review and the Welland Tribune. When the gun show director attempted to place the ads for the May 2023 show, he was told that Metroland Media (which owns these papers) would no longer accept advertising with the world "gun", "firearm" etc. Metroland Media is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Torstar Corporation. We recommend that any gun owner who is currently subscribing to the Toronto Star, the Hamilton Spectator, the St. Catharines Standard, the Niagara Falls Review or the Welland Tribune should cancel their subscription and inform the paper that you are doing so because of the fanatical anti-gun position they have adopted. In addition to the above daily papers, Metroland also owns these weekly papers: Niagara This Week, the Fort Erie Post, Grimsby Lincoln News, the Niagara on the Lake Advance, and the Port Colborne Leader. If you own a business that is currently advertising in any of these papers, we recommend that you contact them and make it clear you will cancel your ads until Metroland reverses their anti-gun advertising policy. Greetings Fellow Gun Owners and Concerned Citizens:As many of you may know the Liberal government is currently attacking lawful gun owners on two fronts. The first is Bill C-71 which will affect, among other things, all firearm transfers, ATTs and firearm record keeping. The second is a potential outright firearm ban which could include handguns, "assault" style firearms and all semi-automatic firearms. If these measures are brought in they are going to have a very serious, negative effect on your ability to own and use your firearms so if you are able please make every effort to attend this event. Liberals and their sheep.The agenda to ban firearms is more evident than ever following the New Zealand mosque shooting. As quick as the politicians and media could they attacked firearms as the main cause of the event. There was little mention of white supremacist beliefs, unpopular immigration policies or mental illness, as if the guns themselves decided to get up and start shooting. Once again, the impulsive socialist mind goes after the low hanging fruit while refusing to address the root causes of the problem. This same mentality is evident in Toronto where a soft on crime, politically correct mayor refuses to acknowledge that most shootings are the result of gang activity and instead focuses his attention on harassing lawful gun owners. Yet the Liberals and their media sheep continue to blame inanimate objects for the problem. This is a classic example of Liberal misdirection. While scandals such as the SNC Lavalin affair, exploding deficits and a monumental crisis involving opiod deaths continue to fester the Liberals shout "Hey, look at the gun problem...!" in an effort to distract the uninformed from real problems facing the country. Between January 2016 and June 2018 more than 9,000 people in Canada died from opiod use. In 2016 570 people committed suicide with a firearm while 1,933 people took their own lives by hanging. And guns are the problem that the Liberals focus on? It was very telling that in the New Zealand shooting much was made of one of the Muslim worshippers picking up one of the shooter's guns and chasing him with it (although it was empty). So he is viewed as a hero for trying to use a gun to stop the shooting but other law-abiding, gun owning New Zealanders must be deprived of their firearms because they are potential killers. Where is the mention of letting honest, armed citizens protect themselves? How many lives would have been saved if even twp or three of the worshippers had guns or there was armed security present? Apparently the New Zealand government, like criminals, loves unarmed victims. There is no evidence that gun laws have ever reduced criminal firearm use because the laws are always directed at the law-abiding. Apparently the insanity of doing something over and over when it has proven not to work is alive and well in New Zealand. Greetings:Following the release of some misleading statistics from the Toronto Police Service falsely claiming that some 50% of crime guns are now domestically sourced (the actual number is about 14%) some politicians like Mayor John Tory of Toronto seized on this as an opportunity to ask the federal government to enact a ban on handguns and certain other firearms. Despite the information being completely false the Trudeau Liberals have implemented an investigation to study the possibility of a nationwide firearm ban. As usual, law-abiding gun owners are being made the scapegoats for the government's inability to bring under control the gangs, drug dealers and terrorists who are committing the crimes. Gun ban impedes on lawfull gun ownership
The first Trudeau prohibition of firearms in the 1970s did nothing but impeded on the lawful gun owners' rights and look today, 2018, and the criminals have these now so called, "prohibited firearms" to this day, and law-full gun owners do not. Handgun registry was also put in place then and it has done nothing to fight crime.
Keep an eye out for bad people, not weapons; otherwise, you are not going anywhere! A Liberal MP quit the party in the 1990's because she could not believe the Liberals were throwing millions of dollars around like they were pennies! That should be of public interest, not banning guns! Open House and Fun Shoot at Maple Leaf Marksmen ClubFor information, please contact Joe Timpano (Club Treasurer) and Norm Collins (Open House Coordinator) or click here for more details. Here is a printable Flyer of event. Facebook page link :click here 2018 Shoot for Abbi at Decew Gun ClubBecause we had such great support from the local shooting community for our "Shoot for Abbi" event we thought everyone might want a preliminary report on how things went. In a word it was "FANTASTIC". About 157 shooters participated which was some 50% more than last year. And while the receipts are still being finalized it appears that the income from the shoot, all of which will go towards researching a cure for cystinosis, was in the vicinity of $11,300. This means that in the three years the Decew Gun Club has been running this event we will have contributed some $25000 towards finding a cure for this disease. We would like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank the dozens of people, companies, local gun clubs, etc. who assisted in so many capacities at the shoot, donated ammunition, loaned us their firearms, sold/bought raffle tickets, promoted the shoot on their websites, etc. Without your tremendous support we could never have pulled this off. Some people spent 9-10 hours helping at the club preparing, running the event and cleaning up afterward. And while others were only able to come for an hour or two even the smallest contribution made the job of conducting such a huge undertaking so much easier and we are extremely grateful to each and every person who assisted us. Once again, our sincerest thanks to everyone who pitched in to help in any capacity at this very worthwhile activity. The Decew Gun Club Executive Bill C-71 targets law-abiding citizens
Bill C-71 further restricts the tax paying, law abiding citizen from firearm ownership. There is no mention of gangs, criminals, unlawful ownage or use of a frearm. It does nothing to combat crime. Help to enable legal action against the latest RCMP's ban of 10/22 over 10rnds magazines
ETOBICOKE, ONTARIO - The Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA), representing recreational firearms owners, has joined with the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA), representing firearms business owners, to empower legal action against the recent decision by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Firearms Program to prohibit several brands of imported 10/22 extended capacity rifle magazines. The CSAAA and CSSA Boards of Directors voted late last week to raise and contribute funding to a legal defence fund to make this legal action possible For more information on how you can help, visit http://cssa-cila.org/ or direct link here. [Scrap C-68] Case Update: Our Home is being Returned to Us!
August 8, 2016 Dear Supporters: This has been a really long haul for us but the crown has finally dropped their civil forfeiture case against us and have dropped their lean against our home. It's a shame that the crown has taken so long to drop this case that should have never been started in the first place! BUT I guess when you have civil servants that are not held accountable that's what you get. My thanks to all of you who supported us with your expertise, money and prayers. I would also like to thank the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) which has been representing us since our lawyer Doug Christie died. The CCF has been very good to us and has been working diligently on our case pro bono! They definitely deserve financial support for all the hard work they are doing for average Canadians like you and me who have our rights violated. Please consider donating to them at their website at "http://theccf.ca/" . Yours in Liberty, Bruce & Donna. Thorold Council Meeting regarding firearm discharge by-law

Meeting ScheduleIn the December 2012 newsletter we indicated that we were scaling operations back a little to give our Executive a rest. Just to give you an idea of what has been going on behind the scenes, with the exception of Christmas holidays and the month of July the TSCON Executive has met weekly for the past eighteen years. This has taken an extraordinary amount of effort and time on the part of the Executive members and with a friendlier government in power for the next couple of years we hope that the situation on the firearm front will be more stable and require less continuous scrutiny than has previously been required. For that reason, we will now meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month plus extra nights when the only activity will be assembly of the current newsletter. As usual, TSCON members are welcome to join us at any Executive meeting.

Turnout exceeded our expectations. Over 400 people were in attendance. Following the meeting several people stayed behind to discuss what more could be done to fight for the rights of gun owners in the Niagara Peninsula. Another rally was planned for January 1995. Again turnout was more than expected. Over 2,000 people crowded into the hall, and hundreds more were turned away at the door due to lack of space. Following the second meeting, organizers decided it would be prudent to create a permanent structure to organize rallies, lobby local politicians and co-ordinate pro-gun activities in the Niagara area. This structure is now the Sporting Clubs of Niagara. Since then we have:

Mail Right to Silence CardsWe continue to hear horror stories of police abusing their powers when dealing with firearm owners, including one incident where a police officer parked outside a gun club and pulled over a member leaving the club for no reason except that there might be firearms in the car (after all it was a GUN club). Our laminated wallet-sized cards declare your right to remain silent and your right to ask for a lawyer when it appears the police are overstepping their authority and questioning you in dubious circumstances. These cards are proving extremely popular (which is a little scary when you think of it). We are only asking for $1 per card to defray the cost of production. If you want cards mailed to you please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your request. More info on this is on our website in archived copies of newsletter Vol. 11 #4 and Vol. 12 #1. |
