Taking guns from law-abiding gun owners is like taking cars from sober people to tackle drunk driving!

After 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.

In the latest edition of "Get woke go broke" Metroland Media announced on September 15, 2023 that they will be declaring bankruptcy and terminating the print editions of 70 weekly papers. This will result in the loss of over 600 jobs. This announcement comes only five months after Metroland stated they would not accept any advertisements with the word "gun" or "firearm". (See previous article.)

Metroland blamed the decision on competition from online sources. Perhaps the fact that they were trying to ram big city liberal viewpoints down the throats of small town readers might also have something to do with it.

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.

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.

2018 Shoot for Abbi at Decew Gun Club

Because 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.

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.

Firearm owners have to act now and write to your MP's raising this issue. Some statistics taken from the government website can be found here. Also, some great talking points and other usefull links can be found here at CSSA website.

Bill C-71 is the cousin of Bill C-68 brought forth by JT's father. There is no mention of anything that even comes remotely close to gangs, crime nor criminality reduction. In fact, Liberals brought out Bill C-75 which reduces sentences for criminals. There is 75,000 signatures against Bill C-71. We also have a muslim mosque that collected just 75 signatures to ban assualt weapons (aka civilian carbines) and this muslim petition of just 75 signatures is what the government is noticing; yet, our tax paying citizens' petition of 75,000 signatures against Bill C-71 gets ignored as if it never existed.

Remember, when a Police officer has a so called assualt weapon, its considered a 'carbine'; however, when a civilian owns it, its nothing but an assault weapon. FYI, assualt weapons' true definition is a fully-automatic firearm. The definition has been hiped up and twisted to make semi-auto firearms sound so much more scary. FYI, 'assualt' is an action, not an object.

London now has a huge murder rate, higher than New York, yet, London has had a gun ban for years and years. The latest vehicle attack in Toronto, Canada, killed over 10 people but that's no big deal cause a firearm wasn't used. If a firearm was used instead of a vehicle, the media and the CBC would be over heating right now to try and ban firearms.

[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

First we want to extend a big "Thank You" to everyone who showed up to the Thorold town council meeting to oppose the proposed firearm discharge by-law in Thorold.

Despite only a few hours notice we were able to mobilize about 50 people to attend the meeting and it certainly got the attention of the Councillors.

The motion to pass the by-law has been deferred indefinitely.
