Media Advisory
March 7, 2025

Today’s Liberal government announcement is as deceitful and deceptive as every other action they’ve taken on the firearm file. Since 2020, the Liberals have insisted that their relentless targeting of exclusively licensed gun owners has had no effect on hunting or sport shooting. This is clearly and entirely false. In fact licensed gun owners are the only group that have been targeted by everything the Liberals have done on guns.

Since 2020, the Liberals have insisted that there are innumerable replacements for the firearms they were banning. The Prime Minister himself even announced on CTV that inevitably the Liberals will have to ban some firearms that license gun owners have been using for hunting, but they can simply replace those firearms with others that are not on the list.

And as predicted, almost every year since then, they have generated lists of the firearms that Canadians have spent untold sums of their own resources replacing their banned firearms, all the while trusting the government at its word. The Liberals have gleefully and overtly enjoyed the misplaced trust of gun owners and the damage they have caused them.

The CCFR cannot adequately condemn the Liberals, the NDP, and the Bloc Quebecois for supporting this treatment of only those in our country who follow the rules to the letter. It is yet another betrayal and a black mark on Canada’s history, its relationship with the government, and its relationship with the RCMP. The conduct of all the above towards law-abiding, hard-working citizens is nauseating and immoral.

It should not be overlooked that while the government is damaging the above-mentioned relationships beyond repair, gun toting criminals are still kicking in Canadian doors and letting bullets fly on Canadian streets. Liberals haven’t lifted a finger to stop this.

The CCFR is laser focused on fighting these measures without end. We will not rest until these measures are repealed and those who show such contempt to society’s most trusted citizens are held accountable for their actions.
