Advocacy
The evidence should exist before the *cheque*
A $742 million firearms program should not need an access request to find its public-safety argument. Licensed owners deserve evidence before policy burden.
New Shooters
Practical guides, course context, first-rifle choices, and calm explanations for Canadians entering licensed firearms ownership.
Gear
The rifle is not the *scandal*
A current Global News story about Cadex rifles in Russia should make Canadian shooters proud of the gear and much less patient with policy aimed at the wrong people.
Advocacy
The law is already *heavy*
A current Canadian legal explainer says the quiet part clearly: firearms law is already heavy. The real policy question is aim.
Gear
The best first precision rifle is still a *.22*
Current Canadian rimfire matches show the sane way into precision shooting: start small, learn wind and position, and let targets decide what gear actually matters.
Gear
The FRT is not the *law*
The RCMP's Firearms Reference Table is useful gear intelligence, but it is not the rulebook. New Canadian shooters should learn that distinction early.
Advocacy
The *suitcase* is the policy failure
A CityNews report on an alleged 89-firearm smuggling attempt into Canada shows the policy gap Ottawa keeps stepping around: the regulated owner is visible, while the real handgun pipeline is elsewhere.
Advocacy
The portal says *wait*
Public Safety's May 7 update tells owners to wait for notification and a funding agreement before disposal. That small instruction says a lot about the buyback.
Advocacy
The prize list is the *point*
CCFR's Raining Guns contest worked because it made lawful Canadian firearms ownership visible as regulated property, business support, and ordinary gear culture.
Advocacy
The exemption is the *warning light*
B.C.'s new FVPA sells itself as gang law. The warning for lawful shooters is the exemption: if ordinary range activity needs carving out, the law was wider than advertised.
Advocacy
Saskatchewan put a receipt on the *ban*
Saskatchewan's new appraisal service turns the federal buyback fight back into property, storage, receipts, and the lawful owners Ottawa keeps finding first.
Advocacy
The gun show is not a *loophole*
A busy May 2 gun show listing in Ontario is a useful reminder: in Canada, the gun show is not a loophole. It is one of the last human places where new shooters can learn gear, law, and culture at the same table.
Precision
The .22 moment: rimfire is the path into Canadian precision
Rimfire precision gives new Canadian shooters a practical way into the sport while centrefire costs and policy pressure keep rising.
