'They’re not criminals': Thousands of lawful gun owners show up in Quebec City!
Law-abiding gun owners and their supporters held a rally outside of the Quebec legislature, with attendees saying the government is unfairly targeting those who follow the rules.
Outside the National Assembly of Quebec, owners of legally acquired firearms and their supporters gathered to protest the federal government’s firearm “buyback” program. Participants travelled from across Quebec and other provinces, arguing that the policy unfairly targets licensed gun owners.
One man said he drove to Quebec City “to support the Quebec firearms owners — they’re licensed, they’re legal, they’re not criminals.”
On site, Tracey Wilson, vice-president of the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights, criticized Quebec’s cooperation with Ottawa, stating, “Instead of from criminals, they’re going to take the guns of law-abiding Quebecers. Quebecers do not deserve this.”
She added, “If the gun grab starts in Quebec, let’s see it end in Quebec.”

Another attendee framed the policy as political strategy, saying, “It’s all politics. [Public Safety Minister] Gary Anandasangaree’s been on record saying this is all politics, that it won’t work.”
Jason Warren, Quebec director for the CCFR, argued restrictions focus on “low-hanging fruit” because “it’s easy for politicians to attack gun owners.” He insisted, “We know that we’re not the problem.”

Media coverage was also criticized. One participant alleged that the “mainstream media… is bought and paid by the government,” claiming that before Canadians receive the news, “it’s washed, it’s rinsed, and it’s spun.”
The CCFR's Wilson added that recent tragedies are used by opponents, arguing, “These tragedies present an opportunity to the anti-gun lobby to put that on the backs of good people.”
Concerns were also raised about the amnesty period ending October 30. Wilson warned the policy risks “criminalizing 2.4 million Canadians,” describing it as “a big show to please the anti-gun lobby.”
Although Quebec’s public safety minister recently stated that “nobody will come and confiscate the firearm,” Warren responded, “It’s a federal law… he cannot say to the people” that enforcement will not occur, noting that if Ottawa sends the RCMP, “he cannot stop that.”

Marilyn Hagerman commented 2026-03-04 18:26:44 -0500Carney runs this country like one of the country’s cartel gang leaders! Canada can like it or lump it!! The country could very well turn to rebellion as we’ve seen in Iran. A country with guns in almost all homes would not be in keeping with a dictator’s ability to rule – right? Has no one clued in to what may or may not lie ahead in Canada??
Do some historical research and compare Carney to Hitler! Huge confiscation of guns was ordered and accomplished before killing of the Jews began! Already we’ve seen a citizen arrested and jailed in Edmonton for threatening death to Carney – not in person, but simply for a written expression! Give serious thought to reactions of many Canadians if this confiscation bullshit is enforced – if your door is knocked on?? Carney’s already issued written warnings that you will be a law-breaker!!
This communist dictator needs to be reigned in and expelled – NOW – from our country!
