Robin Dean Wuttunee: Poster-Criminal for our Broken Firearms Prohibition Order System
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, when will you fix Canada’s failed Firearm Prohibition Order system so violent repeat offenders like Robin Dean Wuttunee can’t endanger the lives of innocent Canadians?
Jacques Roy: Poster-Criminal for Canada’s Broken Firearm Prohibition Order System
After repeated arrests for drug trafficking, violence and breaching numerous Firearm prohibition Orders, why was Jacques Roy not in jail?
Why won’t our our judicial system protect society from proven threats to public safety, like Jacques Roy?
Alain Gamache: Poster-Criminal for Everything Wrong with Canada’s Firearm Prohibition Order System
Alain Gamache epitomizes the revolving door justice system so many front-line police officers complain about. These officers do their job, get the violent criminal off the streets only to see them released days later to carry on their life of crime.
PAL/RPAL Holders: Do NOT Install PocketWell App
So, my gun owning friends, if you value your Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) or your Restricted Possession and Acquisition License (RPAL) avoid the government of Canada’s Pocketwell app like the plague.
Teneal Richards: Poster-Criminal for Broken Firearm Prohibition Order System
It may be a surprise to you, but it’s no surprise to me that our justice system lost track of another violent offender and repeat violator of a Firearm Prohibition Order.
Andrew Jason Hudder: Poster-Criminal for Canada’s Broken Firearm Prohibition Order System
“I do not necessarily agree with the Crown’s suggestion that Andrew Jason Hudder is firmly entrenched in a criminal lifestyle such that an exceptional sentence is needed, despite the firearm with the serial number scratched off, the location of the firearm – strapped to his chest – and comments from the Parole Board of Canada of Mr. Hudder’s association with a security threat group during his last period of federal incarceration.”
How Stupid Must these Licensed Gun Owners Be?
Calvin Warren-Grandbois, Michael Steinke and Bradley Smigorowsky must be a special kind of stupid to think they could get away with legally buying guns and selling them to criminals already under Firearm Prohibition Orders.

A 24-year-old drug dealer with an existing Firearms Prohibition Order against him was arrested again on February 19, 2021, this time with $14,000 of cocaine and a loaded, stolen .45 calibre handgun.
It will come as no surprise to regular readers that his Firearm Prohibition Order did nothing to stop this young man from re-offending – a notion Public Safety Minister Bill Blair still cannot wrap his head around.
Guns and Ammo Found in Abandoned Storage Unit
Imagine this scenario. You’re the owner of a storage unit rental company and, after a customer fails to pay their bill after their lease expired, you open the storage unit to empty it out so you can rent it to a new customer – presumably one who will pay their bill.
Instead of a quick clearing out of whatever your deadbeat renters left behind, you discover two rifles, two wooden crates of ammunition and a couple more boxes filled with even more ammunition.
Drug and Gun Smuggling Ring Busted
Congratulations to Cornwall Police Service for their part in shutting down a sophisticated smuggling operation that used Akwesasne territory on Cornwall Island to smuggle drugs south and illegal guns north.
In the process, Cornwall Police took down a well-known criminal with a Firearms Prohibition Order against him – not that the piece of paper stopped this repeat offender from obtaining more illegal guns.
Winnipeg Police Arrest Drug Dealer Violating Firearms Prohibition Order
Drug dealers love their illegal guns. That’s the theme I see repeated every week as I track how many criminals are re-arrested for violating the Firearm Prohibition Orders against them because of a previous run-in with the law.
Today’s commentary continues this series about Canada’s failed and broken Firearm Prohibition Order system and the criminals who flagrantly violate those orders.

Another Drug Dealer with Firearm Prohibition Order Busted with Illegal Guns and Drugs
Tyler Busch is a prime example of why Canada’s Firearm Prohibition Order system is broken and must be fixed.

Busch was arrested and charged with breaching a firearms prohibition order and the street was shut down due to a possible bomb scare.
An OPP Bomb Unit attended the scene to assist North Bay Police with clearing the house of what appears to be a meth lab.
New Zealand’s Proposed Firearm Prohibition Order System Gets It Right
“Firearms Prohibition Orders (FPOs) would give police greater powers to take firearms of violent criminals. This is a sensible piece of legislation that would go some way to keeping the public safe, but the Government continues to refuse to support it.”
Simeon Brown has a valid point.
After reading his proposed legislation, I don’t understand why the New Zealand government opposes Arms (Firearms Prohibition Orders) Amendment Bill (No 2) either.
Josh Benoit-Wilson: 48 Counts of Violating Firearm Prohibition Order
Josh Benoit-Wilson is one of those delightfully violent young men who Bill Blair, our Minister of Public Safety, loves to ignore while he focuses on confiscating guns from licensed firearm owners.

Bill Blair: The blood of this 12-year-old boy is on your hands
Your complete and utter failure cost this 12-year-old boy his life. Your blatant refusal to reform Canada’s broken Firearm Prohibition Order system means this poor family must mourn their lost son for the rest of their lives. Reforming Canada’s broken Firearm Prohibition Order system will save hundreds of lives every year. Why is this not important to you?
Matthew Marty Powder: Firearms Prohibition Order Violator Killed by Police
On September 18, 2020, following a confrontation with police, Matthew Marty Powder was shot and killed by members of the Edmonton Police Service when he challenged them while holding a loaded firearm.
Powder was subject to three lifetime firearm prohibition orders – none of which prevented Powder from illegally obtaining a shotgun and ammunition for it.
The American Firearm Prohibition Order System is Broken Too
While I devote thousands of words every month to the colossal failure that is Canada’s firearm prohibition order system, keeping guns out of the hands of violent criminals and domestic abusers isn’t a purely Canadian problem.
Case in point: 28-year-old Davante Doss from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Marc Anthony Lerat: Another Firearm Prohibition Order System Failure
As far as I can piece the timeline together, Marc Anthony Lerat’s arrest for violating his lifetime firearms prohibition order came days after the January 5th murder of his then-girlfriend, Keesha Cree Alexandra Bitternose, by another violent Regina man with a firearms prohibition order against him – Dillon Ricky Whitehawk.
BC Judge Rescinds Lifetime Firearms Prohibition Order
You may initially be surprised that I wholeheartedly support this ruling given my constant railing against our broken Firearms Prohibition Order System.
What makes this case different is the amazing power of redemption in a man who is committed to turning his life around.
Adam Pichette: 5 Firearm Prohibition Orders Can’t Stop Him from Getting a Gun
Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante: “we don’t want people to walk around with guns.”
The only people walking around Montreal (or any other Canadian city) with guns are police officers and violent, career criminals like Adam Pichette.
Firearm Prohibition Order Imposed After Nasty Breakup
Mr. AP legally owed his firearms and possessed a valid Possession and Acquisition Licence.
But, and I’m sure I’ll receive hate mail for this, a valid PAL does not mean Mr. AP behaved rationally after his relationship ended.
It was Mr. AP ’s “unpredictable behaviour”, as testified to by Constable Jillian Pollett of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, that set this firearms prohibition ball in motion in the first place.
Alberta Man Charged with Trafficking 3D Printed Firearm Parts
