The Canadian Shooting Sports Association congratulates the Conservative Party of British Columbia and all its elected members on winning a majority government.

We look forward to seeing how the new government responds to the federal fi****ms confiscation program. Alberta and Saskatchewan have taken steps to oppose provincial participation, and we hope British Columbia will follow a similar approach.

Congratulations to Premier-designate Lorne Doerkson and the newly elected members. We look forward to engaging with your government on this important issue.

PolySeSouvient is angry that the Fi****ms Classification Technical Advisory Group still has not met, nearly a year after it was announced.

We are concerned for a more fundamental reason: the government will not even say who is on it.

Public Safety says the group will bring together “diverse” views and meet “later this fall.” That is not transparency. It is another closed process that could lead to further prohibitions affecting licensed fi***rm owners, hunters, and sport shooters, without meaningful representation from the people most affected.

Past advisory panels have excluded Canada’s major fi****ms organizations. For this group, the government has released no names, disclosed no qualifications, and offered no confirmation that licensed owners or people with practical fi****ms expertise are included.

Licensed PAL holders are already screened and subject to ongoing eligibility checks. Yet they continue to face new restrictions developed through processes that offer little transparency and no assurance of meaningful representation.

Canadians deserve to know who is advising the government, what qualifications they bring, and whose perspectives are represented before their recommendations influence future fi***rm classifications.

Release the membership list. Include hunters, sport shooters, licensed owners, and genuine technical experts. No more decisions behind closed doors.

An AR 15 is not an SKS.

Mainstream media outlets keep using the same dramatic AR 15 image as generic background art for Canadian fi***rm stories, even when the fi***rm being discussed is an SKS.

These fi****ms do not look the same and should not be presented as if they are interchangeable.

So why does the same image keep appearing?

Is the media simply choosing a dramatic stock photo, or is it trying to misdirect Canadians and shape how they react before they understand the facts?

If the story is about an SKS, show an SKS.

Canadians deserve accurate images, accurate terminology, and honest reporting.

“She Ain’t Gettin’ My SKS” is an original song by the Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA), created to be shared with Canada’s fi****ms community and supporters.

Canada’s shooting clubs have a key role in building the next generation of responsible gun owners.

Carleton University’s recent range day filled all 43 available spots and generated a waitlist. By providing fi****ms, supervision, transportation and clear instructions, organizers removed the barriers that often keep newcomers from trying the shooting sports.

It’s a practical model other Canadian clubs can learn from.

2.4 million licensed fi***rm owners.�Not a problem. Not a threat. Not the issue.

Hunters. Competitors. Precision shooters. Action shooters. Sh***un athletes. Hand gunners. Long-range specialists.

Every discipline. One community that trains, gets licensed, and follows the law.

While politicians chase headlines and confiscation schemes, these are the people who actually show up — responsible, regulated, and Canadian.

This is the real picture of fi***rm ownership in this country.
