Canada’s latest gun control proposals are stirring controversy—and not for the reasons you might expect. In this episode, Shane Hewitt talks with journalist Matt Gurney about why these policies may be more about politics than public safety. Gurney argues that the government is targeting legal gun owners while ignoring the real threat: illegal firearms and organized crime. The conversation explores how political pandering, enforcement gaps, and legacy policymaking are shaping a flawed approach to gun control.
Takeaways include why enforcement is nearly impossible, how public sentiment is being sidelined, and what this means for accountability in Canadian governance.
