The beginning oet the' md off the mvii dàrknmss. 1994. The darknmss thrmatmns the good once again. 50 years ago, thousands of Canadian soldiers stormPed the beaches -of Normandy. They fougbt the National Socialists (Nazis) and biought honour to Canada. 50 years ago, these young men and boys fought and died so as Canadians and the Worid may be free frorn tyranny. Free fiom a government that had invented many a lie to support their dlaims and justify their actions. They lied about the Jews, using themt as scapegoats to re-direct the anger and frustration of citizenry. They lied about the guns ciaiming that citizens didn't have a legitimnate need for guns. Now, once again, Canadians stand at the edge of the darkness. Once again, lies are being told. This time by the left wing Socialists, both in and out of the government. Citizens don't need guns. If we remove hand guns and semi-automatic rifles, the left wing version of an assault weapon, crime will go away. The truth is, as confîrmed by various goverument statistics, legally owned guns play little or no part in crime in Canada. The truth is there are no assault weapons (full auto) legally for sale in Canada. Let's understand this completely "There are no assault weapons legally for sale in Canada." The truth is that the left wing within the Liberal party, a large portion of the media and others of the darkness wish to dlaim that some semi-automatic rifles are assault weapons. Why? Because they look different. They may be all the same inside, but they look different on the outside. What they don't tell you is that many a hunting rifle is se mi-automatic, many a duck gun is semi-automatic. The differences are only skin deep. But truth and honesty is and neyer was important to the darkside. What is important is - little by little we will get ail the guns. First the false assault guns, then the semi-automatic hand guns. They wil then collect the rest of the hand guns. AIl the time this goes on, the rest of the sbooting sports and hunters will be assured that they don't want their guns. It is of paramount importance that they keep the shooters and hunters calm and divided. Mien they get the first group they can then turn on the rest, and they surely ivili. The dark side of the media to which many of these politicians pander to will insist. First the rifles, lien the shot guns. Then and only then xii the darkness feel complete. Then and only then, wili we realize just how many young men and boys died in vain. lt's tîme now for the good to stand together We 'caîl upon the liberal politicians to tumn away from the dark side within your ranks. To stop pandering to the left wing media flants that seek to control the Country without benefit of election. To reject the shock troops )that exist, only to fight against guns, perpetuating myths and lies. We cail upon the Liberals that have lost their way to return to the middle ground. That great expanse of land where the majority of honest and decent Canadians exist. That area that has made the Liberals great in the past. We caîl upon the Liberals and aIl politicians to be true to their Country and make iaws that truiy address the eica us-esof -crimeqand voene We cali upon ail politicians and the rest of Canada to remember june 6, 1944. The beginning of the end of the evil darkness. t.et it not retumn.
