Conservative MP Blaine Calkins believes the Trudeau Liberals want to take away his firearms.

And to that, the Alberta native says they must pry them from his "cold, dead hands."

Calkins rose in the House during members' statements on Monday to highlight that Liberals will debate a resolution at their biennial convention later this month calling on any future Grit governments to reduce the number of firearms in Canada.

And to Calkins, who represents the Alberta riding of Wetaskiwin, that means Liberals already have a "plan to confiscate rifles and shotguns from law-abiding Canadian firearms owners."

Calkins said Liberals have not moved beyond when former justice minister Allan Rock said only cops and the military should possess firearms.

"If the Liberal leader wants my guns, he can pry them from my cold, dead hands," he said to great applause.

The reference will remind many of Charlton Heston's famous speech to the National Rifle Association convention in 2000.
