Trudeau Just Passed The Most Extreme Anti Gun Legislation Yet.
Canada is showing us exactly what happens when you don't have a constitutional right to bear arms. Canada recently had a shooting in Nova Scotia where 22 people died so they are of course punishing the rest of the law-abiding gun owners in Canada,
"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced last week that, in the wake of the largest mass shooting in Canada’s history, the Liberal government would be unilaterally outlawing at least 1,500 “assault-style” firearms, “effective immediately,” including, it now seems, shotguns, hunting rifles, airsoft guns, and even gun-related websites.
In a speech last week, Trudeau “announced the ban of over 1,500 models and variants of assault-style firearms, including two guns used by the gunman as well as the AR-15 and other weapons that have been used in a number of mass shootings in the United States,”
Canada has no Second Amendment, so the government can ban weapons without running afoul of enumerated Constitutional rights. But it seems Canadian government officials weren’t particularly clear — or were intentionally vague — about the definition of an “assault weapon” and, according to a list published Monday, the list of banned guns includes 10- and 12-gauge shotguns — a necessity for hunting in many of Canada’s more remote locales — hunting rifles, a BB gun, and even the website AR15.com."
"You do not need an AR-15 to take down a deer," Trudeau said. "So, effective immediately, it is no longer permitted to buy, sell, transport, import or use military-grade, assault weapons in this country.
There is a two-year amnesty period while the government creates a program that will allow current owners to receive compensation for turning in the designated firearms or keep them through a grandfathering process yet to be worked out.
Under the amnesty, the newly prohibited firearms can only be transferred or transported within Canada for specific purposes. Owners must keep the guns securely stored until there is more information on the buyback program.
"Trudeau said the weapons were designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time. "Today we are closing the market for military-grade assault weapons in Canada," he said.
This is why we fight for our right to bear arms here in the United States. If we didn't have that right we would have lost this right to libs a long time ago. Canadians have to fight off grizzly bears and depending on how north they live, polar bears, they need rifles to take on these threats, This is the government overstepping attacking everyone over one bad egg. Leaders of countries need to stop making national policy over isolated incidents like this. It is tragic that it happened, but there is no reason to punish the rest of the country for the actions of one madman.
