Canadian Assault weapons ban and buyback?

Anybody up North know anything about it? NPR article says trudeau wants to implement an assault weapons ban and a buyback program within the next year, and that they likely have the votes to pass it. Mentioned in last paragraph of the article. Article

They'll Love that Idea!

Can’t happen I was told they have more freedom then we do.

Serves them right for electing a liberal idiot.

Boco has repeated that opinion many times hasn’t he?

Well Now...... who told you that?

That article cracks me up, they give you all the reasons for the "uptick" of gun issues in Toronto, more gun control isn't going to fix it. Man, talk about not seeing the forest for all the trees lol.

Shouldn’t you stick to your own countries issues? Or scratch the rust off some scrap metal?

Hi pot, I'm kettle, nice to meet ya eh. Out of respect for the OP, how about we stay on topic eh?

Their plan is to pass this mess via order in council

The NDP (socialists) and BQ (separatist socialists) will prop them up.. there is no "main party" in Canada aside from the Conservatives that will not enthusiastically support gun control and press for more.

The trade unions will betray all the gun owners in their ranks and will support ANY party but the Conservatives and will pressure their membership to do the same.

Even our Conservatives are not nearly as interested in preserving personal freedoms as they should be.

We also have a huge number of "Fudds" in Canada who believe that their .30-06 that they drag out once a year to go drinking in the woods (moose hunting) is not a direct target of these attacks and they say stupid things like "Who needs and AR15 to hunt?"... "Who needs a handgun? We're not the USA!"

They'll be the ones crying when the RCMP throws their Pepe's Ithaca semi auto into the foundry...

the police chief for Winnipeg was on the news the other day.

he gets it he said 100% of all handguns they are seeing in arrests in Winnipeg are illegal and were illegally obtained.
so making owning a handgun in Winnipeg illegal will only hurt the people who already are not causing crime that shoot at gun clubs , that only transport to and from gun clubs or may even keep their gun at the club.

that making Winnipeg "handgun Free" will do nothing to change crime , nothing it might make a few ignorant people feel better for a few minutes , but it is a complete waste of time.

Catch 22 that was funny and true.

Oh yeah Catch, I forgot only you can wink and call people names on here.

thats 2 pills-4 times a day guys.

Instead of arguing about who's best at calling names and working with metal, maybe you'd care to tell us your thoughts on an assault weapons ban and buyback in your country?

pretty sure i peed a little when i read that.

Honestly I don’t stress any about those kind of things. I continue on and the government will do what they want no matter what I or how many million others say.
I can guarantee my way of life will not change if they ban assault weapons or not!

Those are my thoughts!

Rex, the reason for my comment to Catch22 is because he made a comment to me saying the same thing on a different post.

Unfortunately we do not have a 2nd ammendment right entrenched in our constitution like your republic does. Your founding fathers were the only ones of any nation to have the foresight to see the incredible value and need for such a law. We in Canada have no such inherent right, and as such we are completely at the mercy of those in power. Sad sad days.

The Forrest is shrinking, because the trees keep voting for the axe. The axe is clever, and assures them, that he is one of them because his handle is made of wood!

X2, so true.

This" bunny/tree huggin "H/S--- is only getting worse up here, and we have no light at the end of the tunnel, showing a chance that it will change. Pretty sad for some of the younger generation.

Every time some idiot shoots up a school or a Walmart it just drives another nail in the coffin.

Good quote

So since the Canadians have no 2A and a liberal majority government, and a feckless conservative minority government, and a populace that doesn't seem to care, what recourse short of armed revolution do those who still care have? Short of armed revolution, do they just have to bend over and take it?

we'd never let that happen,MAGA,and keepin an eye on canada--just soon as they sign that trade agreement.

Well since Quebec, Northern Ontario and such are basically French, every household has white flags at the ready lol. I jest but it doesn't look good for them to the east anyways.

Tell that to Boco!

You can see the vary same dynamics of gun violence as the U.S. Gangs, drugs, a larger separation between the higher and lower classes, mental health issues, more homeless, suicides. IMO suicides should not be considered a violent Crime. Suicides is not a crime against society or another person. We never hear about all the other attempts of suicide. Just weapons. JMO

You are 100% correct, it will depend on how your government defines assault weapon. Here in NY according to Cuomo and his bozos , even a semi auto shotgun with a thumb hole stock is a assault weapon.

So to Canadians that say what do you need a AR for, you will find out.

What are the Canadians going to need an AR for?

My point is , many hunting shotguns and rifles will be defined as assault weapons. So complacent people who don’t see the need for owning a AR, will find out that their law makers will not stop with just ARs. They will ask them the same question. Why do you need that semi auto shotgun with a thumb hole stock, 742 Rem semi auto deer rifle , etc.. if I can para phrase , anti- gunner, sleepy Joe Biden, all you need is a double barrel shotgun.

Soon enough, the Canadian government will be asking "what do you need that musket for? The government will take care of you."

We didn't have 'pet rocks' when I was a kid. We had assault rocks. We threw them at each other.

We had dirt clods, the dreaded black dirt clod that struck terror into everyone just by its shape and color.

They can outlaw every gun ever made-it still wont stop people from having guns,it'll just make them outlaws.
Just like when the libs brought in the registry-nobody I knew registered any guns,and when the conservatives got back in it was scrapped anyway.
Be no different with these lib arseholes.

and that works for them.
