I can think of 23 Canadians, offhand, who could have benefited from having one a few weeks ago.

Too bad they're not around to talk about it any more.

A modern semi-auto sporting rifle, is not a military grade fully automatic assault weapon.

you're making a big assumption that what you think is right is best for them.
once you change that mindset, and we get our noses out of other people's business, the world will be a better place.
It's your responsibility to stand against an immoral act regardless of who is doing it and its location.

Simply saying I stand against it will suffice. When a mugger puts a luger in your rib cage as you walk down the street you can surely see the distinction of giving him the wallet vs consenting to the act, no?

So again, I ask you as an individual (not a government or a corporation) do you believe an involuntary 3rd party has the right to infringe upon he right of someone to own property as well as the freedom of association and movement?

Darn, problem solved.

Or, illegal smuggling of these types of firearms into Canada will actually increase due to the ban.


Wait, what?
The base I worked on for 20 years had a large theft of weapons once. 20 M 14s in this haul. The culprits were caught but had already fenced the rifles. Only one was ever recovered.

In Canada. Yes, I'm certain that banning legal arms sales of the 1500 firearms on Trudeau's hit list to law abiding citizens will stop weapons smuggling into Canada.

But hey if this is what Canadians want and they believe it will make them safe have at it. Just keep it in their side if the border

Wasn’t the last mass shooting done with a shotgun there?

Anyway, it’s not going to be last mass shooting in Canada with a black scary looking gun, ban or not. I can guarantee it.

Has anybody seen the list of some 1,500 weapons covered by this new Canadian ban?

Got a link or reference?

Could be one of those Nancy Pelosi type of deals - gotta pass it to see what's in it.

Like the Remington 7400. Yea, that's "military grade" all right. .........
You sure about that? It's a bonafide hunting rifle:

It wasn't about assault rifles though. It is about semi auto "military style" rifles which wraps up features that have no affect on a rifles parameters.


Thankfully I know there are Canadians that see through this "Feelz Good, Darn it we are doing something!" nonsense and call it for what it is.

“Justin Trudeau is using the current pandemic and the immediate emotion of the horrific attack in Nova Scotia to push the Liberals’ ideological agenda to make major firearms policy changes,” said the Conservative leader, Andrew Scheer, following Trudeau’s comments. “Taking firearms away from law-abiding citizens does nothing to stop dangerous criminals who obtain their guns illegally.”

You need more Andrew Scheer types and less Justin Trudeau types regarding this particular topic.
