OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government plans to move ahead with legislation letting municipalities ban handguns within their borders, though he isn’t giving a timeline.
The Trudeau government on Friday outlawed a wide range of assault-style rifles, saying the guns were designed for the battlefield, not hunting or sport shooting.
The move has prompted criticism from both sides, with some like Ontario Premier Doug Ford saying it misses the mark by targeting legal gun owners while others say it doesn’t go far enough.
Trudeau acknowledged during his annual daily COVID-19 news conference in Ottawa this morning that the federal government has more work to do when it comes to guns, which is why it still plans to introduce legislation on handguns.
He also says the government will be looking to tighten up the border against gun smuggling and safe storage.
As for the timing, Trudeau would only say that the federal government would introduce the relevant legislation when Parliament, which is sitting in person only one day a week and holding virtual sessions twice a week because of COVID-19, “allows it.”
👍
Twinkle-toes is stepping dangerously close toward a ‘Dictatorship’ & as is with most tyrannical regimes.. he should be reminded of our ‘Humanitarian Efforts’ in Libya, lest he too ends up paraded around town in a limo full of ‘SNC-prostitutes’.. oh, wait my bad that was the diversion, the ‘regime’ ended a little differently, just sayin’.
REALLY!?
IS this BS gun control legislation really top priority right now!?
How about off peek hydro rates until our lives are back to normal!?
How about worrying about getting our lives back to normal! I am getting sick and tired of not being able to see my family and friends!
Trudeau’s gun control legislation isnt going to do Jack s**t to get illegal guns off the street, just like making drugs illegal didn’t get them off the street!
What a joke!
Hand guns are next to impossible to acquire and are heavily regulated as it is….
Who needs a military style weapon to “go hunting “ anyway. Grocery stores all have meat sections so stop whining and buy the meat you want to bbq. Hunters can be so annoying and childish !
Ivana, grocery stores are a friggin joke! I know where my meat comes from, do you!? I know that my meat that I harvest is 100% free from antibiotics, steroids and hormones! Can you say that about your grocery store meats!? No you can’t!
And when shit hits the fan do you know how to fend for your family when grocery stores run out of product and your family is starving!? I doubt it!
I know I do!!
And anyone that thinks there is a difference between a hunting rifle and a “Military Style” weapon is ignorant! Get educated!
Fully automatic weapons are already banned in Canada, and the difference between a military .308 rifle and a .308 hunting rifle is the body! That is it! The guts are the exact same!
Do some research before giving your 2 cents about a topic!
I’m assuming his bodyguards won’t carry handguns anymore.
About time these assault weapons are banned.
Roni Dunne do you even know what you are talking about , because it sure doesn’t appear like you do
Roni Dunne i totally agree with you
Roni Dunne 🙄
Roni Dunne assault weapons!! Lmao.. can you tell guns apart dude??
Martin Verdecchia I expressed MY opinion and could care less what u think.
Lorraine Rae Anne yes I can Dude!
Roni Dunne I highly doubt it unless you were educated by our fearless Leader in Ottawa
Roni Dunne no you can’t
Roni Dunne your opinion lacks facts
He is a joke. Catering to the bleeding hearts city folk that are sheep and looking for the fallacy of the easy peasy way out.
Robert Miller that’s just stupid.. people hunt.. ya know for food!!
Robert Miller well seeing as you seem to be the one butt hurt, how big is your dog? I do hunt and fish for pleasure and sustenance yes, have all my life as I was raised to do. However my reference was to the people that live in the citys, big or small that have never had the pleasure or the experience in the great outdoors and the hunting/fishing available in this beautiful country Canada. The people that seemingly have the ear of the equally bleeding hearts in politics that will seemingly take nearly every means that it takes to suckhole into those votes? Not sure whether you are a city dweller or where you live but maybe come out to where I live and hunt and educate yourself on how the reality of what these guns are used for,ummmmm besides killing the most people, in the fastest means possible!!!! Thinkin you need a bigger gun to fight a battle you seemingly have no educated clue about. Only my humble,farm born and raised opinion. Proud to be a Canadian farmer,hunter as well as avid outdoorsman. Will respectfully wait for your reply. Dig deep, you will need to to fight this with someone educated in the means of living and enjoying the true Great North of our CANADA!!!
Lorraine Rae Anne not with automatic weapons with 100 shot clips people hunt not for food they can get it from the grocery store . They like the power they feel when they decide what lives and what dies to kill any of Gods creatures is just an ego trip
THEY AINT STARVIN THEY JUST LOVE BLOWIN A LIVING THING TO BITS if it was a sport the critters would have guns to then it would be even
Lorraine Rae Anne dont bother me i hate guns period
Lorraine Rae Anne i dont find pleasure in killing anything guns were first and always made for one reason to kill
Dan Irwin so you love to kill Gods creatures the power over what lives and what dies you like bloodshed thats what you call pleasure??? No thanks
Lorraine Rae Anne what do you want ?????
Robert Miller I kill for sustenance only. Its not a thrill but is def a rush. Ive never missed at anything I shot nor wounded and animal and left it to die. I don’t expect everyone to see life the way I do. However I feel same disdain for city life. So lets agree to disagree.
Robert Miller the grocery store sells nothing healthy.. I wouldn’t buy big farmed meat.. how about you mind your business and let the hunters do what they do. You’re a fool
Lorraine Rae Anne how do these people think they get their beef,pork,poultry etc ? Does the meat fairy magically drop it off? Lmao. All those trucks that really smell heading east on the hwy are full of the last days of their steak n burgers lives lmao. They need to get a grip on reality!!!!!
lmao it’s called a meat plant bud. That’s how they get their meat, in awful inhumane ways. Give your brain a shake 😂
Ashley Rae-Anne Austere he knows that… it’s the other guy who doesnt
I dunno why it tagged him. My apologies
Ashley Rae-Anne Austere not inhumane at all. I am an ethical hunter and they do not suffer. I was taught how and where to shoot an animal so it does not suffer. Please educate yourself away from the mainstream media. Maybe Ted Nugent and look into his hunting ethics. Just one of many that hunt for sustenance ethically!!!
I’m literally cry laughing. Educate myself lmao. 🤦🏼♀️
Ashley Rae-Anne Austere you guys are on the same side.. no need to argue
Robert Miller you are gravely mistaken. My plessure is in having my families as well as my belly full. Sustenance. I believe in my God and also know that if it werent for ethical hunters the herds of Gods creatures would over run as well as become so inbred and starved due to lack of a food source due to more need of feed than the availability of the feed itself. Once again you show yourself to be a bleeding city heart that has no real clue nor justification behind your accusations due to lack of understanding regarding the laws of nature and the means to control and sustain the availability of our wildlife for generations to come behind us. I want to know that my children as well as their descendants for many years to come will have the ability to keep food in their freezer to feed their families due to ethical hunting teaching and practices. Please feel free to get off the bandwagon and educate yourself to what hunting ethically is really about and the enormous future benifits to everyone will be?
Ashley Rae-Anne Austere your ignorance of the reality of this situation shows you really do not understand this reality. Hence my comment regarding educate yourself. This goes back for many generations,passed down through the generations that everyone still has the means to sustain their families needs regarding feeding their families.
Dan Irwin there’s a way to do things humanely, which is why I shop local. I’m far from uneducated and my fiancé’s whole family hunts as well. Have a fantastic day
Lorraine Rae Anne I appreciate your support but thinking she is spouting out the mainstream media ideology that the former combatant was. I find it sad that people that have never been in the position that through life it was hunt or starve. I hope to ensure my kids and theirs will not ever be faced with that position. Thx again
Trudope is an idiot
Trudeau is a lowlife anti – Canadian Globalist.
The only truly non-globalist country is N.Korea. Is that what you’re proposing we move towards?
Theo Tugboat you are an idiot
Martin Verdecchia love you too Martin <3
Such an idiot, the criminals don’t have registered guns you moron, so actually you’re attacking law abiding people, while the criminals are free to do whatever they want. For sure you’re a lowlife Globalist Trudeau.
Only sheep applaud when government takes away thier rights.
People should be prepared to protect themselves should a worst case scenario arise.
This takes that right away from law abiding citizens, now only criminals and governments will have guns.
We aren’t the USA; we don’t have firearms as a right.
Tom Jolley where in our Constitution does it mention the right to bear arms? 🤔
Well, we should.
Replace the word “right” with ability, it doesn’t matter I stand by my point.
Theo Tugboat we have the right poses!! No one said anything about carry.. but people would think twice if assumed people were carrying!!
Jeffrey Roy the right to poses we have. Our constitution is defacto anyone due to Quebec not signing on years ago. But we do have a legal right to own guns..
Lorraine Rae Anne We abolutely, 100%, do not have the right to possess and never have.
Theo Tugboat are you retarded?!
We never had a right to own and register our guns legally?? Really? Lmao
Lorraine Rae Anne so you are talking about a privilege not a right, I get you.
Lorraine Rae Anne where specifically in the constitution does it mention right to bear arms? Get back to me when you find it.
Jeffrey Roy privilege by who’s say so?? What a bunch of idiots thinking you don’t have legal human rights.
Lorraine Rae Anne you go around calling people “stupid” and “retarded” but you have zero idea what you are talking and you should grow up.
Jeffrey Roy lol.. ya I’m just a little done with a a bunch of ignorant Canadians who have no clue what basic human rights is. I know exactly what I’m talking about and come from families that have always owned guns legally. You get caught up in government and black book law wording and have zero clue what YOU are talking about.
Lorraine Rae Anne I like that you’re doubling down, but you are still wrong. Look up “Canadian charter of rights” and get back to me. We are not the USA.
Theo Tugboat look up human rights… the oldest and truest law still to this day.😉
Lorraine Rae Anne There is literally no such thing.
Theo Tugboat FYI.. I have a certified copy of our charter of rights on my rec room wall… my husband has been to court using our human rights laws.. I don’t know if you think cause I’m a girl or something that I can’t possibly trump you? But I can and I just did.. I’m confident in my knowledge and the fact this “woman” knows what she’s talking about..
Lorraine Rae Anne Here’s our Constitution https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/const/page-15.html
Theo Tugboat I’m not talking about the defacto constitution!! Lmao 🤦♀️
Lorraine Rae Anne Can you show me where we are granted a universal right to own firearms on any legal document whatsoever as a Canadian?
Theo Tugboat can you look up human rights? I have all of it in paper work.. I’m not doing your homework for you.. how about you prove me wrong?? 💁♀️
Theo Tugboat We should.
Lorraine Rae Anne I did. Our rights are outlined on the page I sent. I can’t send you a document saying we all have “the human right to own a gun” because that document doesn’t exist. The burden of proof is on you, not me.
Lorraine Rae Anne But I did anyways https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/is-gun-ownership-a-legal-right-in-canada-1.2723893
I think Theo Tugboat is just here for a good laugh. I must admit the back and forth is rather amusing.
Communist.
Once again Marc; maybe brush up on your grade four social studies
Theo Tugboat Theo the paid leftist troll.
Marc Dupuis If you knew how much money I make from this you’d be a lot less critical of our democratic process
Marc Dupuis another fake profile keyboard warrior with a liberal arts degree
Jamie Milkovich Engineering, but you should be more concerned with giving your entire life away to Facebook and associated ad agencies. I thought conservatism was about individual liberty?
Theo Tugboat lol…..yeah I use to fix things that engineers made don’t flatter yourself
Jamie Milkovich I’m not, just responding to your question, and still not sure why you think it would change my opinion on this policy
Theo Tugboat I can’t change the mind of people that have no basic knowledge of firearms or the firearms act so I just stop arguing about it with people
Jamie Milkovich I have a PAL. I love shooting. I’d love to have an SKS. But I’m not blinded by my hobby into thinking that it’s a net positive on society, or that having a knockoff Armalite with a door breach is necessary. We already have had restrictions on weapons for decades, this isn’t a new idea. Nobody’s fighting to own live hand grenades.
Theo Tugboat how can you be so blind to see that this ban and buyback will change nothing and waste billions… Seeing as how you make so much money wouldn’t you rather see your tax dollars fixing the problem
Jamie Milkovich I make barely over minimum wage. Yes, I’d rather the money go towards healthcare, education, or stronger border security (because that would actually stop most illegal firearm sales), but it’s a step towards fewer guns in the system. It also means we have a stronger framework to persecute anyone pushing or importing weapons.
Theo Tugboat ok your rite yup yup yup
Jamie Milkovich No, it’s just my opinion on a topic. We don’t agree on it, but that’s why we have a democracy.
Theo Tugboat but we don’t when the government uses an OIC to force feed their “opinion”
Jamie Milkovich You are free to vote him out. I’m not voting Trudeau either, but the majority of his base supports this. That’s literally the system we’re working with. Majority wins. Gun owners (who do have a reason to be upset) are not the majority.
