Now why does that not give me warm fuzzies?
Just let Trudeau go out in the Canadian northwest and meet up with the Hungry brown bear or a Brown Bear mother with cubs. He will regret the day he band the weapons.lurker wrote: Fri May 01, 2020 6:41 pm considering that nearly all of my rifles are either USGI or "clones" of such, something like this here would gut the recent end of my collection: ar15, m14 clone, m1 garand. assuming they're not interested in bolt rifles.
link is updated. specifically mentions mini14 and AR15. apparently the shooter had no permits necessary to possess guns and bought some in the US. looks like trudeau wants to ban handguns too.
Canada requires licensing for ownership, and the shooter was not licensed and went to great lengths to violate existing law. This was an opportunity to punish those who had nothing to do with it and ban firearms.senorgrand wrote:Do we even know what the shooter used? The government has been super hush-hush about it (although they had no problems telling us the name of the shooter).
yes, it would appear that this has nothing in particular to do with the nova scotia shooting.DispositionMatrix wrote: Fri May 01, 2020 10:29 pm This was an opportunity to punish those who had nothing to do with it and ban firearms.
yep, there it is, item 89, poly technologies semi m14. if you've been jonesing for an m14 we might be importing them from canada soon.
I seriously doubt they would ban alcohol in Canada. That would cause an uprising for sure.Bisbee wrote: Sat May 02, 2020 12:25 am Well, this sucks balls. They don't have the equivalent of a 2nd Amendment do they? So this ban was available to lawmakers at any moment. And when the next lunatic breaks all laws and illegally smuggles arms across the borders for a mass shooting, they'll ban alcohol consumption in the country. -Because they can.
The ban will be enacted through regulations approved by cabinet, not through legislation in Parliament. Andrew Scheer, the interim leader of the opposition Conservative Party, accused Trudeau of “using the current pandemic and the immediate emotion of the horrific attack in Nova Scotia to push the Liberals’ ideological agenda and make major firearms policy changes.”
According to Statistics Canada, a firearm was used in 249 homicides in 2018, the most recent year for which data was available. A handgun was used in 143 of them. Shotguns, fully automatic firearms, sawed-off rifles and unknown guns were used in the rest.
He'll probably do it via an Order in Council, since Parliament is not sitting because of the virus. Trudeau's Liberals lost a lot of seats in the Western Provinces, he leads a minority government and this order alienates more Westerners.Gun ownership is relatively common in Canada; the country ranked fifth in a 2018 global survey of civilian firearms per capita. But mass shootings are rarer than in the neighboring United States.
A spate of gun violence in recent years has fueled an increasingly divisive debate over gun control, largely pitting city dwellers, who tend to favor more restrictions, against those in rural Canada.
During prohibition in the US most of the so called "rum runners" brought in booze from Canada because it was still legal there.Bisbee wrote: Sat May 02, 2020 12:25 am Well, this sucks balls.
