Well if he had been on the super secret double prohibiting list.................
....Which is why we can only truly achieve our goal of complete public safety through house-to-house searches and confiscation of all weapons.... (Right after we get people to submit to mandatory virus testing. For the greater good, and all...)
I looked at the list and noticed that the FN FAL and its variants were not on the list. Nor were any Berettas or AK variants.
It seems the entire list bans mostly AR-15s and AR-10s.
“The country overhauled its gun control laws after Marc Lepine shot 14 women and himself to death at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique college in 1989.”
And firearms prohibitionists will not bother telling people that Gamil Gharbi (aka Marc Lepine) bought the Ruger Mini 14 semi automatic sporting rifle with a Firearms Acquisition Certificate given to him by a Montreal firearms officer who failed to conduct the required background check on him that would have likely revealed that Gharbi came from family background marked by physical and mental cruelty at the hands of his Algerian Muslim father, he had been turned down as a cadet for the Canadian military for mental instability, and was not able to hold down a job for long periods of time.
Also that the Montreal City Coroner determined that Gharbi’s use of a semi auto rifle had little or no impact on the death toll he achieved compared to poor response time by the police as they did not enter the computer sciences building at Ecole Polytechnique until 30 minutes after he began his rampage and ten minutes after he took his own life (the Montreal 911 centre gave police inaccurate address info as to where Gharbi was).
They are all based on the idea that some how, some way, a law on paper or some computer's hard drive will keep you safe from someone with murderous intent.
No "gun control" law will ever keep you safe. It is impossible.
Do you think posting a sign on the beach "No sharks allowed" would keep swimmers/surfers safe? Do you think posting a sign in the meadow "No wolves allowed" would keep a flock of sheep safe? Ok, obviously sharks and wolves can't read. But people can. So I guess laws against child abuse have stopped child abuse. Laws against taking street drugs have stopped the opioid crisis. Laws against domestic violence now keep partners and spouses safe. Laws against drunk driving have stopped those completely preventable accidents...
No??? But...???
Why in the world would anyone delude themselves into believing that someone with murderous intent, prepared to commit unspeakable acts of violence and break literally dozens of laws...would somehow be deterred or stopped by just one more "common sense" law? In what fantasy land of Unicorns farting gumdrop rainbows does a criminal stop when confronted by a sign, or a law? It is in their very nature as criminals - by definition they break laws!
The blindingly obvious result of this simple realization is that disarming law abiding citizens -- again by definition people who follow or obey "gun control" laws -- does not in any way make them safer. In fact it has been proven to increase crime across the board.
And yet, certain people keep pushing for more "gun control" using the notion of making the public safer. Bull***t. Stop lying. You, me, and the wolf stalking in the meadow know "gun control" has absolutely nothing to do with safety - unless you count safety for would-be tyrants with fascist dreams. You want to disarm law abiding citizens? Then stop jerking us off with this "safety" lie. Just come out and admit that you want to impose controls on the citizens and you don't think they'll stand for it. So before you can create your socialist/fascist utopia you've got to disarm us.
I don’t have links but the earliest reports indicated he shot the cop with a shotgun and then stole her weapons, which included the “assault weapon”.
Wonder how soon he will ban the lever action Winchester rifle as a moslem jihadi attacked Ottawa with a 30-30 rifle a few years back.
So if a guy rents a moving truck and runs over 100 people sidewalk, should we ban moving trucks? Should we ban automobiles because people drive drunk and kill people? Should we ban cell phones because kids are trying to text and drive and kill people?
And finally, do you trust this government AND ALL GOVERNMENTS IN THE FUTURE to NOT trample on your rights? Just look how far they are willing to go on this fake pandemic. People are being jailed for boating, going to church, walking on a hiking trail, and playing softball with their kids in the park.
Do you want the government to have that kind of power PERMANENTLY? Because that is EXACTLY what will happen when they manage to disarm Americans.
Then why was he out and about? Anyone who can’t be trusted to be armed should not be running around loose!
At. 3:35 AM, CDT this morning (Sunday),there was a mass shooting of 5 teenagers in the North Lawndale section of Chicago.
Mayor Groot and the DA, Crimesha,, don’t care. Zip, nada, none for news coverage.
Gun control is not about safety or reducing crime. It is purely political and designed to turn citizens into subjects.
This is the comment I posted elsewhere about this despicable action by Trudeau and Blair...
Hoping to capitalize on a devastating tragedy, during a global pandemic, and with parliament shut down, irresponsible ideologues Trudeau and Blair have decided in true dictatorial fashion to skirt the democratic process and impose regulations to confiscate the legally-acquired property of Canada’s single most law-abiding segment of the populace.
Canadian gun owners don’t use these guns to commit crimes. Except in very rare cases, even the violent criminals don’t use these guns to commit crimes.
The losses to Canadian gun owners will be in the multi-millions. The effect on sport shooting (the single fastest growing sport in Canada currently) will be chilling. The harm to sporting businesses and gun stores will be devastating. The damage to the economy will be immense.
And the insult to civil rights and freedoms will be egregious.
And this ban will do absolutely nothing to reduce crime or prevent a similar tragedy. There is no credible research or evidence to support this draconian policy whatsoever.
They don’t care about that. They lie to you about that, repeatedly. They don’t go after the real criminals.
So, you have to ask yourself, what is their REAL reason for wanting to ban over 1500 different firearms and trample the basic civil liberties of a free and democratic populace?
(Yes, it’s a rhetorical question.)
