PM Trudeau begins the process of disarming Canadians
American Thinker ^ | 2 May, 2020 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 05/02/2020 7:10:55 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Over 13 deadly hours on April 18 and 19, Gabriel Wortman disguised himself as a Canadian Mountie and went to sixteen different locations in and around Portapique, Canada, where he killed 22 people and injured three others. For the killings, Wortman used a handgun and long guns, all of which he obtained illegally.

On Friday, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau punished all Canadians for Wortman's act by reclassifying about 1,500 hitherto legal firearms as "prohibited." By using reclassification, Trudeau was able to circumvent legislation.

According to the CBC, the ban is effective immediately and blocks all licensed gun-owners from selling, transporting, importing, or using their newly banned weapons. There will be a two-year amnesty for unloading the guns through a "fair compensation" buy-back program (AKA a confiscation program).

Trudeau is banning any semi-automatic that can hold a magazine, which would seem to include shotguns, for the CBC says that "there are 105,000 firearms currently classified as 'restricted' that will now be classified as 'prohibited.'" The CBC includes a list of those guns that are primarily targeted:

M16, AR-10, AR-15 rifles and M4 carbine

Ruger Mini-14 rifle

US Rifle M14

Vz58 rifle and CZ858 rifle

Robinson Armament XCR rifle

CZ Scorpion EVO 3 carbine and pistol

Beretta Cx4 Storm carbine

SIG Sauer SIG MCX and SIG Sauer SIG MPX carbines and pistols

Swiss Arms Classic Green and Four Seasons series rifles

Trudeau isn't stopping with long guns, either. He wants to get rid of handguns, too. Bill Blair, the Canadian public safety minister, "promised Friday to enact legislation down the line to give municipalities the power to ban these firearms [handguns]."

Will Canadians comply. . ? Probably.>>>>>>>>>>>>

Nope.

They did not comply with the attempted “long gun registry” 15 years ago or so. And they will not comply with this.

Canada’s jurisprudence also has well settled law against retroactive legislation in relation to both real and personal property.So the right of legal ownership of now prohibited firearms cannot be accomplished without the consent of the present owners. Current and future acquisitions can be affected by the ban, but no Canadian government will long survive its evolution towards a totalitarian state control of firearms that have no causal connection to public safety in the hands of law abiding citizens.

Additionally, what happened in new Zealand will also likely happen in Canada. The Liberals in Canada just do not have enough popular support to pull of a legislative move towards being a totalitarian state.

Rural Canada has ignored gun bans forever. In rural areas, people have hunted with cheap old military rifles for years. The standard is the SKS, but many people buy modern $$$$ rifles too; regular tradition; especially with the Indians.

here in Alaska, outside anch & Fairbanks people hunt with military 308s too. Actually, I like my 6.8 stag with 4-32 acog more than my 308s; killed more than a few moose, bou, and blk bear with that gun. The ole Indians believe any 30-30 is better choice anyway; spiritual. Why they are held in high regard for potlatch gifts.

I thought Canadians were already disarmed.

I guess you learn something new every day.

Freedom in North America would be well-served if the rural Canadian provinces would join the States.

Even the Kiwis had to change their tune after the initial political ballyhoo died down and they tried to actually implement their program.

Not quite right. It should say “Disarming non-violent, law-abiding Canadians.” Trudeau has no intention of taking guns from violent criminals.

Years ago in Washington DC, I had a conversation with a guy from Canada. He said something that to this day I can't comprehend:

"I have 20 guns. But I don't believe in handguns."

“Canadians are wimps.”

Ever played hockey against them or heard of the Dieppe Raid? Of course that begs the question of why today they elect such outrageous filth. We’ve got the same problem too.

And watch those hosers lay down and take it. Just like the Australians. They are all part of the British empire and good little socialists.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
