Canada banning handguns is the canary in the coal mine for America, so pay attention.
For years I have argued that there is no such thing as common sense gun measures and that every time you hear that phrase from a politician, it means they want to ban all guns.
Take, for instance, Joe Biden.
Joe Biden recently said he's going to get a so-called "Assault Weapon Ban" Passed, and so many people are like, "Oh, well, that's not too bad; who needs AR15s anyway? All you need is a handgun anyway".
Fools, it's not just going to stop with AR15s; there's always going to be more, and CANADA proved it.
First, they started with the so-called Assault Weapons in 2020.
Then two years later, they are now banning handguns.
In a statement on the ban/freeze on handguns, Justin Trudeau noted, among other things:
"Fewer guns mean safer communities. That's why the Government of Canada is implementing some of the strongest gun control measures in a generation. Handguns are the weapon of choice in most firearm-related crimes, which is why limiting the number of handguns is a critical part of our plan to protect Canadians from gun violence."
I'm sure there are people now saying, "Oh, well, that's Canada, that could never happen here."
Are you coherent?
We just had an assault weapon ban in America that lasted from 1994 -2004. That was only 18 years ago, and the only reason we don't still have one now is that the republicans got lucky and were able to put a sunset clause in the bill that would require the law to expire after ten years if they could show the ban didn't work.
Do you think the Democratic politicians will make the same mistake again in their new assault weapon bill that they're trying to pass?
There is no sunset provision in the new assault weapon bill; they even made it more restrictive than the last one.
I was in Washington DC, in the bar at the base of the hotel, and got to talking to a guy from Canada, there on a business trip. And he said one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard:
"I have 20 guns. But I don't believe in handguns."
Maybe he prefers rifles. I don’t think he was condemning handguns or wanting to ban them.
Certainly safer for the criminals, anyway. Imagine the convenience of being able to burgle homes with no worries of getting shot by an angry homeowner.
Canada does not have a Second Amendment. Our Founding Fathers were very, very wise.
He can do that?
...."When all handguns are outlawed, only outlaws will have handguns".
Canadians need to shitecan that communist POS....
No, it was pretty clear that he believed nobody should be ‘allowed’ to have handguns.
Well, if you outlaw handguns, only the criminals will be allowed to have handguns, obviously. Truedolt is such a moron. What were the Canadians thinking when they elected him, that’s what I’d like to know.
Of course now, everyone's switched to 'gun safety'.
“..All you need is a handgun anyway”.
Back in 1968 when Bobby Kennedy was murdered by a Palestinian Immigrant the democrats began to say we did not need handguns.
I have a long memory.
Starting in 1962 with the demand of Dems Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America screams and pokes holes in the air with her finger...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1984, They came for the rifles.
Gun owners know they are always up against a stacked deck.
Let the black market stampede begin!
It’s Nazi Canuckistan populated by Globalist Nazis, what do you expect?
In the 1920s, Canada was nice enough to ship us illegal whisky. Now we need to reciprocate and ship them illegal guns.
Screw that idiot. He can’t connect the dots.
So, Canada is a dictatorship.
That’ll make him even more popular than his fascistic vaccine mandates!
