Justin Trudeau Pledges Ban on ‘Military-Grade’ Semiautomatic Rifles

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged a ban on “military-grade” semiautomatic rifles in an attempt to redirect his campaign after his blackface controversy. City News reports that Trudeau announced the rifle ban on Friday in Greektown, Toronto, the area of the city in which a gunman shot 15 people, killing two, last year.

Trudeau said, “We know you do not need a military-grade assault weapon – one designed to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time – to take down a deer.”

His ban includes a two-year amnesty for current owners of the rifles. He also wants a buyback so the government can pay owners when they hand their rifles over.

CBC quoted Trudeau saying, “People are dying. Families are grieving. Communities are suffering. So we’re going to do more and we’re going to do better. Thoughts and prayers are just not going to cut it. The choice could not be clearer: Liberals are for tougher gun laws, Conservatives are for weaker gun laws.

Trudeau announced the rifle ban on Friday in Greektown, Toronto, the area of the city in which a gunman shot 15 people, killing two, last year.

A killing in which the shooter used a Smith & Wesson handgun, not a rifle.

Faisal Hussain broke the law when he illegally obtained his handgun. He broke the law when he took it out to the Danforth (you are not allowed to carry in Canada). And obviously he broke the law when he used it to shoot and kill people. Junior seems to think there a magic threshold where if he had to break one more law, Hussain would have stayed home.

Overall, homicides committed with handguns are about triple those committed with long guns. I don’t know if StatsCan breaks those numbers down further for, say, shotguns, bolt-action rifles and semi-automatic rifles. Obviously that last category specifically would be smaller still.

Criminals do not bother with background checks. That is solely reserved for law abiding citizens.
All these laws do is prevent people from being able to protect themselves.

Gee...

Does anyone else besides me think that commie f***tards all over the “free world” are maybe, oh, I dunno, COORDINATING this “military-grade/semiautomatic/weapons of war/These Guns Don’t belong on our streets” bullshit??? Australia, New Zealand, and they’re trying it here too.

I mean, it COULDN’T just be COINCIDENCE now, could it???

Bulwyf... comin’ your way, my brother...

There comes a moment when you have to say not just no, but “HELL NO” - and be ready to back it up.

For the record... the Cops are not the enemy. It’s the people who give the order. Think about it.

Jus’ sayin, allkindasortahypothetical-likeandsh*t...

I flew choppers in Vietnam. Pilots carried all kinds of captured stuff in the cockpit: AK’s (folding), M1 Thompson, Swedish K, CAR-15’s, M1A1 carbines, even PPSh’s & Type 50’s.

Saw a pistol made out of an M1 carbine. Also a pistol made out of an M79 grenade launcher.

I saw M1 carbines mainly with PRU’s (Provincial Recon Unit, aka Headhunters). Had an M2 briefly, finally found an AK downfolder. Wanted to smuggle that back so bad.

Decision time is coming soon.

I’m not holding my breath that Trudeau will lose. We have to plan for the worst.

That so-called “controversy” has barely even *DENTED* the popularity of The Chosen One® amongst his core of support (namely Millennials and Baby Boomer women). 338canada.com has his chances of election down by only a couple of percentage points. He’s still at 68.1% chance of winning a majority.

If anything, it appears to be hurting Andrew Scheer instead, as there have been a good number of MSM soundbites about how this whole thing has been ‘dirty tricks’ orchestrated by the Conservative Party, to smear “Dreamy” Justin.

We don’t buy them to take down deer, Justin.

Sleep well.

If True-dope wins, Trump is "going to need a bigger boat wall." That wall will have to be on the NORTHERN border, to keep all the CANADIAN refugees out!

And because these uber-liberal politicians keep after their liberal agendas, this is for the thread:

Careful, you're gonna wind up with one of these. Like mine. You think you hate it now; wait until you drive it! We're working on getting jackets. And t-shirts.

If Trudeau wins, it’ll be decision time. Either the west separates, or one goes to the US. The problem is both sides of the border are under attack by the same globalists.
