Semiautomatic rifles went out of the military when the M1 Garande was retired.

The news of the epic rise in Canadian mass murders with Military style rifles was overshadowed by the crisis of massive flooding of Canadian cities and melting of people’s faces by the sudden onslaught of global warming

Barak Obama perfected the art of the manufactured crisis

Justin is building on that foundation to perfect the art of fictional crisis

“We know you do not need a military-grade assault weapon . . . "

Last year, more people were murdered with clubs. About 450 people were murdered. I suppose we will have to eliminate golf clubs and baseball bats. Justin Trudeau will cry a river when we come to take his golf clubs away and his Montreal Expos get sent kicking horse puckies.

If I'm not mistaken, M1 Carbines were still used by the IDF and FFL through the 1960s and in to the 70s.

Those may have been selector enhanced M2 carbines with full auto capability.

Anyway, Justina seeks distraction from his current PC crisis, and will anger the rest of gun owning Canada to do so.

Anything to please his little world of far left Toronto.

In some cases perhaps M2s, but mostly M1s (semi only). In fact, ROK soldiers fighting in VN carried M1s, and the CMP has been trying to get them back to be put on the American market.

In Canada, fully automatics have been legally prohibited (via grandfathering) since January 1 1978. You would have already had to have registered such a firearm by that date with the appropriate restricted weapons permit(s).

Another thing to note is that states like Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Montana, and Idaho have very little or no firearms controls (constitutional carry among other things) and also have homicide rates that are about the same as the neighbouring Canadian province(s).

“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.”

Justin channels Andrew Cuomo.

The Australians, British and Canadians were using semiautomatic rifles as standard issue (the L1A1/C1A1 version of the FAL) into the 1980s.

That said, those are on the “Prohibited” list already under Canadian law. If you had an appropriate permit before the law, you can keep your rifle (or buy and sell them among fellow permiteers) but you can’t really do anything with it, even shoot it at a range.

The idiots don’t realize that there is not a country in the world that uses the AR15 in their military?

I know he is talking about Canada, eh, and they have different rules but down here in the USA the Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting........or the NEED for a gun.

What about your Second Amendment? Oh wait - forgot - that is the American Constitution.

Lol that must have been why I missed the gun violence news. I was underwater and my face had melted.

He also wants a buyback so the government can pay owners when they hand their rifles over.

I love these marxist ideas.
I buy an asset for $500.
The Government taxes me $600, so that they can give me $500 when they steal my asset
