Trudeau Announces Legislation That Would Put a "National Freeze" on Handgun Ownership
Red State ^ | May 30, 2022 6:30 PM ET | By Cameron Arcand

Posted on 06/01/2022 3:57:02 AM PDT by Candor7

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced legislation on Monday to essentially scrap the handgun market in the country.

“We’re introducing legislation to implement a national freeze on handgun ownership. What this means is it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns anywhere in Canada.”

“In other words, we’re capping the market for handguns.”

“Other than using firearms for sport shooting and hunting, there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives,” Trudeau added, according to Reuters.

In the same speech, he announced that law enforcement would begin cracking down on gun smuggling efforts. According to the CBC, long gun magazines will also no longer be allowed to carry more than five rounds, which means sellers legally cannot sell rounds larger than that. The outlet points out that this is not a full ban on handguns, but it’s pretty close to one.

“This is Trudeau’s authoritarian push to limit the people’s power ..Just look at what happened in Ukraine, what might happen in Taiwan w/ China – I can go on but you get the picture… What happened in #Uvalde should have never happened but don’t use it as an excuse to seize power,” Fox News contributor Sara Carter said about the legislation.

CBC noted that Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino brought the bill forth to the House of Commons, and he announced that the Canadian government would also begin enforcing their mandatory buyback program for “assault-style” weapons that were made illegal two years ago.

Oh really? Is Trudeau saying there are no dangerous criminals in Canada?

In one generation, guns would be gone (except for those who had them pesky unregistered ones) if they couldn’t be transferred ...

Yes. I’ve been watching NHL playoffs. At least Canadian hockey fans celebrate their national anthem. Trudeau and Davos think it’s an impediment to their lust for power.

For a very large number of Canadian Loonies, I can arrange a terrible boating accident where I lost several handguns in the channel between Drummond Island and Cockburn Island in Lake Huron. The exact GPS coordinates of this accident will be provided upon receipt of the full payment from a concerned Canadian citizen. JK

he is already oin the case....he cancelled the Trans Mountain Pipe;line for Alberta top BC and he cancelled the pipeline from Ontario to the MAritime provices, thereby preventing Canada from having its own oil/gas distrubution system for Alberta oil and gas, whcihi has enough to fuel ALL of Canada.Canada must continue to kiss ass ( Trueau likes that) of tyrants to supply all of Canada with oil and gas, for the future punishing of those who do not buy electric vehicles.

Trudeau is a bad dude....real bad.

Reminds me of Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines back around 1970.
He called for the registration of handguns. the American Press said WE needed to do the same.

Then Marcos confiscated those registered guns. The American Press said we needed to do the same.

Then Marcos seized power become a dictator. The American Press weeped and wailed that he would do such a thing!

How do average Canadians feel about banning side arms? Ok with it? Will people decide to ignore the ban?

I have spoken with two Canadian expats, and they said that they just ignored the registration, kept their rifles and don’t talk about it.

Trudeau is by executive fiat banning the sale of handguns, transfer of ownership of handguns and the gifting of handguns. Any transfer is banned. The amount of ammo one can possess will be limited. A year ago Trudeau banned the use and sale of a list of 170 rifles including the AR-15, AK-47, Ruger mini 14, and the Ljungman AG-42 Swedish WWII rifle among others.

And they are asking for a budget for a mandatory buy back of those rifles, they SET the price.Thats the plan.

The retail firearms industry in Canada is being ruined.

The effect of this will be devastating.(sarc.)

People will still be buying hand guns. They will be purchased in the USA and smuggled across the border into Canada. Nothing short of building a border wall would stop such traffic in hand guns. All Trudeau is doing is creating an illegal arms trade between Canada and the USA.That illegal trade will include ammo. Lots of it. And there will be large illegal traffic of arms from China into Canada as well. CHina sends drugs and they will also send guns to the gangs that sell China,s drugs.

All this because Trudeau wants to disarm law abiding citizens.

Brandon was on TV gimping a proposed ban on assault rifles and “high capacity” magazines. Yet he and his colleagues are surrounded 24/7 by security staff carrying fully automatic weapons.And will he harden schools to make them less vulnerable....NOT A WORD ABOUT THAT. Yet he contiues to enjoy the deterrance and safety brought about by his own body guards, a safety and security he denies to school children.

Yes it is coming to our USA now....the Great Socialist Reset is an internation al movemnet prosecuted by Trudeau, Biden and others.

No mention of the hundreds of the thouosands of Chicago murders committted by gangs in the last 5 years.But noiw Geriatric Joe sees an opportunity with the texas school shootings committed by an evil , posessed person , a person who is actually now running the whole Demoncrap show.And it has effected Canada.
