Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, embroiled in a blackface picture scandal, on Friday pledged to ban military-style assault rifles in the countrys most ethnically diverse city in a bid to get his campaign back on issue.
Trudeau is campaigning in Toronto with less than five weeks to go before the Oct. 21 national election and two days after bombshell images of him in blackface emerged.

I’m guessing that our little Justin has a collection of assault rifles, in keeping with the current theme.

He is showing he is not racist—by taking guns from white people.
Black thugs get to keep _their_ guns—reparations ya know...

All semi-automatic rifles firing centre-fire ammo are classified as “Restricted” in Canada. That means they cannot be used for hunting only at ranges. Mag capacity is set to 5 for such guns.

Justin Soyboy is in deep kimchee since those blackface photos emerged.
But he’ll alienate all of Canada outside of `diverse’ Toronto and Ottawa by pushing an AWB. Desperation.

Is there a rifle ban in Sault Ste Marie that he thinks is worthy of imitation?
I’m sure Canada on the whole would be better off if people behaves as Sault residents do, but do they actually have a rifle ban?
(For those of you unfamiliar with “Northern” Ontario/Upper Peninsula geography, Sault Ste Marie, often known as the Sault, is the western most point where one can cross by car from Ontario into Michigan)

I thought guns were already heavily regulated in Canada.

Yet, some idiot FReepers jump in to defend Trudeau.

There are no assault weapons sold to civilians. There are assault “style” weapons that look like assault weapons.

That's true but I find it fascinating that the WW2 era
Tokarev SVT 40 is not considered an assault weapon and is widely available in Canada at low prices. Meanwhile they are almost unobtainable in the US because William Jefferson Clinton made the Russians agree not to export to here. They cannot even be imported from Canada. Now if I was going to a rifle fight I would consider the SVT-40 preferable to an AR or an AK and almost on a par with a M1A/M14.

Who knew that our friends to the north still had military-style assault rifles???

But hell alienate all of Canada outside of `diverse Toronto and Ottawa by pushing an AWB. Desperation. He is certainly flailing. We might get to see a full meltdown, complete with eyebrow failures.

We’ll know Justina is tripping the light Titanic when he wears a different ethnic costume daily, so as to to make him the mother of all cultural appropriationists.
