Canada bans sale/transfer of handguns

[traildust]

An all out ban is coming for our friends to the north. Give it 5 or so years and a few more incidents.

I bet it happens within a year. Once these folks get power, there is no stopping them. Can't say we didn't try to warn them......

Kind of funny who the left in particular and even some on this very site have always stated "nobody is coming after your guns....just '"Assault Weapons"'

Then boom damn 9mm is considered a "high caliber" weapon with, as the old Sh!t box in the White House says...has no purpose for hunting or self defense...So apparently 9mm is not needed for self defense.

I don't get the Canadian flag thing......

"Assault"-style weapons were not designed to kill as many people in as short amount of time as possible.

Trudeau is a fool.

They were designed to lay down overwhelming superior fire so an adjacent unit could maneuver and destroy an objective by fire and maneuver aka an assault. The us and nato allies changed their tactics during the interwar period between 1945-1950.

"why do you need a bullet larger than .22 caliber and a 14x scope to kill a deer? Just use a bow.....or a double barrel shotgun."

 

[NDGuy]

".or a double barrel shotgun."

And make sure to fire two blasts first to scare them off

I guess this guy was denied a handgun permit in Norway...

Shocking images emerge of suspect in deadly bow-and-arrow rampage in Norway

The footage emerged this week after Andersen Bråthen pleaded guilty to a slew of charges in the October 2021 attack, including five counts of murder as well as 11 others of attempted murder.

You sir have shown more knowledge of firearms and history than our POTUS.... Which is both scary and disappointing.

Let us know your name so we can write you in for POTUS 2024! LOL

I'm not a handgun guy personally, but I'm still really bothered by this as a Canadian. Its the gradual erosion of privilege that we once enjoyed, caused by crimes and issues that are not directly related, and in most cases are in another country entirely. Its clear this legislation had been drafted and was sitting in the hopper for an opportune tragedy, much like the last round of restrictions that came out days after the NS shooting (which was carried out with an illegally owned AR-15 smuggled in from the US). For clarity, this is first reading of a bill, so there is still a chance it could be altered or may not even pass. With the current minority government its not a sure thing, but seems highly likely given current political climate. Its one of those things that doesn't seem like it will impact me directly (other than how they implement details of magazine limits - I love my old lever guns), but who knows what the next step is. Its clearly being pushed by folks that have a fundamental misunderstanding of firearms and their safe and reasonable use.

Justin is just doing what he’s told to do, he’s part of the globalist takeover. This is bad news for everyone, this just means we will likely see more gun incidents to push public opinion over the proverbial edge in the US. Justin doesn’t give a crap about public opinion he’s is acting as a dictator, Canadian‘s rights are what their government says they are.
This is where the US constitution (use to) differ from every other country, our rights were God given, meaning tyrants like Trudeau/biden/bush/obama aren’t suppose to be able to pretend they’re king order by decree.
Our first Amendment is gone and they obviously have the 2nd in their crosshairs.
None of this is on accident or by coincident, its all being planned, the WEF told the world straight up where they were taking us, these are the details they have to work out to get us there.

And nobody on the dem side ever talks about what has changed to make this happen. If the problem is a particular gun then any other tool used by humans that causes death is the problem too. It's much more complicated. But that doesn't get them any votes.

Maybe if the gun grabbing really starts here Backcountry Hunters and Anglers will step up and bring their hordes of…eh, never mind.

And that is the fundamental difference between Canada and the US.

Privilege to be taken away vs right not to be infringed upon.

In the US, driving a car is a privilege, and it can be taken away (by your own action or inaction)....but the agility to bear arms is no privilege in the US.

And that is why the US will never be a puppet state for the powers that be. We have power in the people, and the govt knows it. The govt may try to step on the people every once in a while, but the power of the people is a real and living thing, and it will come up and bite the politicians if they try to step on the people too much or too long.

The tread is wearing thin on the govt shoe, and the people are getting very weary of the idiotic power players within the govt. Time is short, stay alert.

Well, that doesn't describe a semi-auto rifle..that description matches fully automatic rifles for area suppression.

Were you in the Army?

 

[WKR]

This move by Trudeau was purely autocratic. The Canadian people don't have a 2nd amendment to protect them from these types of power plays.

That wouldn't happen here in the states, but they could restrict/regulate firearms and ammo to death, only effecting law abiding citizens. Case in point CA,NY, or WA.

Marine corps and we didn't have full auto- we had 3 rd burst that we never used. If you think you can't suppress with semi auto fire you're out of your depth.
The first assault rifles- m14, Fal et el were 7.62x51 and while they had full auto capabilities it was utterly useless.

A single semi-auto rifle won't suppress with much effect.

However, a platoon of semi-autos could.

Or perhaps a M249...or M240.

But since we are talking individual civilian rights here, there really isn't much suppressing fires.

You are purposely conflating a military capability with something that doesn't exist in a single AR-15

Obviously you've never been shot at. A single shooter firing semi auto can easily suppress with devastating effect. Likewise a single shooter with a semi auto rifle can easily assault an objective
No conflating facts as I have no dog in this Canadian fight but the term assault rifle is not some inaccurate term dreamt up by liberals it's an accurate term

Ground FAC here...I have been shot at.

What you describe above doesn't jive with a single semi-auto rifle.

Edit:
Traditionally, the definition of Assault Rifle applies to automatic or select fire weapons. The term that really has no definition for is "assault weapon" (well, except the gun control lobby/propagandists). But if you feel I am in error, I invite you to link to an official definition.

assault rifle, military firearm that is chambered for ammunition of reduced size or propellant charge and that has the capacity to switch between semiautomatic and fully automatic fire.
