It’ll be very interesting to see where this goes in the future.
@Collin Fraser well you were wrong Colin
I’m interested to see if other countries will follow suit.
@Collin Fraser you muppet the buyback hasn’t even gone through. You don’t even know what’s going on and you’re trying to have an opinion.
Get lost.
why not make murder illegal???
that will solve everything!!
@Walter Boudreau lol captain obvious
@Viktor M you wish it was artificial.
bro you are a genius.
wish they would take a new route and leave the political offices. How s this going to stop illegal handguns???
Well smuggling is now going to be really illegal. So smuggling will now stop because Justin said so.
Responsible gun owners have to take a course and get certified to own a gun. Criminals just buy there weapon that has been smuggled over the border. I would like to see the NDP/Liberals legislate them.
@Alternity156 congratulations for not reading what’s being talking about… 🤦
@Anthony B. No he did not
@Anthony B.
That is NOT true at all. NS shooter was NOT legal gun owner. Please check the news & facts
100 % AGREED
@Anthony B. nope he didn’t and wasn’t allowed to possess firearms
This will do absolutely nothing to deter crime. those in favour of this ban are fools.
wrong.
To the contrary, evidence from Canada and other comparable countries shows a direct correlation between stricter guns laws and fewer crimes using guns.
Agreed. What happens when something is illegal? Organized crime just got a huge pay day.
@Chris Coyle But they are still committing a crime.
The cops just got more to fight them.
Guess ill just have to buy from smugglers then like every other criminal does
I just ordered 2 new Glocks online. Lets beat that deadline lol. Trudeau and his liberal clowns are the best gun salesmen Canada has ever seen.
@Lucky Johnson They will get confiscated
@Optic BigEvil do you know why guns were made as a right for Americans and Canadians?
@bsstyle123 Not so much in Canada. You can get prison time for shooting a home invaider.
@bsstyle123 yeah I know but do you truly feel like you need one right now?? Or is this your way of sticking it to the liberals
@maxinspace1 In Fall only
Logic would suggest that you crack down on the gangs that are responsible for 99% of gun violence
Gangs dont challenege the gov ideology theyre safe
@Paulo Bainz From what I’m reading police don’t routienly trace guns used in crimes.
@Philip Tai what
Why would Trudeau crack down on his own voter base?
Canadians are struggling to pay rent/mortgages, bills, food, gas, and THIS is priority legislation? What an embarrassment.
@T-rev 29 no. What does that have to do with anything?
@Simqer. I hope you live in America, otherwise, this argument doesn’t make sense.
Guns are already highly restricted in Canada.
@Simqer if you think banning a legal gun will protect anyone you are mistaken 1.6 million self defence situation with a firearm in one year compared to 19 thousand homicides. I had a police officer in school and I felt great. Sounds like you don’t want the kids to be safe
@Wayne Daub we already have one. And a government to match.
Governments do more than one thing at once.
Jesus, grow up.
This dude is a wholesale liar.
@CStanton I found the ignoramus! Look at you trying to belittle someone you don’t even know lol
haha on point
@CStanton coming from a guy who believes in Trudeau…
If he so wholesale, why we paying more for gas than retail? Dude is marked so far up, we can’t really even call him a loss-leader anymore.
“We’re capping the market for handguns,” No Trudeau, you just gave the illegal handgun market the incentive of a lifetime.
@_MastaFiDizasta it’s easier to find a gun in Toronto than a brain in Ottawa.
Yep, prices will go through the roof and smuggling will be like 10000% more.
Totally true. The illegal firearm dealers will be laughing all the way to the bank.
@carvealegoff well put ☝
Gangsters are not gonna give up their handguns. And they don’t need a license, since they’re criminals.
they are actually stronger when a citizenry becomes disarmed
@Nucky Gulliver EXACTLY!
Oh finally, it was about time he made illegal firearms prohibited. I now feel totally safe. If only now we could make drugs and crimes illegal too I’m sure all will be peachy.
@Dawson Holdsworth I am perplexed by your logic, or lack of it.
You think criminal wont be able to get those firearms ? Lmao!!
Making crime illegal?!? hahaha you totally make sense bro!!
Fool’s, the criminals will all be laughing while putting money in the bank. You absolutely believe assault rifles and hand guns will disappear? WOW, just WOW!
@December GEM right? Talk about naive
Much easier to punish law-abiding sport shooters than tackle organized crime in racialized communities.
Virtue signallers gonna virtue.
@Barry Steven Young What would you define as a better hobby? Since when are hobbies ranked?
@Barry Steven Young they even wanted to remove some air soft guns dude. Enjoy your hobbys and ill enjoy mine.
@Barry Steven Young air gun ban is in this bill
For the longest time, I thought that to “table” something meant to bring it forward or have it proposed in a meeting. Recently however I learned that to table something actually means to suspend it indefinitely.
They may also mean something to snort
You’re still confused
Apologize to those who said he would come after our guns.
@Papillon Dogs How so? The criminals will still have and be able to obtain hand guns.
@Papillon Dogs no its not crime with guns isn’t happening with legal owned guns
@Papillon Dogs i don’t think you’re thinking things through
@Papillon Dogs
why is that? How is legally gun owned is a problem in Canada? Please DO educate yourself!
also thousands of guns/firearms are stolen every year from police vehicles & stations; so the crimes committed by ILLEGALLY GUN OWNED will continue to be a problem.
ANY informed Canadian should be worried & in disbelief. Here’s why:
1. How exactly are legally owned gun a problem in/for Canada?
2. thousands of firearms are stolen yearly from police vehicles & stations. THAT IS a big part of the problem.
3. Canada ALREADY has the most strict & toughest gun laws.
4. Crimes are committed by ILLEGALLY obtained guns. How will banning LEGALLY owned guns solve the problem?
5. Legal gun owners do NOT walk around with guns. Canadian law does NOT permit ‘carrying permit’.
6. Economy will be negatively affected; legal gun ownership is economy booster in Canada, leave alone “buy back!!!!” Woooo
Hilarious but expected that it’s beyond Trudeau’s mental capacity to grasp that this will do absolutely nothing to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
Same old American reasoning.
Unlimited guns.
Proven fail
@DanSk451 actually not proven to fail. Canadians don’t have any issues with legally owned firearms. Only illegally smuggled guns are an issue and Trudeau doesn’t punish those criminals. So …
There has only been 2 murders committed with legally owned guns in canada in 22 years. Every other murder was committed with an illegally possessed firearm. More words on a piece of paper will do nothing
@Harry Stamper I don’t doubt it, but what’s your source?
I kind of doubt that, there were two shootings just here in New Brunswick in the past two years. Of course they weren’t handguns, so maybe thats what you mean. Domestic violence has always been high and yet gets no attention. Poverty is the reasone behind organized crime and most of the issues with police. And yet nothing is done to deal with poverty.
@R M more
@Mike Archibald were the guns lawfully possessed? This factor is kind of critical to refuting his argument
So we not gonna talk about how this bill bans “replica firearms” as well? Or are we just gonna hide that bit?
Never one to miss making a news story in an entirely different country, to be all about himself.
