  1. Because this is really what the Canadian people are concerned about these days.

  3. The shootings in Toronto and Vancouver will def stop now.

  4. Why do I get the feeling the enforcement will be shoddy at best?

  6. Those legal gun owners are sure a danger…oh right. It’s illegal guns coming in from the US. THIS GUYS A FUCKING MORON.

  7. So criminals that shit on law wil not be using them, right? Right?

  8. A solution in need of a problem. It’s just another program that accomplishes very little but will “somehow” in the end wind up costing hundreds of millions (if not billions) to even *try* to implement. They’re already spent $67.2 million with nothing to show for it. I’m sure some consultant is happy though.

  9. Where’s the actual article? This is like… a paragraph, it tells people nothing.

  10. I’m not a gun owner but I do have friends who hunt and I support their rights to arms. This virtue signalling attacks legal gun owners and does nothing to attack the actual threat – illegal weapons. Not many shootings being committed with legally registered firearms.

  11. And all gonna be reversed in 10 months. Pointless exercise from a dying government 

  12. And depending on your skin colour you still get to keep and use them. Welcome to progressive shithole Canada   

    Edit: love that I’m being downvoted. If you’re indigenous you’re exempt from the ban. How is that not a racist policy? 

  13. Why is this a good thing to some people? This guy and his government froze the bank accounts of people who protested his policies before. Now he is banning the ability to resist. If Canada weren’t “the good guys” to us the media would be spinning this as a descent into dictatorship narrative (and Trudeau sure has been in power for a *long fucking time*)

  14. When asked whether his government planned on doing anything to reverse the decade of stagnant economic growth, Trudeau responded by saying the economy is a “conspiracy theory” popularized by “MAGA republicans”

  15. This isn’t buying any votes. They liberals are truly delusional if they think that this is what Canadians are concerned about 

  16. Are shootings a concern in parts of Canada currently? I wasn’t aware of that being an issue compared to the extreme excess in the states.

  17. Hmm. Discussions of gun control and abortion. The Liberals are trying to distract from something big. I wonder what it can be.

  18. Might I suggest handing them out instead of a ban. We’ve got some crazy shit brewing down here y’all might need these.

  19. I’m sure this will prevent all the law abiding Canadians from using all their scary, legally owned firearms to massacre each other en masse like they are famous for doing. Way to go Prime Minister, you saved Canada once again from a fictional problem! Hooray!

  20. Leftists do what leftists do. Get those guns. But hey…how you doing on things like the housing crisis? Not as important I guess.

  21. A complete waste of time distraction. The Liberal party is using law abiding canadian gun owners, one of the safest populations in the country as a scapegoat for their incompetence with violent crime. They didn’t even announce a new ban list, how are we supposed to comply if we don’t know what’s banned??

  24. wtf is assault-style?? if it just looks a certain way?

  26. Harsher gun laws isn’t stopping people with bad intentions from getting guns, trust me they CAN get a gun if they want it bad enough lmao, why limit legal citizens?

  27. Ughhh of course. They state these new bans cover 200 guns that are now illegal to use, possess, import etc. But they haven’t released the list 🤣. Damn Trudeau, but damn Pierre Poilievre for being the alternative….

  28. Oh fuck off for fuck sakes. This guy doesn’t give a shit about anything but himself.

  29. Reminder that “assault-style” is a completely made up term that means literally nothing

  30. Whats an assault-style weapon?

    If I spraypaint it black, does it become one? What if I attach a bunch of call of duty shit to it, does that make it assualty?

    Maybe a flashlight? Super assaulty.

    Can anyone tell me what makes it an assault weapon without using a standalone subjective per-item analysis?

  31. I think he done that’s what I heard when I was in Canada. He won’t be re-elected lol

  33. Can’t own guns, can’t defend yourself or your family, can’t afford to live, can’t talk freely, literally every aspect of life in Canada is destroyed

  34. This guy just making stupidest moves, hoping that there is enough idiots who believe that crime is committed with register weapons.

  35. Way to turn a law abiding citizens into criminals overnight.

    I don’t want to live in a world where the only people who are armed are the criminals and the police.
