Trudeau plans draconian gun laws after massacre

[Anonymous]

Trudeau said his government is looking at moving ahead with stricter gun control measures as Parliament returns for some regular sittings during the pandemic.



"This is very much an ongoing investigation that is in its early stages in Nova Scotia right now. So I don't want to jump to conclusions," he said.



"I can say we were on the verge of introducing legislation to ban assault-style weapons across the country. It was interrupted when the pandemic caused Parliament to be suspended. We have every intention of moving forward on that measure, and potentially other measures, when Parliament returns."



Later in the House of Commons, MPs in an an almost-empty Commons chamber stood for a minute of silence after question period to remember the victims of the shooting.



Trudeau said that Canadians are having trouble coming to grips with the fact that this happened in a rural community, where neighbours rely on one another and rarely even lock their doors.



"Everyone knows each other, everyone is in shock," he said. "This horrific tragedy happened at a time when Canadians from coast to coast to coast were making sacrifices to keep each other safe. At a time where they're making the right choices every single day to prevent more heartbreak and more tragedy.



"When we awoke yesterday to horrific reports coming out of Nova Scotia, many of us probably asked ourselves, "Just how much more can we take?"



The Liberals committed during the fall election campaign to outlawing military-style assault rifles, including the semi-automatic AR-15, and said they planned to empower provinces and cities to take steps to manage the storage and use of handguns within their own jurisdictions.



Before the pandemic struck, Public Safety Minister Bill Blair had been developing a list of prohibited weapons that will include specific makes, models and descriptions.



It's not clear yet what kind of weapon Wortman was using.



"I am very much open to moving forward with our gun control legislation. I think there is always going to be questions of when is the right moment to do that,"

Don't panic yet, mate. Sounds like military-style assault rifles



Depends only on how they define "military-style assault rifles" and the specific models

Trudy was already planning to change the gun laws.  And then China virus hit, so that was put on hold...

Here in Virginia, the fuckhead guvner was doing the same. Thousands protested at the capital. The Kung Flu hit, and he didnt postpone, he pushed it all forward, and wants to do more. As well as other laws he has pushed in the past week.



The Red Flag Law is the worst of the worst.

Spooky-Wu Flu... a heaven sent excuse for the elite to tighten their control over the plebs. Or an engineered excuse, take your pick, it doesn't matter at this point.

Here, he wanted to ban "AR style" weapons (just the ones that look scary though) with a New Zealand style buy-back program, and also give power to individual municipalities to restrict (read: ban) handguns should they want to, as well as a couple of other minor changes.



It's honestly difficult for me to predict if the changes will be made.  Sometimes I'm a betting man, but not this time...  It could go either way.

An engineered excuse.

I tend to agree. As I said earlier, it doesn't really matter at this point. Assuming you and I are 100% on the money in our suspicions, knowing that it was an act of war and not an act of God doesn't advance any action towards reining in the robber barons who are presently using it to fuck us over, now does it?

No, it doesn't. It is like these inquiries into China's role in all of this. What will a guilty verdict mean? Is China going to write a cheque to every country in the world. Nope.

As expected, Trudeau politicized the tragedy in Nova Scotia by immediately banning assault rifles.  The NS shooter's weapons were not legally purchased.

TODAY - It's official



Feds unveil ban on 1,500 'assault-style' firearms



unveiled the details of the promised ban on Friday, with Public Safety Minister Bill Blair describing it as a "first step" with others still to come.



The ban will see a total of 1,500 assault-style firearms banned for use, sale, import or transport in Canada effective immediately and includes a two-year amnesty period for current owners.



Eventually, there will also be a buyback program, but those details are still being worked out.

Are assault weapons military style rifles?
