A six-shooter handgun, shotgun, and bolt action rifle are not banned. These are totally safe home and hunter tools.Here's the thing..the overwhelming majority of Canadians support this measure. It's their country...so they get to set their rules..funny that none of them mourn the loss of some spurious 'liberty' made up by their neighbors to the south. I'm an ardent supporter of the 2nd. It's an American thing...for good or ill.Well the assholes did it.
Took away Liberty from the citizens of Canada. Just like in Australia, UK and NZ.
A few years back the sonofabitches had a firearm registry so they know where to send the thugs.
Shame!
Hopefully the citzens of Canada won't allow this tryanny to happen. This is what you get when you elect stupid Left Wing assholes like they did. A lesson for this country.

Canada bans assault-style weapons after its worst ever mass murder
(CNN)Assault-style weapons are banned in Canada effective immediately, the country's prime minister said Friday.
The move comes less than two weeks after Canada's deadliest rampage in modern history, when a gunman in Nova Scotia killed 22 people after a 12-hour reign of terror.
"You don't need an AR-15 to bring down a deer," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at a news conference in Ottawa. "So, effective immediately, it is no longer permitted to buy, sell, transport, import or use military-grade assault weapons in this country."
Police said the gunman had several semi-automatic handguns and at least two semi-automatic rifles, one of which was described by witnesses as a military-style assault weapon.
"These weapons were designed for one purpose, and one purpose only, to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time. There is no use and no place for such weapons in Canada," Trudeau said.
Four-in-five Canadians support complete ban on civilian possession of assault style weapons - Angus Reid Institute
Fewer, but still two-in-three, also say they support a ban on handguns May 1, 2020 – With the Trudeau government poised to ban some “assault style” weapons, it finds significantangusreid.org
With the Trudeau government poised to ban some “assault style” weapons, it finds significant support for a change first promised by the Liberals in 2015
The results of the latest public opinion survey from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute show an overwhelming majority – nearly four-in-five – support a complete prohibition on civilian possession of the types of weapons used in the Montreal Massacre in 1989, and most recently, the rampage of an assault weapon-carrying murderer who killed 22 people in Nova Scotia last month.
Significantly, two-thirds (65%) strongly support such a move, giving federal policy makers a clear mandate to go forward.
Endorsement for the change transcends political and regional divides, although a slight majority of Canada’s current gun owners oppose it (55%).
More Key Findings:
- While Canadians express majority support for banning both assault weapons and handguns, a significant minority – one-in-three – say they oppose a handgun ban (compared to 22 per cent that oppose an assault weapons ban).
And Germans, French, Dutch....all stood by while their neighbors were herded onto boxcars too.....
All semi/ really THEY ARE fully auto guns, should not be off shooting ranges if want. All AR's should be banned in public hands.
If you want to train with Ar-xxx's, make the army-run day training class/shooting days for blasting gun nutters to masturbate safely.
You are stupid.......semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns are not fully automatic weapons....
the AR-15 is a regular rifle.......
Pump action shotguns are actual military weapons, the AR-15 is not a military weapon, you dumb ass.
Bolt action rifles are military weapons......AR-15s are not....you dumb ass.
