Trudeau Gun Ban Targets 200,000 Long Guns: Global News - Firearms News

At least some 90,000 so-called “Non-restricted” rifles and shotguns will be forced away from their owners in case of a Trudeau election victory.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will order hunters, farmers and sport shooters to surrender about 200,000 of their firearms if re-elected, Global News reportedtoday, citing Bill Blair, the minster for confiscation.

The estimate covers what Blair called “assault-style weapons,” Global said, citing Blair speaking to reporters this morning. It would be the biggest single firearm seizure in Canadian history.

It means at least some 90,000 so-called “Non-restricted” rifles and shotguns will be forced away from their owners in case of a Trudeau election victory.

Is the US’s gun problem becoming Canada’s gun problem?
​

On a spring evening in 2020, a gunman disguised as a police officer and armed with semi-automatic weapons began a shooting rampage in rural Nova Scotia that left 23 dead.​

​

Days after Canada’s worst mass shooting, the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, promised swift action, announcing an immediate ban on about 1,500 makes and models of military-grade and “assault-style” weapons in the country.​

​

“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,” he said. “Effective immediately, it is no longer permitted to buy, sell, transport, import or use military-grade assault weapons in this country.”​

​

Trudeau’s actions prompted minimal debate and were met with relatively little political resistance – in stark contrast to the United States, where the latest mass shootings have once again highlighted the calcified nature of the gun control debate in a country unwilling or unable to confront firearms violence.​

​

But experts and gun control advocates caution that Canada’s relatively strict laws do not fully shield it from violence of the kind that is rampant in the United States.​

​

A nation where hunting is common, Canada has one of the world’s highest per-capita gun ownership rates. According to the 2018 Small Arms Survey, there are an estimated 34.7 firearms per 100 people. Canada still trails far behind its southern neighbour, both in gun ownership rates and firearms-related incidents.​

​

Part of that is credited to a gun ownership regime that mandates extensive background checks and requires that guns be kept locked and unloaded. There are no comparable “open carry” laws in the country, gun owners must be licensed and all handguns and most semi-automatic weapons must be registered with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.​

​

Is the US’s gun problem becoming Canada’s gun problem?

Relatively strict laws help keep firearms violence well below US levels but advocates say ‘there’s much more we could be doing’

Guns are the number one cause of death of children, teens

How many children died from anything to do with guns last year?

How many died from abortion?

It's not even close.

How many children died from anything to do with guns last year?

Nationwide death certificate data compiled by the CDC show that firearms were the leading cause of death for Americans ages 1-19 years old in 2020. The public health agency hasn’t shared data for 2021 or 2022.​

​

In 2020, firearms led to the deaths of 4,357 children and teens compared to 3,639 deaths from motor vehicle traffic, according to CDC data. An analysis of the data by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Gun Violence Solutions shows that nearly two-thirds of children and teens who died by guns were homicide victims.​

Do you pretend that mindless, microscopic cell masses are "children.?

In 2019, women were allowed to make personal decisions concerning their pregnancies in accordance with Roe v Wade. 92.7% of abortions were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation; a smaller number of abortions (6.2%) were performed at 14–20 weeks’ gestation, and even fewer (<1.0%) were performed at ≥21 weeks’ gestation.

Is the US’s gun problem becoming Canada’s gun problem?

Canaduh is a tyrannical shithole, founded in cowardice and shame; founded in groveling before and kissing the ass of the same tyrant against whom we Americans violently rebelled in order to found our country.

If sharing a border with a much freer country creates problems for Canaduh, then tough shit. It's not us Americans' fault that Canaduh is a tyrannical shithole.

LMAO..............

Pellet gun. We only used them on rabbits and squirrels as a kid. Wasn't charging at the school.

The police say different, but YOU know better?

They SWARMED INTO ACTION and shot dead someone with a pellet gun.

Sure they did, retard, you just can't prove it, like everything else you post.

Bunch of fucking morons...........just like you.

There are plenty of morons like you, disobey the police, then wonder why they get shot, because YOU think YOU have that right.
Just like some black Americans do in the US.

I miss the Leave it to Beaver days when your side had almost no power..............You are a bunch of LUNATICS.

Sure, in leave it to beaver days people didn't need 50 to a 100 rounds to wound a turtle.

Trumptards do.

Most are drugs and gangs. Yawn.

Did you make that up, or do you have actual empirical data?

Do you believe that "drugs and gangs" should have easy access to firearms?

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Only if you pretend that mindless, microscopic cell masses are "children."

So your only argument against counting a category of murders that dwarfs the category that you want to fraudulently claim is the number one cause of death, is to deny the humanity of the human being who were murdered.

Only by “pretending” that Jews and other Untermenschen were human beings can we claim that the Nazis murderer millions of people. Only by “pretending” that black people are human beings can we argue that there was anything wrong with slavery, as it was practiced in our own country's past.

Roe v. Wade: Polls reflect most Americans support
View attachment 651818​

Your falsehood about most Americans who oppose your authoritarian seizure of wombs does not legitimize your fake, absolutist claim concerning the regulation of firearms in the interest of public safety.

​

View attachment 651814​

Justice Scalia went out of his way to declare longstanding laws that prohibit possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill; that forbid guns in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings; that impose conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms; and that restrict the right to carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose, are still valid and enforceable.​

No one is “seizing a womb”. It is what is in the womb that we are not wanting to be killed. A woman can do what she wants with her body, but not with someone else’s.

I oppose your suggestion that guns be banned.

Like most rational Americans, I support reasonable measures to reduce the firearm carnage in the United States.

Gun deaths were the leading killer of US children in 2020​

Denying teenagers ready, easy access to all the assault weapons and rounds of ammunition they might crave is one such popular measure. Those who want to cling to the permissiveness that facilitates the slaughter don't like it, of course. They plead impotence, instead.

The problem is your definitions vs my definition on what is reasonable are going to be vastly different. BTW…We have background checks, so supporting them or not is irrelevant.

Universal background checks are not currently required by U.S. federal law.

Again, besides universal background checks, I agree with most Americans that teenagers shouldn't be indulged with all the assuaut weapons they yearn for.

The democratic will may finally be grudgingly respected to a small degree:

Is Republican Resistance to Gun Control Finally Breaking?​

 

[Bob Blaylock]

The only way either could legitimately be enacted would first be to amend the Constitution to overturn the Second Amendment.

As long as the Second Amendment is in effect, every gun control law, including those, is blatantly illegal and unconstitutional.

If there's really 88% support for any such policy, then that should be enough support to get a Constitutional amendment ratified.

So where is any credible effort to author any such proposed amendment, and initiate the process of adding it to the Constitution?

There is no such effort, because nobody in a position to initiate it believes that such an effort would have any chance of success. Which puts the lie to any claim that there is really that much public support for any policy that would require such an amendment.

Your side is full of shit, and it knows that it's full of shit. If anyone on your side really believed you had that much public support, then you'd get to work on that amendment to overturn the Second.

Firearm background checks: Explained | USAFacts

The checks are designed to stop people who aren't legally allowed to buy a gun, but gaps in the laws remain.

usafacts.org

Background checks for gun purchases​

Gun buyers are required to submit to a background check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).

A prospective buyer fills out ATF Form 4473 and the federally licensed firearms dealers relays this information to the NICS. NICS staff perform a background check to verify the prospective buyer does not have a criminal record and is not otherwise ineligible to purchase a firearm.

State and local gun laws​

State and local officials can implement higher age restrictions on gun ownership but cannot implement lower age restrictions on gun ownership. “Right to carry” laws that determine whether a person can carry guns in public are decided by state and local governments.

 

[schmidlap]

The only way either could legitimately be enacted would first be to amend the Constitution to overturn the Second Amendment.

Sensible, publicly-supported restrictions to reduce the firearm carnage by addressing the permissiveness - such as no longer indulging teenagers with all the assault weapons they fancy - in no way violates the Second Amendment.

From Blackstone through the 19th-century cases, commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.” ANTONIN SCALIA​

Current federal law requires background checks to be performed for anyone purchasing a firearm at a federally licensed gun dealer–however only 40% of guns sold in the US are sold through a federally licensed dealer.​

​

In most states, sales at gun shows, flea markets, and private gun sales are not subject to regulations.​

​

30% of guns involved in criminal trafficking are connected to gun shows, where background checks aren’t required. ​

​

A bipartisan group of senators, confronted with the public outrage over the lethal permissiveness, are now considering legislation that would raise the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21, require a universal background check for all gun sales, and implement "red flag" laws.
