"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered an immediate freeze on new sales of handguns on Friday. "The ban on sale, purchase and transfer of handguns is effective immediately and is the latest legal action from Canada on gun violence. " 'Canadians have the right to feel safe in their homes, in their schools, and in their places of worship. With handgun violence increasing across Canada, it is our duty to take urgent action to remove these deadly weapons from our communities,' Trudeau said in a press release. 'Today, we’re keeping more guns out of our communities, and keeping our kids safe.' " https://www.fox43.com/article/news/...ales/507-8e55ee44-9b22-4bd3-8dfe-4ef17c13c413 Gun crime has been increasing in Canada for the past several years. About 60% of guns used in crime there are handguns.
Another thread about this was already just posted 35 minutes ago: Canada has just banned the sale of handguns Probably due to Trudeau's Liberal Party's policy of opening up the country to mass immigration, and growing "diversity". Lots of latchkey kids growing up while their poor immigrant parents are gone all day working. There was a time when gang-related gun violence was almost non-existent in Canada, well at least compared to rates in the U.S. I won't be the least bit surprised if gun crime rates only continue to increase, despite the gun ban.
leftwing scum don't want armed citizens.Of course that turd has men with handguns protecting him. If honest canadians cannot get handguns, he should not be protected by people armed with them
They'll allow handguns, for anyone important and rich enough to afford private bodyguards from a licensed company; and for high level officials in government and high level former politicians. So much for being "politicians of the people".
"Exclusive data obtained by Reuters for Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, shows that when handguns involved in crimes were traced in 2021, they were overwhelmingly - 85% of the time - found to have come from the United States." https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/fighting-gun-crime-canada-has-an-american-problem-2022-07-27/ So the real problem may be lax gun control in the US. I wonder if Biden could take similar action: declare a state of emergency over gun violence and freeze all commerce involving firearms. A president's emergency powers are pretty broad. I remember David Hogg saying that Trump should declare a state of emergency over gun violence.
The supreme court would slap that idiocy down in a second. And senile joe's tenure in office would be over in 2024-if not sooner. You anti gun types keep wanting to do things that will start a civil war-and yet we all know who would lose that
