Canada has returned to its anti-gun tactics recently. Canada has added several million semi-auto rifles, shotguns, and other long-guns to its existing ban on “assault weapons.”
According to firearmsrights.ca, the new measure names several long guns that are popular. The models include SKS, Tavor and AR180, Kel-Tec Sub2000 Ruger PC Carbine, Ruger P Carbine, Benelli M4 among others.
C-21 also prohibits “ALL-CENTERFIRE SEMIAUTOMATIC firearms equipped with removable magazines.” According to firearmsrights.ca This new gun ban adds a staggering level of prohibitions on the already disastrous gun ban of 2020.
PDW reported the following on May 1, 2020:
Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Friday that there will be a ban on approximately 1,500 assault-style weapons. The ban takes effect immediately. Effective Friday, this ban will be in effect.
Canada Bans Assault-Style Weapons
“As of today the market for assault weapons is closed in Canada,” Bill Blair, Public Safety Minister, told cba.ca. “Enough is enough. These firearms can be banned to save lives.
Trudeau announced a 2-year amnesty period for current owners in order to allow them to comply with the ban. According to cbc.ca, the prime minister also stated that legislation would be introduced in the coming months to provide “fair compensation” for current owners. The Canadian Liberal Party promised a buyback program earlier, but it would likely cost taxpayers hundreds and millions of dollars.
However, the definition of “assault-style weapon” remains unclear. According to cbc.ca, Canada does not currently have a legal definition for the term. According to cbc.ca, Canada effectively banned all semi-automatic firearms that could use a larger capacity magazine. It remains to be determined what the actual definition means.
Trudeau stated that the weapons were made for one purpose and only one purpose… to kill as many people as possible in a short time,” reported cbc.ca.
The new legislation is being introduced at a time when the Nova Scotia shooter used illegal weapons to commit his crimes. This led to the recent gun ban. According to cbc.ca, the gunman used a mixture of illegal firearms from both Canadian and U.S sources. This new law would not have stopped the shooting spree.
We knew this was coming. Canada is now following the same predictable pattern. Liberal politicians will try to increase the number of gun laws that fail. Trudeau and the others in power decided to go for it. Canada’s gun ownership took a huge hit today that it may never recover from. Let’s pray her neighbours to the south learn the lesson and remain vigilant. Oh, Canada …
