Trudeau government poised to introduce new gun-control legislation

IronNoggin · #1 02-12-2021, 02:39 PM

The Liberal government is poised to introduce legislation as early as next week aimed at strengthening gun control.

The long−promised bill would flesh out last spring’s ban of many firearms, propose stricter storage provisions and target gun smuggling.

The government outlawed a variety of firearms by cabinet order in May, saying they were built for the battlefield, not hunting or sport−shooting.

The ban covers some 1,500 models and variants of what the government considers assault−style weapons, meaning they can no longer be legally used, sold or imported.

The bill is expected to propose a program to buy back these firearms at fair market value, but allow owners to keep them with strict conditions.

The government has long signalled its intention to empower municipalities to manage the storage and use of handguns within their individual jurisdictions, given that they have different needs and concerns.

I would bet central storage is part of this bill.

Mass non-compliance is the only answer.

Good way to end gun smuggling. Why smuggle them when you can steal them from a central storage facility?

Looks like the Bill is scheduled to be presented on Tuesday.

Bohica. That's what happens when a couple youngsters get shot in the NE of Montreal, and down on Jane and Finch (Canada's most popular outdoor shooting range). Goddamn stupid ignorant Liberal government. They will just keep making more and more useless stupid restrictive laws that will accomplish absolutely nothing as far as making Canada safer. But they are going to try and disarm the law abiding. Some may not choose to be disarmed though.

Definition of insanity; doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. The turd keeps passing more and more laws restricting guns, but the homicides continue. Can't comprehend that criminals, by definition, don't care about laws. One thing he will accomplish is disarming much of the population and making criminals of those that refuse to comply!

Duuuuhoo canada!

Putting a Ban on dandelions would be just as effective..

The Liberals are just idiots pandering to another bunch of idiots, and accomplishing nothing!
As always, gun control was introduced to detract attention from other back room deals that they didn't want scrutinized. Same as the last bout of gun control!

The 8 steps to communism

Is some of this, not all, starting to look familiar to what the Turd is doing?...It gave me pause and I was sickened to think of such a thing could happen here....

These are the eight levels of controls by Saul Alinsky to transform a nation through socialism into communism.

1. Healthcare – control healthcare and you control the people.

2. Poverty – Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you provide everything for them to live.

3. Debt – Increase the debt level to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes and this will produce more poverty.

4. Gun control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from government. That way you are able to create a police state.[

5. Welfare – Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government.

6. Education – Take control of what people read and listen to and take control or what children learn in school.

7. Religion – Remove belief in God from the government and schools because the people need to believe in only the government knowing what is best for the people.

8. Class warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class.

This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to tax the wealthy with the support of the poor.

It should be clear to all, how our nation is well on its way to winning its race to the bottom.

Is it our public servants in both political parties who are constitution-despising oath breakers?

Or, we the people who vote and remote them in office to sell us out?

Well, they did it...

From this article: https://www.cp24.com/news/trudeau-go...bill-1.5310838

"Newly tabled gun legislation would allow municipalities to ban handguns through bylaws restricting their possession, storage and transportation. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says today the measures will be backed up with serious penalties to enforce these bylaws, including jail time for people who violate municipal rules."

Municipal Bylaws are now to circumvent the Federal Firearms Act, The Canadian Criminal Code, and the Constitution? You thought he was facing serious legally oriented backlash over the OIC, just wait until you see the line-up of Legal Beagles jumping at the chance to bite into this mess!

CTV's spin doesn't mention the handgun aspect, but does address the OIC Prohibitions:

Feds table firearms legislation with optional gun buyback program

"The federal government is moving forward with its promise to impose stricter gun laws today and will implement a voluntary buyback program to purchase now-prohibited firearms in the "coming months."

Owners of any of the 1,500 firearm models and their variants that the government reclassified as "prohibited" last May will have the option of keeping their weapon under strict storage rules or selling it to Ottawa.

Owners will be first be required to properly license and register their weapon, so authorities know how many are in the hands of the public and whether conditions are being followed.

The government did not provide a clear estimate of the cost of the program."

There is a hell of a lot to question right there...

If these weapons are so damned dangerous they had to be prohibited via a knee jerk OIC, why the hell would they be allowed to remain in legal owner's hands?

Why would anyone who owns a previously unrestricted firearm that landed on the Prohibited List run to inform the government of their ownership? What level of compliance do they think will be achieved here?

They can't produce a budget? More likely they don't want the public to become aware of the millions upon millions this fiasco will cost in an all for naught fumbling of dealing with firearm violence & criminal use in Canada.

This article was published prior to True Dummy's act today. Deje Vue Moments, and VERY much worth the read:

Trudeau’s Gun Ban Showing Cracks As Firearms Community Makes Cultural Gains

"Recent limited victories against the Liberals planned ban of 1,500 models of rifles have all not been as a direct result of legal actions or legislative changes to the ban pushed by the Conservative opposition but is partially due to the Liberals having to moderate themselves in the face of a slowly increasingly pro-firearm rights public.

The main goal of anything done to stop the Liberals ban, such as the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR) attempt to get a legal injunction against the ban, which despite not being granted by the judge, is to help raise more awareness of the issues and the inherently unfair and frankly unconstitutional actions of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals.

Recent indications Trudeau is backing down from making the gun buy-back program mandatory is not likely due to him independently changing his mind, but rather knowing his aggressive gun control measures are pushing the voting public towards the gun lobby and moderation will save him from losing a couple of percent off his polling numbers.

Wilson, talking about the issue of gangs in terms of Trudeau’s gun ban, stated:

This is a sign of a floundering government, either unable or unwilling to combat actual crime, but using it just the same to pander to their base with gun bans. Imagine the gang members reading these headlines or listening to the radio, knowing full well they are exempt from this impending legislation.

It would be foolish to argue that more licensed and responsible gun owners would make communities ravaged by gang violence less safe, and the gun-control lobby and Liberal government should be forced into making that ridiculous argument so that the Canadian general public sees they are not actually interested in upholding the public’s safety.

Non-firearms owners have a lot at stake when it comes to Trudeau’s harsh gun-control policies and they should be made aware that as a result they could also have their property rights eroded and safety compromised.

In the final analysis: if the firearms community and the gun lobby keep pushing back against the anti-firearms culture then the political battle to reverse Trudeau’s gun ban will be made a walk-over."
