More than 1K assault-style weapons now prohibited in Canada: PM Trudeau

Excellent!!! About time.

There is NO need for this type of weapon .........unless one is in the military.
Uh yeah. Good luck going to war with a semi-automatic rifle as your main weapon, idiot! But let's apply your crappy attitude of assuming you know what one needs. Nobody living in a city needs a personal motor vehicle. You have public transit options and there'd be fewer pedestrian deaths.


In fact, more people were run over and killed just in Toronto last year than the number of people who were killed by someone with a semi-automatic rifle across the entire country. In Canada's WORST year, fewer than 65 people were killed by someone with a semi-automatic rifle. By comparison, 23,000 Canadians die every year from second-hand smoke. Haven't heard any grumblings from the gumbymint about banning cigarettes.


Nor have I heard them discuss the Akwesasne reserve problem. You see OB, the Akwesasne reserve is a pipeline for firearms from the US. As long as it remains a pipeline, the ban will be worse than useless. What's also interesting is what made the list and what didn't. Why are some semi-automatic rifles still permitted? I can no longer purchase a Ruger Mini-14 ranch rifle, but I can still buy a .50 BMG. Yep, that makes sense.

Something that should never have been allowed.
The government should be ashamed of itself for accepting taxes for the sale of these stupid things.
WTF were they thinking?
How do you get leftward government and think in the same sentence?

As I understand it....the weapons banned are for military use ..Why should any civilian carry such a weapon?? Isn't their purpose to kill as many and as fast as possible?? NO civilian needs that kind of weapon. Does the civilian not have enough guns to choose from......if they have to have a gun??
That is because you understand wrong. So the rifle your grandfather brought back with him from WW2 is now illegal.

Like automatic handguns that are basically illegal for law abiding taxpayers but the choice of criminals I fail to see how this latest gun grab is going to prevent criminals from obtaining or using what the clueless call assault rifles. Must be close to 25 years ago the same bunch of clowns stole all the previously legal but restricted automatic rifles. But only from unsuspecting law abiding citizens that were foolish enough to register said toys. So the government knew where most of the ones that would never get used in a crime were. Never stopped a criminal since he didn't Register his. Much like handguns that have had to be registered since 1935 but none of the ones used in crimes are ever registered. Makes the law useless and government look naive.

It's not about the guns, it's about your rights..

In the UK terrorists run you over in trucks, stab you on a bridge..

If someone wants to kill you they don't need a gun, they can use a pressure cooker.

It's about your rights, not guns.

Many want to make the issue about guns, makes them feel safer.. but it doesn't.

Criminals will still obtain illegal guns, there will still be gun violence in Canada.

They just keep chipping away at your rights.

Soon they will just quarantine you for months and bankrupt you.. or sorry they did that one already..

The nanny state.

Regardless........they should be banned . If some gun fanatics get bend out f shape.........Tough. Get over it.

Got no answer OB?

Half of Canadians in cities support full ban on firearms: Ipsos poll

Roughly half of urban Canadians support a full ban on gun ownership, a new poll by Ipsos suggests.
The survey, conducted exclusively for Global News, found that 52 per cent of Canadians polled, living in nine major centres, agree that all types of guns should be made illegal.

Though the polling only captured the views of Canadians in urban centres — not rural areas — it still revealed sharp disparities in opinion.

Toronto and Montreal had the highest levels of support for making any type of gun illegal, at 67 per cent and 57 per cent respectively.
The Prairies saw the least amount of support, at 48 per cent for Winnipeg, 37 per cent in Regina and 30 in Saskatoon. Calgary and Edmonton nearly tied at 34 and 33 per cent each.
Vancouver was nearly on the national average at 53 per cent, while Halifax stood at 42 per cent.

"What we've seen throughout the years in our polling on gun-control questions is that support is always higher in cities than it is in rural regions," he said.
"And so, yes, while the results may be higher as a result of what's happened in Nova Scotia, they could also be lower on a national basis when we factor in the opinions of rural Canadians." Click the link for full article

If you poll just assault style weapons like the AR-15 (ArmaLite rifle) the poll numbers aren't as wishy washy.

And why are ArmaLite rifles assault rifles.

Why is the mini14 ranch an assault rifle.
