Assault Style Weapons Prohibited In CDA

Just what do you believe is 'questionable' about the timing of the NS tragedy?
Naivety is believing a gun ban will stop illegal arms coming across our borders. You do know that the NS killer's guns came from the US, do you not? How you propose to stop the illegal trafficking of guns by a ban in Canada? Do you honestly believe the gangbangers are going to stop? If so, you've got another think coming.
You sure can tell who is from larger urban centers compared to smaller and rural communities by the posts in both threads.
If they are on the list they are banned.
If they are not on the list they are not banned.
I believe that you are understanding it incorrectly. Sorry. Mr Trudeau's speech stating "Military Grade Weapons...etc..." was extremely misleading so I can understand how you may be misunderstanding things.
Yes, I live in a smaller (comparatively) urban setting (though not in central Canada) of about a 1/4 million people, and I do not now or have ever owned a firearm, and I believe what happened yesterday with respect to this latest firearms ban is beyond ridiculous, and is an assault on our democracy circumventing the democratic process. Law abiding Canadian firearms owners have a maximum clip size containing 5 rounds, & Mr Trudeau's announcement yesterday doesn't pertain to criminals but only to law abiding Canadians, & this plays to a certain segment of the population I guess.
Without going into the gritty details, and during these strange COVID 19 times some people are taking advantage of the situation much like the Liberal Party of Canada and Mr Trudeau specifically, & I had to engage with one yesterday right behind our home. Without knowing the background, and with you & I never meeting in person.....between myself and the individual below....which one of us do you think would be affected by Mr Trudeau's Order in Council announced yesterday bypassing the checks and balances provided by Parliament and which one wouldn't be?
For a tiny bit of background, this occurred mid-afternoon on a Friday. That is not an N-95 to prevent the spread of COVID 19. That is not a walking stick this individual is carrying due to a physical handicap. This persons interest didn't stop at just the autobody shop's compound across the alley from our home. I'm assuming the backpack isn't to carry his school books or camping supplies, but that's just an assumption.
Here is the truth:
Four-in-five Canadians support complete ban on civilian possession of assault style weapons
The results of the latest public opinion survey from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute show an overwhelming majority – nearly four-in-five – support a complete prohibition on civilian possession of the types of weapons used in the Montreal Massacre in 1989, and most recently, the rampage of an assault weapon-carrying murderer who killed 22 people in Nova Scotia last month.

80% of Canadians back ban on 'assault-style' weapons: poll
The polling numbers come as the federal government moves to ban more than 1,500 weapons, including semiautomatic, large-magazine rifles used to shoot at a rapid fire.

Because that 80% that voted in the poll don't know what the real difference between an assault weapon and a hunting rifle is! they are basing their opinion on looks and what they see in the movies and the bullshit that trudeau is famous for!
Cities have the ability currently to say what firearms are allowed within the city limits. Since this is more of an urban problem perhaps they should start using the tools they already have rather than throw a new blanket over the situation.
The cities want to ban handguns but are unable to do so.
They require a federal framework for the ban.
Perhaps this is a good step in that direction.
As I understand it the cities currently HAVE the ability and were given the ability to ban in their own city limits.
They can already do this.
Canada is absolutely fukked anyhow..
To many East Indians, its has plenty of Oil but buys oil from Saudi Arabia and Russia, too many stupid Liberals, and dumb gun laws that nobody is really going to give a shit about..
Most people with these type of guns will just keep them hidden, and yes now they are illegal..
So if they are stolen, police won't be notified and eventually used in a crime..
The government just created a system where folks will just hide what they have, and if you're hiding 1 get more..
What Canada going to build prisons for a million people :lol:

So can you tell us what type of weapon the Nova Scotia shooter used ? Can Angus Reid ? Pretty amazing the RCMP have not released that information yet Canadians and Angus Reid want them banned .
