    As an American, I sure as hell am glad I don't have Trudeau as my Country's leader..... give me President Poopy Pants over Klaus Schwab Jr....and that's only because Hologram Joe really has no idea what is going on, it's his "handlers" that program him, he's just a poor senile old man.  

    Trudeau is like Newsome.... I wonder if he let his wife sleep with Harvey Weinstein like Gavin.  sick. sad.   

    You will not survive here. You are not a wolf, and this is the land of wolves now...

    Yes, excellent post here Kelly........ because no one needs to defend themselves in the land of Canada because ya know, only guns kill people.... 

    what the hell happened then over the summer when those two brothers went on a knife killing spree?? 

     

    JAMES SMITH CREE NATION, Saskatchewan — The hunt for the killer behind the rampage that killed 10 people in Western Canada ended on Highway 11, a rural Saskatchewan roadway surrounded by dusty fields.

    The Royal Canadian Mounted Police had run the fugitive’s stolen white truck off the road after chasing it at speeds of more than 90 m.p.h. Then they surrounded the suspect and captured him.

    It was over.

    Four days after the tight-knit community was horrified by the spasm of brutality, Myles Sanderson was in police custody. On the Indigenous reserve where most of the violence played out, residents rejoiced at the news. But their celebration at the prospect of a killer facing justice was short-lived.

    Residents recall waking up to the news that Myles Sanderson, a parolee who was 6-foot-1 and 240 pounds, and had a well-demonstrated appetite for fighting, was kicking down doors and stabbing people. As panic and fear spread across the reserve, residents fetched their guns and barricaded their doors with tables and chairs.

    Four days after the tight-knit community was horrified by the spasm of brutality, Myles Sanderson was in police custody. On the Indigenous reserve where most of the violence played out, residents rejoiced at the news. But their celebration at the prospect of a killer facing justice was short-lived.

    Residents recall waking up to the news that Myles Sanderson, a parolee who was 6-foot-1 and 240 pounds, and had a well-demonstrated appetite for fighting, was kicking down doors and stabbing people. As panic and fear spread across the reserve, residents fetched their guns and barricaded their doors with tables and chairs.

    US news rank Canada as the third safest country in the world.  Canada's gun homicide rate is a fraction of US rate. Crime rates are low and the police are trusted. This further proves the effectiveness of gun control.

    mind u since there r almost no republicans-maga-cult-idiots in canada the need to arm everyone else for self defense is a moot point

     

    True.   Both funny and true.

    Of course, getting handguns through sales in Canada had always been difficult.  The hoops they have to jump through cause most to just give up.  Not like here.   HERE, some banks have actually given away free guns in their promotions!  And teens are permitted to purchase a military assault weapon and multiple HC magazines on their 18th birthday....then go and kill people!  

    That's allowed here. 

     

    Not in Canada.

    “Are you referring to the AR-15? If so, buy a rubber chicken and beat yourself with it.

    No one can legally own an assault rifle, unless it was manufactured before 1986, and they possess a Class 3 FFL and are able to pay thr price to buy one and pay the ATF $200 for a tax stamp for every Class 3 Firearm.

    The AR-15 isn't an assault rifle because it is not select fire and only operates as one round per trigger pull, so pretty much the same as any modern magazine fed handgun.

    By the definition of the term assault rifle, you can, but they're more regulated that even revolvers and definitely a more pain in the ass than just buying a semiautomatic rifle where you can have the same rate of fire just by pulling the trigger as quickly as you can, one round at a time.”

    “Can you buy an assault rifle in the US?”

    I can, not everyone can.

    The primary reasons I can are:

    • I have “disposable income” - I earn a good salary, and have saved over the years. This is important - as the cost to buy one begins in the $8,000–$15,000 range for poor quality (condition) and go up from there. Some better quality models easily exceed 100’s of thousands of dollars.
    • I have a clean record - with no disqualifying events in my life. I have excellent references (some of whom already own “assault rifles”, machine guns, submachine guns, tanks, cannon, etc.).
    • I am patient - the process to obtain the “tax stamp” (required to legally purchase/transfer) can take over a year.

    Not everyone has (all) those conditions available to them.

    An “assault rifle” is by definition “select fire” (capable of “automatic” operation). This puts it into a classification of firearms that is not only heavily restricted - but also scarce. No “civilian” can own an “assault rifle” that was made after May 19, 1986; so whatever was available then - are the only ones available now.

    The original law (NFA, 1934) imposed a $200 “tax” on the lawful ownership of automatic firearms. While $200 isn’t much money in today's world, it was a significant amount in 1934.

    Both of these government imposed “conditions” appear to have been made to assure that only the rich/powerful can actually own these kinds of weapons - legally. These government imposed controls have little effect (cost, wait times, scarcity, etc.) on those that obtain them via criminal means.

    None of the libs here knows anything about them, although some claim to have "served". They just think the term "assault rifle" is scary & therefore they should be banned.
