The fascist Canadian authorities, underneath the “management” of fürer, Justin Trudeau, mentioned Thursday, December 5 that it’s outlawing one other 324 sorts of firearms. Public Security Minister Dominic LeBlanc says these weapons belong on the battlefield, not within the fingers of hunters or sport shooters.
This follows the Could 2020 ban on 1,500 firearm makes and fashions that grew to greater than 2,000 by November 2024 as new variants had been recognized, with determinations made via what LeBlanc describes as a “sturdy” session with RCMP firearms “consultants.” To not be glad with out complete subjugation, the transfer additionally follows expressions of concern from liberal gun-control advocates who consider that not sufficient assault-style firearms had been included within the 2020 ban.
“This implies these firearms can not be used,” LeBlanc mentioned.
Protection Minister Invoice Blair mentioned Canada has approached Ukrainian authorities about working with their authorities to see how the weapons could be donated to help Ukraine’s combat in opposition to Russia. Ukraine has expressed curiosity in a number of the weapons, a transfer that might see them obtain extra provides within the quick time period whereas it can undoubtedly trigger them continued lack of help from conservatives.
“Each little bit of help we will supply to the Ukrainians is one step towards their victory,” Blair mentioned, unable to see the forest via the timber.
The Canadian federal authorities says it’s working with provinces, territories, and police on a deliberate buyback of prohibited weapons from particular person house owners, however don’t let the language idiot you. Simply as an amnesty order adopted the Could 2020 prohibition, an analogous order is now in place till October 30, 2025, permitting licensed firearms house owners time to relinquish their firearms. Solely firearms disposed of via the federal government’s Assault-style Firearms Compensation Program, nonetheless, will likely be eligible for compensation. These firearms deactivated or turned over to police through the amnesty interval is not going to be.
Let’s name it what it’s, a confiscation. Make it simple on us and we’ll throw you pennies on the greenback. Make us wait and we’ll simply take your property. Fascism.
Whereas mass shootings are comparatively uncommon in Canada, these newly introduced measures coincide with the eve of the thirty fifth anniversary of the taking pictures at École Polytechnique in Montreal, the place a gunman killed 14 girls earlier than turning the gun on himself. Included within the 2020 ban was the Ruger Mini-14 utilized by that gunman, Marc Lepine, a ranch rifle and hardly a “weapon of battle,” however historical past tells us this isn’t about battle or what’s used on the battlefield. Criminals intent on killing will all the time have the means, a method or one other, and the federal government is conscious. Historical past tells us definitively that that is purely about subjugation, and we all know the place that leads.
“These are simply killing weapons, battle weapons, army weapons, so I’m proud we’re doing one thing,” mentioned Nathalie Provost, a survivor wounded within the Montreal assault, blocking any semblance of sympathy I could have needed to supply.
Curiously, the SKS, having been utilized in a number of shootings, stays authorized as a consequence of many Indigenous folks utilizing the rifle for searching, nonetheless, a choice on the firearm is anticipated to come back by February earlier than the subsequent section of the “buyback” program.
“We need to replicate on this over the approaching weeks,” mentioned LeBlanc.
Pierre Poilievre, the opposition conservative chief, referred to as the announcement a “stunt” by Trudeau’s authorities that assaults “licensed & law-abiding hunters and sport shooters.”
Tracey Wilson of the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR) says that liberals have discovered nothing over their eight-year-long try to confiscate weapons.
“That is typical Liberal Social gathering divide-and-conquer politics, they know they’re out of time and Canadians are out of cash… They know the Tories will repeal all of it in lower than 10 months. They haven’t used an Order in Council to take care of the day by day violence plaguing Canada, no motion on repeat violent offenders, no response to the pleas of legislation enforcement. Nothing.”
She continued, criticizing the federal government for summarily banning weapons through orders-in-council reasonably than laws.
“The liberals have normalized the subversion of Canada’s democratic course of for their very own political maneuvering,” mentioned Wilson.
However what does Wilson imply when she says “they’re out of time?” The amnesty interval for the brand new measures ending on October 30, 2025, falls 10 days after the mandated day for the subsequent federal election, and conservatives consider that Canadians have had sufficient of the liberal authorities.
Nicolas Johnson, a coverage analyst and thegunblog.ca editor says he’s not conscious of a single gun proprietor who has any intention at hand over their legally bought firearms.
“The liberals do not know the right way to execute their confiscation fantasy, no cash to pay for it, and no method to implement it … The liberals are showing more and more weak, determined, and excessive with this newest measure,” Johnson advised the Toronto Solar.
Johnson’s sentiment echoes the unpopularity of earlier makes an attempt by the Trudeau liberals to use blanket bans on firearms. In 2022, Canadian liberals quietly tabled a pair of amendments to their gun management invoice that might have outlawed authorized rifles used day by day by hunters and sport shooters after huge blowback from these teams and First Nations, a transfer described by the opposition Tories as a “humiliating climb-down” for Trudeau.
Finally the Canadian left is very similar to their counterparts right here in America. They’ll throw spaghetti on the partitions to see if they will get something to stay, with reckless abandon for losing taxpayer sources and shifting focus away from the most effective pursuits of their constituents. Maybe Canada is headed for a reckoning much like what we skilled in America’s 2024 presidential election. One factor is for sure. All the federal government saber-rattling is shedding its enamel because the folks appear more and more fed up.
