    The whole thing is a mess. They banned a locksmith in Fort St John and a Spanish electronic photo booth by accident because they don't know what they're doing.

    The Liberals banned "scary assault rifles", guns with a bore diameter greater than 20mm, and guns with an energy exceeding 10,000 joules. Most of the large bore diameter gun list reads as an excerpt from Forgotten Weapons' youtube channel - it's all insanely rare prototypes and light anti tank and anti-aircraft stuff that was never sold to the public, so it's purely there to fluff up the list and make the public think "Ohhh, good thing they banned those surface to air missiles! It's amazing those were legal!" (they weren't legal in Canada anyways, but let's not let that fact ruin ol' PM Turdo's great victory.) They also re-banned some full-autos because the public recognizes the names. The muzzle energy ban hit a lot of the African big game rifles, which is going to piss off a fair number of rich gun owners that usually don't get involved because they don't think a ban will affect their bolt actions and double rifles.

    They also inserted a passage at the end saying that people are going to buy more guns to replace the ones that the government took away, so they should ban whatever looks popular next time round. They didn't go all-out with a total semi-auto because a lot of gun owners in Canada use semi-autos - the SKS has become the new Enfield there, and black rifles are very common hunting guns (work well in poor conditions, give you a follow up shot when a bear, bison, or moose decides it's going to take you with it). The Liberal strategy has been to divide and conquer the shooting community for 30 years - they know they would be voted out instantly if they attacked all the lazy apathetic hunters who keep reverting back to thinking they'll be safe if they sacrifice other shooters. Fortunately, a lot of hunters are also on gun forums and tied in to social media, and the gun community is very strong, so there's already a very strong and determined push back happening. Here's hoping the Liberal government falls under the weight of its own incompetence and a Conservative government creates a new Firearms Act that deals with some of this political meddling....

    "Police have said he used a handgun that was obtained in Canada and long guns that he obtained in the US, but they have not specifically said what guns he used."

    He probably stole the officers service pistol. Leftard agenda stuff again. More BS

    My son is living in Canada and he says it's getting pretty hot over there, there are more calls for bans on some sporting firearms which is going down like a lead ballon. Firearms with bore diameter 20 mm or greater and having a muzzle energy greater than 10,000 joules are according to the new regulations will be banned.
    This will take out commonly used 10 and 12 gauge shotguns, and many expensive Big Game rifles and Double Guns along with 50 cal etc.
    Apparently the Conservatives are getting stuck into the Liberals over the handling of the ban and it's almost a mirror image of what NZ is going through although the opposition over there is fighting back as Act did here but hopefully they have more success in curbing the Liberals and stopping a lot of this unjustified nonsense. Jacinda has definitely been whispering in Trudoes ear.
