    Re: Gun Control

    I think the world would be a better place without guns; then we could finally focus on the important things, like sword fighting and learning how to kill a man with one punch.

      Seems to be a better idea than arming teachers with guns.

        Gun control takes aim at bad apple gun dealers who will sell to anyone to make a buck.

              We Canadians are proud of our military as well. It is the cowards that send them off to get killed we aren't too fond of.

                  The police are (on average) "only" 9 minutes away. Lot's of badness can happen in those 9 minutes.

                    Rural RCMP officers here are sometimes a whole hour+ flight away. Scary thought... I've heard stories from the officers about how they've had to tell people to wait while they fly up, to try to barricade themselves in their rooms or somewhere isolated to stay as safe as possible for as long as possible.

                    Now that's a scary thought... I also found out that those guys make upwards of 200-400k a year. I still couldn't justify going that rural for money though...

                      That's why typically rural peoples are typically armed. Not just an "attitude" thing, but because the police are further to respond.

                        Re: Gun Control

                        Different story up here. People still are only likely to have a hunting rifle or two and whatever knives etc., they can get their hands on, depending on how rural we're talking. Anyone but an RCMP officer having a handgun in this area is considered dangerous, simply because handguns don't float around here with the same quantity as our neighbour to the south. It's not to say it doesn't happen, but it's maybe a once a year instance at most in some places. Hunting rifles are in abundance, particularly because of the status cards that permit people of certain ethnic backgrounds to hunt all year round regardless of permits etc.

                        Further exceptions apply when you're dealing with the level of rural I'm talking about, where the only way into the community is by plane. They tend to be a little extra strict about guns traveling to reserves by plane here. That's the kind of rural to which I was referring.

                            Effective immediately, Canada bans all forms of Assault rifles. Owners must immediately discontinue their use and have two years to destroy them our export them out of the country.

                            Trudeau announces ban on 1,500 types of '''assault-style''' firearms — effective immediately | CBC News

                            AR-15s and all of its 1,500 shapes and sizes are now deemed illegal.

                            Starting today, licensed gun owners will no longer be allowed to sell, transport, import or use these sorts of weapons in this country.

                            "As of today, the market for assault weapons in Canada is closed," Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said. "Enough is enough. Banning these firearms will save Canadian lives."

                            "These weapons were designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time," Trudeau said. "There is no use and no place for such weapons in Canada."
                            While he acknowledged that most firearms owners are law-abiding citizens, he said hunters don't need this sort of firepower.

                            "You don't need an AR-15 to bring down a deer," he said.


                            The principal models being prohibited:

                            • M16, AR-10, AR-15 rifles and M4 carbine
                            • Ruger Mini-14 rifle
                            • US Rifle M14
                            • Vz58 rifle and CZ858 rifle
                            • Robinson Armament XCR rifle
                            • CZ Scorpion EVO 3 carbine and pistol
                            • Beretta Cx4 Storm carbine
                            • SIG Sauer SIG MCX and SIG Sauer SIG MPX carbines and pistols
                            • Swiss Arms Classic Green and Four Seasons series rifles


                            Today's ban does not cover handguns, the weapon of choice for gang members. Blair promised Friday to enact legislation down the line to give municipalities the power to ban these firearms.

                            Canada will pay these gun owners a $ amount, unknown at this time, to surrender these weapons to the Police.

                            The RCMP has confirmed that the Nova Scotia shooter used firearms obtained illegally in Canada and from U.S. sources to carry out his crimes. He was not licensed to own firearms.

                              Yeah ask Australia how THEIR gun ban is working out for them.

                              No other cuntry has a Constitution like the USA's ..... the UN and lefties want us to give up ours..

                              BTW the AR-15 ( which doesn't stand for ASSAULT RIFLE ) is one of the most popular firearm for: Target/Hunting/Defense .. and yes MANY of we hunters DO use them to hunt: Deer-Feral Hogs-Coyotes-Cougars.
                              In the USA we cannot have "Assault Rifles' for that classification is meant for MILITARY/LEO (full auto) Ar-15's and like semi-auto can only fire one round to one trigger pull. Bump Stocks are bullshit because they still need the trigger 'activated' by bumping the trigger into firing position .... same can be accomplished by hooking your thumb in your belt loop and firing your weapon.
                              MOST accessories that politicians want to 'ban' DO NOT increase firing rate.. nor do the make a weapon 'silent' (reduce noise yes but not to levels you see on the 'follywood' movies.
