Canada bans assault-style weapons after its worst ever mass murder

[37L1]

The ban - which includes buying, selling, transporting, importing or using the designated weapons - will become effective immediately by changing government regulations, Trudeau said.

Canadian pollster Angus Reid released a survey on Friday which found that 78% of Canadians support a ban on military-grade assault weapons.

He did it without Parliament. Admittedly, I have no idea what that means in Canada.

But I definitely wondered if he was acting unilaterally, sounds like he was.

Just think, there are several posters on this board that want our President to have that power.

Yea, see this is where the questions come for me.

If all they did was “change government regulations”... can’t the next gov’t change them right back?

I guess they could but I really doubt they will. Canada is eat up with stupid, I hate doing business up there.

Probably be another Liberal and with 78% support, they won't.

Assault-style weapons are banned in Canada effective immediately, the country's prime minister said Friday.

The move comes less than two weeks after Canada's deadliest rampage in modern history, when a gunman in Nova Scotia killed 22 people after a 12-hour reign of terror.

"You don't need an AR-15 to bring down a deer," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at a news conference in Ottawa. "So, effective immediately, it is no longer permitted to buy, sell, transport, import or use military-grade assault weapons in this country."

Police said the gunman had several semi-automatic handguns and at least two semi-automatic rifles, one of which was described by witnesses as a military-style assault weapon.

"These weapons were designed for one purpose, and one purpose only, to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time. There is no use and no place for such weapons in Canada," Trudeau said.

The ban is effective immediately but disposal of the weapons will be subject to a two-year amnesty period. Trudeau said some form of compensation would also be put in place but the firearms can also be exported and sold after a proper export license is obtained.

Trudeau said that "thoughts and prayers" for mass shooting victims were no longer enough and that's why his government acted.

Not sure what they consider "military grade", but I'd bet none of the weapons actually are.

If our military is spending as much as it is it better have more than the rinky dink AR 15s I see at the range.

The western provinces need to secede and petition to join the USoA. Let the leftist Frenchies in the east fend for themselves.

I agree, it's hard to find anyone in Quebec or Ontario that wants to work.

So where can I get my hands on a “military grade assault weapon” in the US that doesn’t already require an ATF tax stamp? Asking for a friend.
