The young man in the jeans and sunglasses proudly shows off his gun in the YouTube video, then instructs his 1 million subscribers how to fit an extra clip in his gun belt, and offers a chilling observation.
“Pretty cool for active shooter stuff, if you need extra mags.”
It’s a typical video, one of thousands teaching military-style training and tactics to civilian gun owners, offering instructions on silencers and grenade launchers, on shooting from vehicles or into buildings. Other websites sell ghost gun kits, gas masks and body armor.
We’ve heard a lot about crassly opportunistic politicians exploiting low-info voters. I wonder how many of Canada’s urbanites would be surprised to realize that this time, that means them.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino spent much of the past week on the road, promoting his government’s new gun control bill to Canadians just as Canadians witnessed another wave of mass shootings south of the border.
But for all the attention being paid to proposed measures that would freeze handgun ownership in this country, ban the sale of long-gun magazines that hold more than five rounds and implement a mandatory buyback of assault-style weapons, there’s growing concern that the Canada-U.S. border is no barrier to gangs smuggling guns into this country.
It’s a bad law made by stupid people who should never have been elected. If you voted Liberal or NDP go fuck yourself.
It was just two years ago that Canada banned many semi-automatic rifles, while it also imposed new gun control laws that included expanded background checks.
As part of the latest efforts, Canada has implemented a national freeze on handguns, which is meant to prevent individuals from buying, selling, or transferring handguns within the country. As part of the new legislation, the Government of Canada will require that long-gun magazines be permanently altered so that they can never hold more than five rounds, while the sale and transfer of “large-capacity magazines” will be banned under the Criminal Code.
In 2010, gun-control activists thought they were on the verge of a major victory in Albany.
Led by then-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and backed by his considerable fortune, activists were pushing a bill requiring new handguns be equipped with microstamping — technology allowing a unique code to be etched into each bullet casing as it’s fired. The marked casing could then be used to determine the make, model and serial number of the weapon from whence it came. The technology has been billed as an aid to law enforcement seeking to identify a gun used by an assailant.
“In Canada, gun ownership is a privilege, not a right,” said Bill Blair, Canada’s minister of emergency preparedness, before referring to the U.S.:
“This is a principle that differentiates ourselves from many other countries in the world, notably our colleagues and friends to the south. In Canada, guns are only intended to be used for hunting and sport purposes.”
This may be true as a matter of positive law. Canada has gone much further in banning guns than has the United States. Gun confiscation isn’t far off. It’s the logical conclusion of the idea that all deaths attributable to guns are preventable, and any law or right preventing it is illegitimate.
But the notion that firearm ownership is a “privilege and not a right” for Canadians, as opposed to Americans, is incorrect. It is a right, just not one protected by the Canadian government. That’s an important distinction.
A British Columbia gun and ammunition store says that sales for handguns have gown through the roof after the Trudeau Liberals made the announcement that there would be a nationwide freeze on the buying, selling, or transfer of handguns.
With few constraints, Justin Trudeau has turned Canada into a laboratory for left-wing policies.
There is little reason why Canada should feature in National Review or deserve journalistic treatment anywhere, except as a joke. It’s a nation without a purpose for its existence and a void in place of a national character. Whereas America is defined by its political freedom, Britain by its rich cultural and political history, Australia by its frontier spirit, and New Zealand by its unique Anglo-Maori culture, Canada is the only Western, anglophone, liberal democracy with absolutely nothing else about it. This lack of national identity — or, as its prime minister, Justin Trudeau, describes it, “post-national” — makes it dull, uninteresting, and unworthy of respect. Ask Canadian citizens what their country means to the world, and they’ll genuinely struggle to give you an answer. As a citizen of Canada myself, I readily conclude that there is none.
In the comments, O’Rourke stressed his position that no one should be able “to purchase an AR-15 or AK-47,” and added, “I don’t think that the people who have them right now in civilian use should be able to keep them.”
“Trudeau foolishly completely ignores how taking guns away from his people makes his country weak and vulnerable to being invaded and easily taken over by another stronger country,” the Georgia Republican wrote in the second post of a six-part Twitter thread on her official account. (Her personal account was permanently banned by Twitter over COVID misinformation.)
Why was Marjorie Taylor Greene banned from Twitter?
Greene’s personal account has been permanently suspended so the offending tweet is no longer viewable. However, several screenshots and quotes are floating around online showing the offending tweet.
The Uvalde killer accessed the school through an unlocked door at Robb Elementary School. There was no outside force multiplier against unlawful entry, no known security system, and no SRO on campus.
The commissions recommended numerous security measures, including controlled ingress/egress, locking doors, SROs, and more. Democrats oppose improving security and instead stated that they were also focusing on basic 9mm handguns while again falsely proclaiming that people were disallowed cannon ownership during the Revolution. He made this remark to the press pool yesterday. Last week Senator Chuck Schumer tanked a school safety proposal instead choosing to advance only gun control measures.
Dead children are the left’s best tactic to achieve total gun confiscation. Then they have complete control.
Republican U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has denounced Canada’s proposed ban on handguns, while offering to trade Democrats for the Canadian government’s “unwanted” guns.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Greene blasted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s proposed ban, which was announced on Monday. The Georgia Republican said that her disapproval of the proposal had led “Democrat blue check marks & blueanons” on Twitter to discuss a U.S. annex of “defenseless Canada” because they were in favor of “Trudeau’s wokeness & tyrannical dictatorship.”
The Liberals’ slow-motion confiscation of all handguns in the country – which is what Monday’s announcement of a freeze on handgun sales is really all about – will do nothing to reduce violent crime in Canada.
Trudeau’s Gun Ban Would Have ‘No Chance’ Under U.S. Constitution: Expert
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new proposed gun restrictions have raised concerns that similar measures could be pushed in the U.S., but these types of reform would be barred under the U.S. Constitution, according to one expert.
The U.S. gun control debate was again pushed to the forefront last week following the mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead. Trudeau’s proposed measures, which would place a national ban on handgun sales if passed by the Canadian parliament, have drawn strong criticism from U.S. conservatives who worry that similar measures could be introduced in America.
Trudeau is blasted for handgun ban in wake of Texas massacre as critics say most crimes in Canada are committed with illegal weapons smuggled in from USA
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing backlash over his calls to implement a ‘national freeze’ on handgun ownership in his country in the wake of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
Critics claim his new proposed ban will do nothing to protect citizens as many guns ‘are already illegal’ and the ‘freeze’ doesn’t tackle the ‘root cause’ of the crime problem, which is gun smuggling.
On gun reform, neighboring Canada takes a different tack
The Canadian government’s swift push this week for tough new limits on firearms is adding fuel to the fierce debate over gun reform south of the border in the United States, where last week’s shooting massacre at a Texas elementary school has sparked Congress’s latest effort to curb endemic gun violence — and triggered new questions about why U.S. policymakers have been so ineffective at doing so.
“Dystopian future”: Republicans cry “communism” after Canada cracks down on guns after mass shooting
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday announced a new proposal cracking down on “military-style assault weapons” and handgun sales, triggering alarm among Republicans in the U.S. who have resisted any gun restrictions in the wake of deadly mass shootings.
Trudeau announced a mandatory buyback program targeting assault weapons and new regulations that will ban sales and imports of handguns. The legislation is expected to pass.

“Listen, this AR-15’s got to go,” Goldberg said during a discussion on gun control during Tuesday’s show. “I don’t care, NRA. You’ve got to give that gun up. You can have your other yeehaw guns, whatever you want. But the AR-15 is not a hunting gun. It is not a gun where you’re going to go out and shoot your dinner.”
