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.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene Suggests Justin Trudeau’s Gun Laws Invite Russian Invasion
“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.
Greene has been quoted by several sources as saying that there were, “extremely high amounts of Covid vaccine deaths.”
It’s Not About Protecting Kids, It’s About Banning Guns
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.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Proposes Trading Democrats for Canadian Guns
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.”
GUNTER: Here’s why Liberal gun ban won’t reduce crime
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 Grab – More US Reaction
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.

Whoopi Goldberg tells NRA that AR-15s have ‘got to go’
“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.”
A reminder (since Trudeau apparently forgot) that Canadian gun law is already way stricter than the U.S.
After word leaked earlier this month that the U.S. Supreme Court was set to overturn federal guarantees on abortion, Trudeau immediately issued a statement touting how “every woman in Canada has a right to a safe and legal abortion.” When Black Lives Matter protests roiled the United States last summer, Trudeau was quick to “take a knee” for photographers on the streets of Ottawa. And now, after a mass shooter killed 19 at an elementary school in Texas last week, Trudeau has responded with a slate of new restrictions on Canadian gun ownership.
24 Hours With Trudeau: Guns Seized, Vaccine Lockdown, Internet Censorship
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has had a busy 24-hours. Within a one day period, the newly established Liberal-NDP Socialist Coalition government accomplished the following tasks:
Passed legislation to ban and collect handguns. Shut down Parliamentary debate regarding Internet Censorship. Overthrow opposition Conservative motion to end Covid lockdowns for the unvaccinated.
A triple play of draconian measures it is. Smooth sailing through the House of Commons it was, thanks to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s agreement to play back up goalie for Justin Trudeau’s pseudo-communist Liberal team.
Biden calls 9mm ‘high-caliber weapons,’ suggests banning them
Recounting a visit to a New York trauma hospital, Biden said doctors showed him X-rays of gunshot wounds.
“They said a .22-caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out — may be able to get it and save the life. A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body,” Biden said.

In Canada, guns are only intended to be used for hunting and sport purposes.”

Trudeau opined, “Gun violence is a complex problem, but at the end of the day the math is really quite simple: The fewer the guns in our communities, the safer everyone will be.”
Breitbart News reported that Chicago had a handgun ban from 1982 til 2010. During that time, homicide numbers skyrocketed as only criminals had guns.

Government tables bill to freeze sale, imports of handguns
New gun control legislation the federal government tabled today includes a national freeze on the purchase, sale, importation and transfer of handguns in Canada — the government’s most ambitious attempt yet to restrict access to firearms in this country.
While the proposal falls short of a full ban on handguns, it would effectively limit the number of them in Canada.
“In other words, we’re capping the market for handguns,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a press conference Monday.
Until now only criminals were interested in smuggled guns. Now normal citizens will have no choice.
New handgun restrictions expected in federal firearm-control bill today
… Though a national ban is not anticipated in the bill, the government could take steps in that direction by phasing out handgun ownership with a cap on the number of firearm licences, outlawing the importation and manufacture of new handguns, or enacting tougher storage rules.

At the same time, he suggested helping provinces and territories ban handguns remains a “top” priority.
