Democrats now have single-party control of the federal government. President Joe Biden styled himself as the most moderate candidate his party had to offer. And still, during the campaign he promised to put Beto O’Rourke – the man who blurted out “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15s” in charge of his administration’s gun policies.

Lawyers, Guns and Money: How To Stop Trudeau’s Gun Grab
Although many firearms owners can be quite pessimistic about the future of firearm rights in Canada everything is far from over as things currently stand.
Canadians opposed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Bill Blair’s “assault-style” rifle ban, and proposed local handgun bans, need to understand that one cannot just simply sit at home voicing opposition to the government’s attempts to seize people’s firearms because with that strategy it will eventually happen sooner or later.
Feds enlist IBM to help design gun buyback program

Non-Firearm Owners Should Care About Trudeau Grabbing Guns

Feds’ Firearm Ban Does Not Address Root Causes of Gun Violence: RCMP Union
The RCMP union says the Liberal government’s firearm ban targeted at legal firearm owners, does not address the “more immediate and growing threat of criminal use of illegal firearms.”
The National Police Federation (NPF), a union that represents 20,000 RCMP members, issued a statement (pdf) on Monday to express their concern over the rising number of illegal guns and shootings in Canada. It says the firearm bans by the liberal government have in fact diverted “extremely important personnel, resources, and funding” away from addressing the root causes of gun violence—illegal guns trafficked across the Canada-U.S. border and criminals using the firearms to commit crimes eventually.
