• "Nobody needs an AR15 to hunt deer."
How about, "These guns belong on a battlefield."
And here's the crowning glory of his ignorance...No, you dumbass, they don't. Yet all of this melodramatic misdirection and outright lies are being touted as "accepted wisdom."
• "They shape our identity, they stain our conscience."
Let's pull apart Justin's little dog & pony show.
• No one in Canada hunts deer with an AR15.
The AR15 is classified as a "Restricted Rifle" which requires a separate "license" and can only be taken to a "Restricted Rifle Range." It cannot be used for hunting... whether it's deer, song sparrows or snapping turtles.
Also, for many years now, these (semi-automatic) firearms have been restricted further to using only 5 round magazines.
No one uses an AR15 on the battlefield.
The C7 and C8 variants of this rifle used by Canadian military is a fully automatic select-fire weapon capable of using 30 round magazines. Neither the rifle or the magazines are available to the public.
• "All Canadians must be in compliance with the law."
You mean like Gamil Gharbi, Gabriel Wortman, Faisal Hussain, Kimveer Gill and Michael Zehaf-Bibeau... or the Five Point Generals and the Driftwood Crips?
This is another Liberal Party publicity stunt. It will do nothing to reduce crime or criminals.
Here's a sampling of the folks Justin won't be pursuing with his Royal Proclamations.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ORWELL:From the comments...
• "Is this even legal? If it is, why is it necessary to have a parliament."
• "I 'identify as a Native', so I don’t need to comply."
• "5 years in and Trudeau is taking guns away from citizens and people are standing in line at the grocery store."
• "You have to admire his basic dictatorship."
• "I think a protest is in order. I suggest blocking the rail lines."
