Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has introduced legislation that would put a national freeze on importing, buying or selling handguns. It will also require rifle magazines to be permanently altered to never hold more than five rounds.

Bill Blair, minister of emergency preparedness, said Canada is very different from the United States.

Blair noted guns are often smuggled in illegally from the U.S., which he noted has one of the largest small arms arsenals in the world. The bill would create a new “red flag” law allowing courts to require that people considered a danger to themselves or others surrender their firearms to police. The government said the measure would guard the safety of those applying through the process, often women in danger of domestic abuse, by protecting their identities.

The new measures are assured of passing in Canada’s Parliament as the ruling Liberals and leftist opposition New Democrats have enough votes.

Good old fascist dictators like Justin Trudeau just love to disarm thier people. They are always afraid the people may eventually try and resist thier growing tyranny.. It never ends well for the people, the mass graves speak for themselves.

Say what say what!!!

You just made Canada a sitting duck for terrorists everywhere.

That is what sane people do

Good for them! Canadians elected him to office and now they get to reep the benefits.

👍👏👏👏

If Canadians don't overthrow their govnt for this we should take it as a sign of weakness and invade. 🇺🇸 🚀 🔫 🔫 🔫 💥 💥🎆 🎇 🧨 🔫

Top man!

Boarder to Boarder that's including Texas in Indiana

Well done northern neighbors. Maybe our government will take notice? Nah, probably not.

Canadians: I can’t afford a house. Trudeau: No guns for you. Canadians: ……

Seems like Canada is no longer a free country - bad for the people but definitely good for the government. Wake up Canada!

Saving one child at a time is better than standing idly while 19 children get massacred. Any act from the US against guns, no matter how small, is desperately needed by innocent defenseless children. But, it seems too much of a burden to modify the rules a little to save children

No, keeping mine. Have a nice day. I no longer identify as a subject of your kingdom.

Thank god I don’t live in Canada, holy shit lol

Great news! Considering how sick - deadly sick - the American gun culture & worship is - and bleeding into our country - we have to stop it now. Be like other countries, not like the USA.

Canada has the balls to do what’s right. Move forward it’s 2022 not 1791! That’s taking action! No thoughts & prayers. Doing the right thing!

If only we could do that..

Canadian gun owners when some american schizo loses his shit so now they have to turn their guns into airsofts or whatever

Trudeau just banning guns because he knows after next election he have no where to hide

Add Canada to the common sense category. Meanwhile the US can be in the same category as Somalia, Afghanistan and other banana republics.

Any black man that believes America is racist yet wants that same racist government to outlaw gun ownership for all, particularly Blacks, is a fool. An armed people pose a threat but unarmed people are ripe for bondage.

Canada deserves this. GLTA.

Do you need more teachers…

L Canada

Excellent

This is sad.

In the last decade the gun-rights side has shifted from 'I need guns to keep my home safe from criminals' to 'I need guns to keep myself safe from the government,' a far more principled and non-negotiable position.

I'm truly beginning to hate this fucking country.

I don't believe 'Justin Trudeau' can be trusted. Look at how he crushed the truckers that just wanted to work. This action smells of power grab.

Awesome.

Magazines are already pinned to 3,5,10 depending on calibre…. For example my ruger 10/22 has a 10 round mag and illegal to own more…. Nothing new

mdnij34 Praise the lord

In Canada, if you are a legal gun owner with a legal gun who shoots an home invader that is attacking your children… YOU WILL GO TO JAIL. Criminals caught with illegal firearms get a slap on the wrist. TrudeauMustGo Canada

Sounds like what a “developed” country would do.

BlackLivesMatter Racist

Following the socialists handbook. (The communist manifesto)

Why can't we ever just ban white terrorists?

Logic CAN win.

This is unconstitutional and an affront to White Power.

Scary day to be a Canadian

Tonight's movie is Destination Tokyo... Released in 1943...Good ideas for removing 'knives' from the hands of children

People with armed security love telling other people they don’t need guns

So in response to massacres in US the Canadian govt bans guns but not the US govt!

MikeGiardi Wow, a politician with common sense?! So it is possible?

Excellent decision.

Governments 🤥🤥 are afraid of armed people, why not forbid knives for butchers or scissors for hair dressers. The problem with guns is only education and mutual respect 😉

mmmmm look at all these bots and foreigners

Canadian Music Producer / Writer and Performer. Hope you can get a min to sub

By executive order?

I am in favor of reform, but I think 5 may be too low. Even a revolver holds 6.

I'm sure all the criminals will follow all the new gun laws.

As long as we have a Ted Cruz and an NRA. We will never be like his birth country Canada and take meaningful action with guns. We can't even get Republicans to be honest about assault weapons GunControlNow TikTok BanAssaultWeaponsNow

Good

Totally comunista agenda

This sounds.... extremely logical, weird everyone mad lol

You know what's amazing about America? The US is the one with a gun control problem, but Canada is the one that implemented the gun law faster

Blackface Castro Jr says what?

Wish we could have some common sense here in the USA. Why individuals need military-style weapons and clips that hold 20+ rounds is insane. Hope more lawsuits are filed against gun manufacturers who produce them before more people die needlessly.

Wef agenda won’t stop shit. Hot summer

I bet those that protect him have high capacity magazines and will still have them after this passes. I bet he won’t dare allow his own rules to apply to his own security . Another progressive Royal , wants to hold you down while he lives as he pleases .

This guy doesn't get it

If the US actually had an operating government, they'd one-up Canada and go even further. Instead, Canada is leading by example and leaving the US in the dust.

But I can still print an extended magazine from the comfort of my own home, right?

Will trade gun for poutine

Does banning anything curb the malice and malcontent in the hearts of those who perform violence against others? No it doesn't. So you are not solving anything. All you are providing is a dominance of protection and security for the privileged.

I wish the USA would do something like this.

I wonder if our government is enjoying their vacation?

Guns are a problem in a different country…so let’s punish legal gun owners in Canada. Great plan 😜

US should learn from their neighbours.

Smart country.

People aren’t killing each other with guns in Canada. Moose maybe but people, no.

Need this in America.

So white of him.

They freeze bank accounts, now freedom to protect ourselves over a overruling in the government…
