    "Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday announced that assault-style firearms would be banned in the country.

    The announcement follows Trudeau's vow to push for stricter gun control after a mass shooting in Nova Scotia ended with 23 dead on April 19.

    Beginning on Friday, around 1,500 makes and models of military-grade firearm weapons would be banned from licensed gun owners to sell, transport, import or use in the country, according to CBC News."

    Owners have two years to comply. And people here wonder why we don't want a registration.

    I encourage them to not comply and fight if necessary.

    But that’s Canada, as long as it doesn’t happen here I don’t care.

    we will see how much it helps when they have another mass shooting

    Canadians never had to earn their independence. Perhaps it's finally time.

    Works for me... no regular citizen (US or Canadian) needs that sort of weaponry...

    Trudeau - "You don't need an AR-15 to bring down a deer," he said.

    I bet most of the folks owning them still cannot....

    Mine reaches out 1200M and is accurate to a 4" target. The scope is amazing. (and expensive). A 5.56MM round is super effective on medium sized game. I don't usually get out larger rounds until I go after larger game, like elk. (7mm) Perhaps, to prove his point, Trudeau should trod off to the forrest and get all manly and kill a deer with just a buck knife.

    Serious question, are you the type that freezes up in fear at the sight of a gun?

    What's interesting is they can pass something, as compared to the US that can't pass anything. I wonder what explains this difference?

    Or he can just head to his favorite exotic restaurant in a suit and order a venison steak (medium) and not need to pretend to prove he's manly.

    How many Canadian towns and cities did the British burn before Canadians declared their independence?

    I have a hard time believing that is a serious question, but no, I do not...

    I've also never had one pointed at me, at which point I probably would...

    I target shot a rifle with my dad 2/3 times as a teenager (probably 13/14). I wasn't remotely afraid (or bad at it), it didn't give me any great thrill and I didn't see the purpose, so I moved on..

    Who cares what the commie Trudeau has to say? We have a 2nd Amendment that is not about hunting -- although liberals keep pretending it is about hunting.

    As an aside, a long time ago I worked for the IMF. My boss was a Canadian who was disliked by his subordinates. To pull his chain, they often would send him into a rage by uttering one word and that word was "Trudeau." Since this was a long time ago I gather that the Trudeau son followed his father into politics. Hopefully that dynastic approach will work for the Trump family.

    LOL, Just last night I watched one of the Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movies. When you said IMF, my first thought was Impossible Mission Force..

    Don't go holding your breath on a Trump dynasty.... No Kennedy, Bush, or Clinton capabilities there...

    Gun registration is so you can keep the guns you own responsibly, not to take them away from you.

    Are you actually asserting that you have a long gun chambered in Nato 5.56 that is capable of killing a target at 1.2 km?

    What type of firearm(s) I have or don't have, isn't any of your fuc*ing business. Or the governments for that matter.

    To both of you, it doesn't matter the direction. If they passed regulations or didn't doesn't matter. The fact that something was done matters more and it's what I'm pointing out. What matters is the pace of regulation passed. Canada has a mass shooting and can pass regulation instead of keep the laws the same way. Why when the US has more mass shootings and can't do the same?

    The US tried that back in the 1980's. It had no effect on anything. It changed nothing. They dropped it in the next congress.
