National Post- The most nonsensical Trudeau gun ban yet
So, if you were legitimately rounding up a bunch of guns “designed for the battlefield,” it would be very strange if that list contained a bunch of firearms chambered in .22 caliber.
But this one does. Most notably, the list includes the GSG-16, a .22- caliber “plinker” rifle that is occasionally sold in pink. There’s also several guns made to look like famous military rifles, but which have the very non-military capability of firing .22 bullets one at a time.

That these two stories cascade is perfect. Arrest a man, with previous arrests with an illegal hand gun and immediately put him out on bail. Federal government to confiscate squirrel killing weapons and send them to Ukraine.
Canada = stupid.
The Coutts 4 will no doubt be banned from gun ownership, so any guns they may posses would be “illegal.”
Canadians who think there is such a thing as an “illegal” gun = stupid.
The whole purpose of this Lieberal exercise is to eventually confiscate all firearms from the citizens. Don’t hold your breath for the CPC to un-do it.
PP has pledged to undo it and I believe him. What I don’t believe the CPC is capable of doing is to cement firearm ownership rights into the constitution in order to prevent this from ever happening again.
The CPC will roll back the confiscation but not before they fund raise off it for a few years
Chris, I very much wish I will be able to say, “You were right, I was wrong.”
The saying goes that in America, the third rail of politics is Social Security, touch it and die. In Canada it’s re-opening the constitution.
Next election, squirrels will now vote for TurD’Ho!
The Turd is brilliant.
Sparkle Socks has the rodent and rabbit vote locked up.
Just more proof that Trudeau and his fanatical socialist bootlickers value Ukraine’s “no elections” collaborative Nazi regime more than Canadian taxpayers.
Once again proving without doubt there is no limit to stupidity.
Rather than export guns … how about exporting Ukrainian refugees? Deport and repatriate them back to Ukraine. Let the millions of Ukrainians who fled their country return to fight Putin on behalf of the CIA and the US government money launderers.
Yeah … and hand them those scary-looking-black .22 cal. Pop guns.
Throw in some sensible high heels and you’ve got yourself an army.
Joke gun list for a joke country. Perfect.
Question, just why would you give your gun/guns to the government.
Conservative Canadians would no doubt be happier if the were confiscating .308s and the like to hand to the Ukraine.
On the bright side, if PP keeps his promise, FALs and AR15s wont be restricted anymore.
“if PP keeps his promise, FALs and AR15s wont be restricted anymore.”
Please dig up that promise.
He promised to categorize guns based on function, not appearance or politics, legislatively, removing the RCMPs power to declare something restricted or prohibited, FALs and AR15s are just semi-auto rifles.

He better get rid of the current categories entirely.
Currently, Prohibited = Can’t transfer and can’t shoot, Restricted = Can tranfer but can only shoot at a gun range.
By the time the Conservatives form a government (if they do) there won’t be any gun ranges because the existing ones will all have gone under financially – and like the cancelled pipelines, there will be nobody willing to invest in any new ones with the risk of a future Lib/NDP governments pulling the rug out again.
So the only places available for non-land owning gun owners to shoot will be public lands. Hence no “Prohibited”, and no “Restricted”.
We’ll be out there shooting watermellons with full auto machine guns and the yellow-bellied pussywillow buttercups will just have to suck it up.
Years ago I had riveted my FAL magazine to 5 rounds. Recently I welded it to zero rounds figuring it would never again be fired and not trusting the pigs. I would love to fire it again. The magazine can always be repaired, I guess. It’s just a semi-auto rifle. I’m not even sure why it was restricted, much less prohibited. The rifle I used in the reserves was the FAL, now they make me a criminal for shooting one.
There is a several month long waiting list at our range. It is not going under any time soon.
Again, I suggest you think outside the box. If train loads of armaments can go missing and nobody cares, then maybe you are setting your sights too close, and too low. Does your defence grid have an intimidating anti drone capability? Talk to your friendly undocumented munitions dealer over a cup of coffee. Your neighbours are doing it; so should you.
“Talk to your friendly undocumented munitions dealer over a cup of coffee.”
Canadians would rather rat out their friendly undocumented munitions dealers, because they’re a bunch of yellow-bellied pussywillow buttercups who want the gov’t to keep them safe. This is just as true of conservatives as liberals. Just ask OJ.
“yellow-bellied pussywillow buttercups”
At first reading I thought, superfluous, then I thought nah, add more –
yellow-bellied pussywillow panty-waist buttercups.
h/t Mr. Steyn
Agreed.
May as well throw in lily-livered as well.
“yellow-bellied pussywillow buttercups”
biblepounders is more accurate!
Rite yeahBUTT?
will the Ukes be grateful or insulted?
The CPC Reversing this isn’t good enough. I don’t even think they will because they are losers.
This was done by OIC, which I think, gives license to the CPC to harvest liberal tears by the tanker.
Bring out the ban hammer on literally everything liberals live. They won’t because conservatives are cucks.
Ban abortion. Oceans of tears. Nope, just not fair.
Ban Pride anything and everything. But I know a gay guy and he hasn’t molested my kids. (Yet)
Ban porn. But I’m a wanker PP says.
Tax rebates if you withdraw your kids from public school.
Drop income taxes to nil. Print and spend baby!
Tax the hell out of anything with sugar and vegetable oil. Cat lady’s wept.
Speaking of cats…
Ban ban ban.
Ban personal internal massage devices. Liberal aholes hardest hit.
Nothing will happen because the CPC are cucks. Liberals attacked. CPC wants to end the war, terrified of losing the ammo they need to kill themselves.
Losers. The liberal party will come back stronger and meaner than ever.
An OIC saying the only ID necessary to buy any firearm is a driver’s license.
That’s what PP would do if he actually gave a crap about Canadian’s freedom and rights.
OIC out anything liberals love& OIC in anything they hate. This gun ban doesn’t even have any rational except some secret brown envelope evidence that the judge agrees makes them super dangerous. Hence the appeal. But if this appeal fails it should be open season after the next election on anything and everything. It won’t be because PP has a sensible bow tie up his butt.

Nice kkkommy rant, or is that a pounder rant?
A Recipe for Victory.
.22 rifles versus hypersonic missiles.
That sounds exactly like Fidelito’s military strategy.
At least when the Muzzies take over Canada they won’t face any resistance from its citizens.
Alberta and Saskatchewan governments have both introduced legislation to prevent the federal government from being able to confiscate firearms from their citizens so I’m not concerned about the federal legislation on a personal level. The ideology behind taking property away from law abiding, licensed owner is offensive. Everyone, even anti-firearms activists, know these “buybacks” (how can the federal government buyback property they never owned?) from licensed owners will do virtually nothing to reduce crime in urban areas. It’s not about crime reduction, it’s yet another attack on law abiding citizens for political reasons by our increasingly authoritarian government.
The projected costs are 700 million dollars, money that should go to borders and ports to reduce smuggling operation. Interrupting the smuggling of guns, drugs and illegal immigration would be 100% more effective at reducing violent crime in Canada. Keep violent criminals in prison instead of going after hunters, farmers and ranchers. This should be obvious even to Liberal or NDP voters in Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto.
If you think that owning a gun without the gov’ts permission to do so is a problem, then you are part of the problem.
Gun smuggling just takes up the slack that the gun bans make. Its the same as drugs.
You want a lucrative market sector controlled by ruthless opportunists? Just ban things.
Canadians are so retarded that when the gov’t cuts off the supply of firearms, the Canadian citizens jump up to cut off the black market supply. Dumb as a bag of rocks.
That’s quite a bizarre take from my post. The Canadian firearms black market is mainly smuggling in handguns and then selling them to criminals. Even the US does not allows felons to legally purchase and own firearms or allow smuggling firearms into the country.
I assume you’re just trolling for attention….
Not a bizarre take at all. The US National Firearms Act of 1934 is unconstitutional, and, as I have said before, it should be no harder to buy a gun than a shovel, machete or chainsaw, and to suggest otherwise is to suggest that the Turd has a legitimate role in gun control. Just because you are scared of criminals with guns. Guess what? Criminals don’t care about the law, so no matter what laws you pass that make it harder for normal folk to get guns, all you really accomplish is to disarm the law-abiding.
A man’s ownership of firearms is none of the gov’ts business.
I agree with you one hundred percent cent. My issue is that at the first whine from the Wendy Cukiers of the land about guns running amok, loading themselves and killing babies, I fear PP will back off.
I’ll feel better if I have to say I was wrong about PP backing off.
I get the philosophical point but I’m not convinced that everyone that can get a driver’s licence should get a firearm. Convicted muggers, bank robbers, murderers, etc. do not have the self control to be trusted with legal firearm ownership. I also think that completing a gun safety course is sensible.
I don’t think it should be up to you, or anyone else, to decide who can or cannot own a firearm.
If you believe that the gov’t should decide, well, the Turd is your man.
If a man is too dangerous to let on the street with a gun, he’s also too dangerous to let on the street period…or are you OK with dangerous felons on the street, just so long as they don’t have guns? You’re fine with them having, say, machetes? Do you want machete control, too?
Yes, I think the government does have a responsibility to keep firearms out of the hands of violent felons..for the same reason we punish bad driver (DUI, reckless driving causing death, etc). If felons are found with firearms they should be charged, ditto for unlicensed drivers. As a licenced driver, licenced firearm owner and hunter I see the need for safe driving courses and gun safety courses. Both require a knowledge of rules and laws, how to safely operate a gun/vehicle and basic maintenance. I think both should he handled by provincial governments, not the federal government.
Potato is going for broke. Expect more nonsense to come because he can and got nothing to lose. It is all about sticking a finger in the eye of his political opponents. A ridiculous, cynical move just to say “f#$% you” on the way out. Thanks Maxipads, you own that one too.
Jessica suffers from BDS, big surprise.
Trust a defund the police, Schiff/Turd/Biden/Nuland/Soros foreign policy lover, bike-hating libtard to come down against the most conservative platform in Canada.
Yawn, you and UnMe voted for Potato, I voted against him. Everything Potato does, is on you, no matter how many tangents you will try to bounce. Own up instead of deflecting you pathetic coward.
Yup.
Its not just political opponents but, voters.
There might be 5 out of 2,2 million gun owners who would vote for him.
Our current govt is run like a junior high social studies class. I wonder why.
If those eeeeevil black guns are only good for killing the maximum number of people in the minimum amount of time, then why does law enforcement have them? Is there a scenario where this is necessary? Asking for the public safety minister…
They needed them that one time for that bank robbery in LA. I think cops ended up using deer rifles from a local store.
I’ve only seen cops with ARs a few times. George Floyd riots most recently.
GSG-16 Semi-Automatic Rifle
• Collapsible stock with extra magazine storage compartment• 16-1/4″ barrel with faux suppressor with quick-acquisition front/rear sights• Ambidextrous charging handle• Includes two 22-round magazines ·
comment Clean it constantly. Don’t fill the magazines all the way. 90 rounds for the drum mag and 18-20 in the stick mags. CCI Stingers have worked best for me, but don’t buy any ammo in bulk until you’ve shit tested it in smaller quantities at the range. Don’t hit the charging handle too hard. Try not to go too crazy with rapid firing it. A slight pause between trigger pulls. Don’t pick it up by the barrel sleeve. Magazine couplers prevent proper feeding by squeezing the mag and binding the rounds and spring. Keep a few mechanical pencils on hand as the springs in them work as adequate replacements for springs that will likely yeet themselves out of your gun at some point. Use a cold weather lubricant when shooting in cold weather. That’s about all I can think of at the moment.
I don’t like CCI at all. Much prefer Federal.
The PM was held hostage by rogue squirrels and is now suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
The same people that believe that it’s the look of the gun that commits’ the crime believe in 56 genders. Pandering to urban Eloi and nanny-state nazis.
If only we could prohibit stupidity.
VOWD,……..IF ONLY!
