This action is an overly-expensive, do-nothing piece of legislation, produced ENTIRELY to cater to the anti's votes and nothing else.
At a time when our public coffers are being rapidly drained, it is incredibly foolish to proceed with it now.
But, there were the warm bodies to make hay on, and trust the liberals never to miss out on such an "opportunity".
Interestingly, Trudeau and Blair backed off substantially in their plans.
Instead of outright bans & confiscation, they are offering two year amnesties for all concerned, a choice between "grandfathering" (you keep the firearm in question until you die, then surrender to government) or surrender now for a below cost offering from the feds.
Interesting in that these actions are pretty well guaranteed to tick off folks on both sides to the equation. The owners are incensed for being taken to task for actions they are in no way even remotely related to. While the anti's are already screaming Blue Murder that This Does Not Go Far Enough.
Another point of interest is that Trudeau announced this "Will not effect First Nations who utilize these firearms for hunting purposes". Bizarre. On one hand no-one needs any of those scary rifles listed to hunt with. But... the poor FN's get to keep them just for that purpose? There are a few areas I can immediately think of that recognize their local FN gangs are not using their AK's for "hunting purposes"...
In his haste to capitalize on our latest tragedy, Trudeau may very well have shot himself in the foot as all concerned are left shaking their heads at his blatant politicizing of such atrocious events.
Time will tell, but this extremely poorly thought out and imposed (OIC) legislation is perhaps headed towards the same end as the ill fated Firearm Registration Program imposed by another set of liberals in a previous lifetime...
I'll be ticking the Grandfather Box, and doing what I can to fight this BS in as many arenas as possible.
In a way it almost would have been preferred to see outright bans and confiscation. We had a plan, a way to fight that which would have cost them dearly. Now, we have to rethink these issues and determine another route. Greater minds than mine are already at that task...
In the meantime I desperately hope the Conservatives get their shit together SOON!
We need them to flip this BS after the next election.
Certainly wish Pierre Poilievre were going to be leading that charge...

I can’t believe that this ban excludes natives... ( of course I believe) in the same article goes on to say you can’t shoot down a bear with an AR but it’s traditional for natives
^^^^were all native aren't we? Letters being made shortly here for my local member of parliament as well as for the PMs office...
First Nations are not exempt from the newly banned list . Trudeau said that traditional hunting rifles are exempt as we will still have them as part of our hunting heritage and First Nations hunting heritage . Basically saying that hunting guns are not part of the plan . But the named guns are banned to all people including FN .
As far as I understand it they need to ban them individually by name and not classification to pass this through an order in council and not go through legislation, such as if they wanted to ban an entire classification of firearm (semi automatic). The narrow scope of their list definitely shows their intentions with this current ban. If by chance he gets elected in again then he'll really get on the banned wagon
