so trudeau just said that they’re “taking new steps on gun control” in addition to moving forwards with letting provinces ban handguns.

the liberals create criminals out of thin fucking air and the sky is blue.

Alright, almost certainly the new bill, then. So their red flag stuff, whatever magazine stuff they came up with, and OIC buyback related stuff. I doubt we're going to see any curveballs, considering the insider leaks from a couple of weeks ago regarding the handgun ban stuff didn't mention anything else we didn't know about.

Why would Trudeau bother making the effort to release an announcement like this unless the move was going to be controversial?

Nah, we can expect to lose much more before the Liberals are through.

Their proposed magazine laws would be a functional ban on 90% of firearms.
