Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged a ban on “military-grade” semiautomatic rifles in an attempt to redirect his campaign after his blackface controversy. City News reports that Trudeau announced the rifle ban on Friday in Greektown, Toronto, the area of the city in which a gunman shot 15 people, killing two, last year.
Trudeau said, “We know you do not need a military-grade assault weapon – one designed to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time – to take down a deer.”
His ban includes a two-year amnesty for current owners of the rifles. He also wants a buyback so the government can pay owners when they hand their rifles over.
CBC quoted Trudeau saying, “People are dying. Families are grieving. Communities are suffering. So we’re going to do more and we’re going to do better. Thoughts and prayers are just not going to cut it. The choice could not be clearer: Liberals are for tougher gun laws, Conservatives are for weaker gun laws.

While you’re at it, Justin, how about a ban on shoe polish?
That’s the mark of a politician.
lol
Worthless bucket of festering dog crap.
Canada’s Beto.
What's this 'we' shit, Paleface?
Unless I’ve missed something, I don’t think we’ve had a lot of mass shootings with assault rifles up here in Canada.
No military buys ‘military grade semi automaitc rifles.’
They get tge military grade ones that do full auto. or either or.
Ok black face moron
How transparent a thing to deflect from his blackface stuff.
He wants us all to have flintlock rifles with gun powder then?
The response should be: "Request denied, Buckwheat!"
Back in 2016, they had that crossbow attack in Toronto....three folks dead.

How about a ban on “red diaper baby” infantile politicians in Canada?
He’s a hardcore red just like his father and mother and poses a real threat to America’s existence.
Time to take his antics seriously and get our friends north of the border to keep the pressure on him, birddogging every leftist thing he does, says, or has contacts with.
Trying to wipe the blackface off, Justin?
“He also wants a buyback so the government can pay owners when they hand their rifles over.”
That would be out of character for the Crown. The practice is to march a large body of troops to seize an arms cache then suffer heavy losses when fired upon from forested cover while in retreat.
Never mind. We’re talking about Canada and Canadians. Helluva waste of good cover though. I am laughing.
Fact: Maine now allows concealed carry and their crime has gone down.
Without very special permits, no one can own a fully automatic rifle. That is a military grade assault weapon you dumbasses. A semi-auto rifle is not such, no matter how scary it looks to you. When and by who is this going to made clear?
