The Liberal Party of Canada is coming for your guns, and if they succeed, it won t do a thing about gun crime in Canada. The Liberal Party on the campaign trail announced its gun control platform, something it will implement if re-elected, and according to the Liberals, they are going after so-called assault weapons.
00:00:00.000The Liberal Party of Canada is coming for your guns, and if they succeed, it won't do a thing about gun crime in Canada.
00:00:09.000The Liberal Party on the campaign trail announced its gun control platform, something it will implement if re-elected.
00:00:16.000And according to the Liberals, they are going after so-called assault weapons.
00:00:21.000Justin Trudeau, when he made his announcement, gave, by way of example, the AR-15.
00:00:26.000A gun that I've covered in the past, that I've talked about in the past, a firearm that I own in my collection right now.
00:00:32.000And Justin Trudeau says those are gone, banned if the Liberals are re-elected, because they are, again, assault weapons.
00:00:40.000Now, the new policy from the Liberals, who have been in power for four years, by the way,
00:00:45.000and if they believed that they had all these solutions to gun crime, they could have implemented them by now.
00:00:50.000The Liberals have decided that they're also going to give municipalities the authorization to put in municipal handgun bans.
00:00:57.000Now, this is something that Toronto, as one example, has been trying to do.
00:01:01.000What a municipal ban would look like, we don't know.
00:01:04.000Would it just be banning retailers of firearms, or would it actually be banning anyone who lives in that municipality from having a registered handgun?
00:01:12.000There are a lot of questions about this, such as what happens to people that don't surrender their so-called assault weapons under this Liberal plan.
00:01:20.000The Liberals, according to a CBC story, realized that this will cost up to $600 million to buy back the restricted rifles in circulation that they're really trying to target with this.
00:01:32.000And again, the people that are going to say, alright, government, here's my gun, are not the ones that are using them for anything illegal.
00:01:39.000Because the illegal guns are, by and large, unregistered, illegally owned firearms, not the ones the government knows about.
00:01:46.000And the only ones that the government can do anything about are the ones that it knows about, that are registered.
00:01:51.000But the reason this is so important to talk about is because Canadians are being told that this is a public safety measure,
00:01:58.000that this is something that will make the streets more safe.
00:02:01.000Because after all, who needs a restricted rifle? Who needs an AR-15?
00:02:06.000This is the rhetoric the Liberals are using right now.
00:02:09.000And they even said that farmers and hunters aren't using AR-15s.
00:02:13.000Well, no, but the only reason they aren't in Canada is because it is illegal to use,
00:02:18.000not because the gun is not entirely suitable for those purposes.
00:02:21.000And indeed, AR-15s are used for that purpose elsewhere in the world.
00:02:26.000But the problem with this whole thing that the Liberals are trying to do here
00:02:30.000is that it's based on a lie, that assault weapons are the weapons that Canadians own,
00:02:36.000that firearms owned, legally used for target shooting, used for other shooting sports, are in any way assault weapons.
