00:00:00.000 Can you explain, in the best of your ability, what kinds of firearms the current federal liberal
00:00:08.120 government is trying to ban? Because I want to stress, this may sound silly for those of us who
00:00:13.080 understand firearms culture, so folks just bear with me. In Canada, the machine gun that you will
00:00:21.520 see on like a Rambo movie or something, where the person just holds down the trigger and sprays
00:00:26.860 bullets. Those have been big time illegal since before I was born. Okay. In the early 70s. So the
00:00:34.980 full auto thing, like that, that is not accepted in Canada. Those are not what the government is
00:00:42.860 banning. When people say, oh, they're banning semi-automatics. Okay. What a semi-automatic
00:00:49.320 means in normal people talk is if you've got your firearm up, it's squeeze, bang, squeeze,
00:00:56.860 bang, you have to pull the trigger every time. There's no holding your finger down and spraying
00:01:03.120 rounds at people. So like, this is where I do think there's a big education gap between the
00:01:09.860 folks who understand normal, safe, law-abiding firearms ownerships with all of our trigger locks
00:01:16.000 and our gun safes and all of our background checks. Okay. When you go even just for your
00:01:20.500 regular pal, okay, your regular, you know, non-restricted, if you want to own a rifle or
00:01:25.480 shotgun they phone your ex-boyfriends and girlfriends okay like they do a really thorough
00:01:32.040 background check to make sure things are all in the up and up so all that said can you please
00:01:37.480 describe for people what kinds and styles i think is the better term of firearms the federal
00:01:44.520 government is trying to confiscate so the most important thing is assault weapons don't they
00:01:49.960 don't exist in canada the only people that have assault weapons as you're describing full autos
00:01:54.680 right hold hold the trigger and the firearm continues to discharge bullets right those uh
00:02:01.080 it was actually the late 70s that those were banned and it was a long time ago we definitely
00:02:07.480 agree on that and the only people that have those are movie armorers and museums basically and the
00:02:13.000 police and the military of course and then a handful of people that had a specific status
00:02:19.080 Even me, I'm too young to have gotten a prohibitive license, a prohibited firearms license. So really important. I have so much experience with the legacy media in Canada showing stories about the so-called buyback and the Bill C-71 and Bill C-21 and all this different legislation and orders in council.
00:02:43.400 And then while they're talking about these measures, they show full autos in the United States being being discharged.
00:02:50.320 Like when you say education gap, it truly is propaganda.
