In my first column back at Townhall.com, I wrote about Canadian government officials banning 1,500 so-called “assault-weapons.”
Here’s an excerpt from my column:
For our neighbors to the North, firearm ownership is in peril.
After last month’s horrific mass shooting in Nova Scotia left 22 people dead, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair announced the prohibition of 1,500 so-called “assault weapons.”
In a formal address to the nation on May 1st, Trudeau said: “We are banning 1,500 models and variants of these firearms by way of regulations.”
He added, “These weapons were designed for one purpose and one purpose only to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time. There is no use and no place for such weapons in Canada.”
Not Letting a Crisis Go to Waste
Pushing aggressive gun control positions is par for the course for progressive politicians like Trudeau—who took a page from the Governor Ralph Northam (D-VA) playbook. Get caught wearing blackface or brownface? Go full steam ahead with pushing and imposing ineffective, dangerous gun control policies onto your constituents.
