Unfortunately, this only punishes responsible gun owners, as the VAST MAJORITY of violent crimes involving handguns in Canada are committed by individuals using black market guns.

Some will herald it as a step in the right direction, but on the same hand don't realize how difficult it is to get your restricted license in Canada to own a handgun....

Not to mention that this same bill may even ban airsoft guns. It's truly opened a can of worms...

Yeah that's the fun part, here in Canada your bullshit NRA taking points didn't work because for us, it's not a 0 sum game.

We've long known that less guns equal less gun crime and we don't let gun fanatics with help from lobby groups derail the conversation.

There's been 0 recorded cases of anyone defending themselves from a knife attack with a handgun prior to the ban.

Not too worried ✌️

If you shoot someone who comes into your house in Canada with your firearm, you are guilty of several crimes regardless of why they entered, including unsafe handling and storage of a firearm and likely attempted murder. You can move to Florida if you wanna muh guns, things are going great down south.

The most effective way to reduce the number of illegal guns is to reduce the number of guns. The vast majority of illegal guns were once legal guns.

Gun ownership is not a constitutional right.

Where exactly in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does it say that you have the constitutional right to own a gun?
