Trudeau announces 'assault-style' gun buyback program, municipal handgun ban | FULL

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government is launching the long-promised buyback program for what he has described as “assault” or “assault-style” firearms.

The buyback program is part of a suite of new gun control measures promised by the federal Liberals in the 2019 election campaign, and follows the announcement of an executive order last May that changed the classification listings to prohibit roughly 1,500 “assault-style” weapons.

“We’ve charted a plan of action,” he said, noting the buyback program will be finalized in the coming months and will prevent those weapons from being bequeathed or sold.

“You can’t fight gun violence or any violence on just one front.”

The legislation will also allow municipalities to ban handguns through bylaws restricting their possession, storage and transportation. The bill will also increase criminal penalties for gun smuggling and trafficking, and enhance the capacity of police and border officers to keep illegal firearms out of the country.

Lets not worry about getting people back to work, let’s go after law abiding gun owners.

This just turns regular people into criminals

[Polly_Ticks]

Boy oh boy I can just imagine the line-ups of people wanting to give their guns to the government for pennies on the dollar

[tevinmarchable]

So they want to buy back property that never belonged to them, with money that isn't theirs. They want to buy your guns with your tax dollars. This government needs to be relieved of its duties IMMEDIATELY!

[StirlingLighthouse]

Buy back....with tax payers dollars?
How is that a buyback.
These people are mentally lost.

[patricksharpe]

So what is a "assault weapon"? Unclear laws are unjust laws.

[rolotomassi]

So basically Castro will have access to assault weapons through the police and the military, but the proletariat will not.

Def dont worry about china using hotels as concentration camps or pla forces training in canada

[mattfrankman]

If you’re afraid of guns, take a PAL course. I used to think like these Liberals until I learned the facts myself.

Pretty telling when previously vetted phone questions still get danced around. Lovely grave dance as usual gang.

How is this a priority when we are in the middle of a pandemic and have the lowest vaccination rate of any G7 nation?

[Jasshands]

I’m so happy the criminals will follow these new rules

[mikedepaz]

A SAD DAY FOR PROFESSIONALS, HONOURABLE AND RESPONSIBLE OWNERS OF LICENSED FIREARMS!

[rogergerber]

Better ban cars too. And kitchen knives. And baseball bats. Wake up people

[loveworks]

so in the middle of a so called pandemic, spending billions more then we need or want to...Justin is sitting in the people's office wondering....hmmmm, how can I needless spend more taxpayers money? This guy needs to go badly. He has no clue what he's doing!

[kimmccullough]

I think we should be allowed to have an “assault gun” that is locked up.
The way the world is going, we need them for protection for our family and homes, in my opinion.

[ItIsGonnaGetWayWorse]

Maybe they should learn about a certain movement during a certain time in europe.

An unarmed populace is a populace that cant fight back.

It all starts by giving an inch.

[Panooch]

Why not have harsher penalties for Criminals who use illegal guns! Stop punishing law abiding citizens!

[mikehartwig]

Guy says "It will enable us to know where these firearms are, who has them, and what they have." at around 37:00 mark.

No, it will enable you to only know about law abiding citizens. Criminals don't report their guns or turn them in.
