Canadians will no longer be able to purchase, trade or sell handguns.
What will happen to our competitive Olympic Team?

The new legislation is not a knee jerk reaction to the recent Texas tragedy, the Liberal party has had this in the works for months and quite possibly chose not to introduce the controversial bill prior to the last election for fear of losing votes from savvy Canadians.
Every adult Canadian knows that criminals have a steady supply of handguns smuggled in from the U.S.
Former Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair, now a Liberal minister stated so before the last election.
"New gun control legislation the federal government tabled Monday includes a national freeze on the purchase, sale, importation and transfer of handguns in Canada."
"They include taking away firearms licenses from those involved in domestic violence or criminal harassment, increasing criminal penalties for smuggling and trafficking of firearms, and a "red flag" law which would require people deemed a threat to themselves or others to turn in their firearms to law enforcement."
It is sad and regrettable that so many Canadians, Liberals, Conservatives, New Democrats, Greens et al believe the political diatribe Trudeau enlists for your support.
The Public Safety Minister twisting reality, pulling at the nation's heart-strings creating a vision of Big Brother, the Protectorate.
Mendicino said at the news conference. "It's a battle which has claimed too many lives, leaving empty chairs at the dinner table, and empty desks in our classrooms."
The following section is a massive Red Flag for me. A prudent Canadian would agree that this inclusion is mandatory. The irony is that the following is already the policy.
Police across the country routinely confiscate firearms from those who pose a threat to society.
"They include taking away firearms licenses from those involved in domestic violence or criminal harassment, increasing criminal penalties for smuggling and trafficking of firearms, and a "red flag" law which would require people deemed a threat to themselves or others to turn in their firearms to law enforcement."

WILL THIS LEGISLATION AND ITS ATTEMPT AT MANIPULATING REALITY MOVE MODERATE VOTERS TO CHOOSE THE CONSERVATIVES?
Canadian firearms laws are already strict. A firearms license is not easy to acquire and a separate one is needed for a handgun. Former Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair said the vast majority of firearms used to commit crimes are smuggled in through Windsor and other ports.
Trudeau doesn't need to pander to Liberal voters as he has a mandate until 2025.
What is his purpose?
