Trudeau Proposes Law Banning Handgun Sales In Canada

Fresh off his disturbingly authoritarian response to trucker protests
against Covid-19 vaccine mandates, Canadian prime minister Justin
Trudeau turned the dystopia dial all to way to 11 on Monday,
introducing legislation that would completely freeze the import,
purchase or sale of handguns, while compelling compensated forfeitures
of "assault weapons."

On the same day President Biden declared there's "no rational basis"
for 9mm ammunition in the context of self-defense, Trudeau said:

    "Other than using firearms for sport shooting and hunting, there
is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday
lives."

Flanked by families of shooting victims and a group of officials that
included Canada's "Minister of Women and Gender Equality and Youth,"
Trudeau declared, "It will be illegal to buy, sell, transfer or import
handguns anywhere in Canada."

In 2020, Canada similarly banned the sale of more than 1,500 models of
so-called "assault weapons." Owners were allowed to keep existing
rifles provided they had a permit; others were given a two-year
amnesty period in which to turn them in.

While the government estimated that 105,000 weapons were affected by
the policy, Canadians had turned in just 160 of them through December
9, 2021. To this point, no compensation has been provided.

Now, under proposed law, most owners of covered rifles will be
required to surrender them to the government, via a mandatory buyback
program set to begin by the end of 2022. It's unclear how much
compensation will be offered.

The proposed legislation would also require rifle and shotgun
magazines to be "permanently altered so they can never hold more than
five rounds." Canada would also ban the sale or transfer of so-called
"large capacity magazines"—which, under Canadian law, would be defined
as one that could hold just six rounds or more.

The proposal includes a new "red flag" law by which courts can order
individuals considered a danger to themselves or others to surrender
their firearms to police.

“We need only look south of the border to know that if we do not take
action, firmly and rapidly, it gets worse and worse and more difficult
to counter,” Trudeau told reporters.

Making his own comparison, Minister of Emergency Preparedness Bill
Blair said, "In Canada, gun ownership is a privilege, not a right.
This is a principle that differentiates ourselves from many other
countries in the world, notably our colleagues and friends to the
south."

The legislation is fully expected to be enacted this fall. Canada's
constitution has no equivalent to America's Second Amendment. For the
most part, Canadian law only allows handguns to be loaded or fired at
shooting ranges; they generally aren't allowed to be carried.

Canada's rapid descent down the slippery slope from banning the sale
of assault rifles to ordering the surrender of such rifles and
freezing handgun ownership should stand as a stark cautionary tale for
current and prospective American gun owners—and for Republican
legislators now under pressure to compromise with Democrats on assault
rifle bans or other purported "common sense" gun control measures.

On Sunday, Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger announced his
willingness to consider a ban on AR-15s. "Look, I have opposed a ban,
you know, fairly recently. I think I'm open to a ban now."
