However, myself and my friends, who also own lawful firearms owners, are directly affected by these measures. We’re target shooters and deep-wood camping enthusiasts, we can attest that these bans were to insight fear into the many Canadians who never seen nor held a firearm. The firearms banned are not assault rifles, assault rifles have been banned in Canada since the 80’s, these are assault style rifles entirely on design and not function.
In a society, freedom ends where the safety of others are threatened
Yet the government’s focus is entirely in the wrong direction, these bans & confiscations won’t stop the illegal gun flow into Canada, people who intend to break the law don’t care how many laws they break to achieve their goal.
