If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was actually taking steps to deal with gun violence in Canada then I would be one of the first people applauding him. Instead, the PM is claiming to deal with gun violence not by targeting the gang members and criminals committing it but instead by seizing guns owned by those who follow the law.
“Today, we are closing the market for military grade assault weapons in Canada,” Trudeau said.
I wish he knew what he was talking about but he clearly doesn’t. While I was training with “military grade assault weapons” and learning what they were in the summer of 1990, Trudeau was learning how to teach people how to snow board.
Just as when my grandfather was fighting Japan’s Imperial Army in the jungles of Burma, his father was riding around Montreal on a motorcycle wearing a German army uniform. The Trudeaus are not familiar with the military and they aren’t familiar with firearms.
Maybe that is why the PM and his entire cabinet team that joined him felt so easy about lying when it came to the motives for their actions on Friday.
“These weapons were designed for one purpose and one purpose only — to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time,” Trudeau said.
Actually, many of the 1,500 rifles that he is banning by way of cabinet order, not even legislation, were designed for hunting or other uses. The firearms Trudeau’s Liberals are banning are not as he claims “military grade.” That’s something he might know if any of the last few generations of his family had done anything for Canada’s armed forces.
In 2018, the last year for which details are available from Statistics Canada, there were 249 murders committed with firearms. That is out of a total of 651 homicides that year.
Of the murders committed with guns, 143 were committed with handguns, 56 were committed with rifles or shotguns, 20 were committed with fully illegal firearms and according to Stats Can, 30 were committed with an unknown type of firearm.
The Trudeau Liberals didn’t use 2018 statistics to make their argument though, even though those are the most recent government statistics available. They used 2017 as their most recent date because it was the high point for gun deaths, and compared it to 2013, the low point for gun deaths.
To say that they are playing with stats to make their case is an understatement. The Harper Conservatives did away with the Liberal long-gun registry in 2012 and gun violence didn’t rise in a serious way until 2016 with the rise of the fentanyl crisis.
No one was using shotguns to defend their fentanyl stash.
Yet there the Liberals were on Friday telling the whole country that all the ills of the country were due to these darned “military grade assault weapons.”
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland even tried to put a “feminist lens” on the issue of gun violence by linking every single episode of despicable violence against women to guns even though the overwhelming majority of cases have nothing to do with guns. Especially not licenced gun owners.
She also claimed, without evidence, that if people own these particular guns then, “women, queer and trans folk, Indigenous people and people of colour, women, girls, two-spirited people” will face violence or be assassinated.
What Freeland failed to note is that most gun-crime murders, like most murders period, are perpetrated against men.
Not a single argument the Trudeau Liberals put forward to support their new policies stands up to any scrutiny.
If their entire argument is that they don’t like civilians owning guns, even if they aren’t committing crimes, then they should say so.
That the mostly cowardly media questioning them wouldn’t raise a fuss on a single one of their lies speaks volumes about their own particular bias

The OIC is Canada's "Enabling Act"?
"The Enabling Act (German: Ermächtigungsgesetz) of 1933, formally titled Gesetz zur Behebung der
Not von Volk und Reich ("Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Reich"), was a law that gave
the German Cabinet—in effect, the Chancellor—the power to enact laws without the involvement of
the Reichstag, and to override fundamental aspects of the Weimar Constitution. The Enabling
Act gave Hitler plenary powers and followed on the heels of the Reichstag Fire Decree, which
had abolished most civil liberties and transferred state powers to the Reich government.
The combined effect of the two laws was to transform Hitler's government into a
legal dictatorship. "
