Yes, any gun controls are likely to save some lives. I'm just saying that the scope for saving lives is much greater for handguns. In 2020, only about 3% of gun deaths in the US were listed as having been caused by the kinds of rifles often referred to as assault rifles. When it happens, it tends to be spectacular, since those weapons are especially appealing to the kinds of deranged souls who, when they break, go on horrific shooting rampages. But the vast majority of murders aren't like that. They're done in ones and two, either associated with a crime like the drug trade, or a personal issue with a specific person, and the guns of choice are handguns.
Canada bans handguns

It's a proposal to only freeze buying and selling. Basically, if you own a gun you can keep it (for now). The black market on selling guns to Canada just spiked!

Handguns: Canada proposes complete freeze on ownership
Remember when the Canadians allowed boozed to be smuggled into the US during Prohibition? Similar concept except in reverse.
Okay, Sybil, since both of you agree on it. LOLThat is how the Kennedy's made their money and bought their way into politics.

Are you gonna' cry?
Were you planning to go to Canada and carry your little pecker substitute with you?
It's Canada. They still have the Queen of England on their money...and don't have a right to firearms. LOL

Handguns: Canada proposes complete freeze on ownership
Unlike in the US, gun ownership is not enshrined in Canada's constitution, but firearms are still popular, especially in rural parts of the country.
Canada already has stricter rules on gun ownership than its southern neighbour and records fewer firearm incidents every year.
For example, all guns must be kept locked and unloaded and anyone wishing to buy a firearm must undergo extensive background checks.
But there have been calls in recent years to tighten gun legislation there even further, especially following a number of deadly shootings.
God Bless America and Free Enterprise!
The value of my handguns just went up...especially if I sell them in states near the border. LOL
He's not a very good reader. Notice that Sybil didn't include a link in the. That's the first indication he's lying via twisting the truth.
Same for zymurgy.
"Canada on Monday introduced legislation that would ban the sale, purchase, importation, or transfer of handguns in the country and would require most owners of “military-style assault weapons” to turn in their firearms to a government buyback program."
You are looking at this all wrong. NOW the unhinged, malcontent, alt lefties have a place to live. FREE healthcare, no taxes, and not one of those icky guns. It will be fucktard heaven.
America is going down just the same....technically we still have a chance to save the West but I dont think we have it in us....the people are too shit quality.
Certainly the Canadians dont.
Nearly 25 % of the Canadian population I'd French. They are experts at the art of surrender.
Ya, that might have something to do with it.
I was interested to hear Gad Saad say recently that he is looking for a way out of Canada, he sees no hope. Jordan Peterson is dismayed.

While I have great respect for our neighbors to the north, I'd have to say that they fucked up royally on this one.
Banning assault weapons is one thing. Banning handguns is an intrusion on personal rights, whether they exist legally or not.
They can license carrying, but what people want for their homes is their own fucking business.
It just goes to show you that conservative mutants don't have exclusivity on fucking idiots, and that upsets me a lot.

The black-market in handguns will be ripe along the Border States....of Canada. LOL
Ask yourself that question.
No, just King Trudeau's announcement. Canada is not King Trudeau.
Not sensible. The right of self defense is inherent.
