Three years after Trudeau's gun ban, nothing has changedIn the three years since his ban, Trudeau hasn't passed a single piece of gun control legislation or taken guns away from civilians.
It was three years ago that Justin Trudeau announced he was keeping Canadians safe by banning “military-grade assault weapons” for civilians. Strangely, three years after that promise, those guns he deemed too dangerous for civilian ownership are still sitting in the basements and gun safes of your neighbours.
We are no closer to the government launching the “buyback” they promised at the time, and that likely suits Trudeau.
He’s not interested in public safety; he’s interested in using guns as a political weapon to win elections.
That may sound harsh but consider the facts. Whenever the Trudeau Liberals are in trouble, whenever they want good headlines, gun control is one of the issues they return to.
They may make announcements, they make promises, they hold photo-ops, and they accomplish precious little.
On May 1, 2020, they banned the so-called “military-grade assault weapons” using an order-in-council (OIC) — a kind of executive order passed by cabinet — but it’s not backed up by legislation. That OIC was the subject of a court challenge last month that has a good chance of winning, even according to the government’s own lawyers.
