And he's still at it:

Canada's Trudeau announces ban on handgun sales, transfers, saying 'fewer guns means safer communities'

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday announced a freeze on handgun sales and transfers.

The handgun freeze, which went into effect Friday, outlaws sales, purchases and other transfers of handguns between individuals. Additionally, no foreign handguns may be brought into the country from abroad.

"Canadians have the right to feel safe in their homes, in their schools, and in their places of worship," Trudeau said in a statement on the freeze. "With handgun violence increasing across Canada, it is our duty to take urgent action to remove these deadly weapons from our communities. Today, we’re keeping more guns out of our communities, and keeping our kids safe."

The Prime Minister's Office released a document explaining Trudeau's thought process and the additional safety they hope to propagate via the handgun freeze.

"Fewer guns mean safer communities. That’s why the Government of Canada is implementing some of the strongest gun control measures in a generation," the office boasts on its website.

The statement continues, "Handguns are the weapon of choice in most firearm-related crimes, which is why limiting the number of handguns is a critical part of our plan to protect Canadians from gun violence."

Canadian officials cited handguns' outsized prominence in violent crime as the reason for the aggressive policies.

Justin just gave every conservative candidate for office in the United States a major boost, the leftists plan for here is unfolding up north.

It's worth noting that Trudeau's ban on sales is purely punitive. Owners have the value of their property reduced to zero, as they can never sell their property, and it will be seized when they die. If he actually believed that fewer guns in circulation was an issue and wanted to freeze the number where it is, he could have also allowed licensed individuals to trade handguns between themselves. It is always about punishing those that don't vote for you with the left.

And there it is in black and white. Nothing is ever enough.

They start with "assault weapons", semi-auto rifles, and full capacity magazines because they are supposedly so very deadly to citizens. Yet once they've done that they will calmly declare handguns as being the most dangerous because they are used most frequently in violent crime.

So, which is it? Which is the danger to citizens, the so-called assault weapon long guns, or ordinary handguns?

While no surprise here, this message needs to be taken to all those who support "common sense" gun control. Those with power want to take them all, and they do it incrementally.

Pretty certain, the most common tools used for violence/murder are hammers and kitchen knives…

remember he is actually Fidel Castro's son and he is simply doing what all good dictators do - disarm the population...

I seem to recall the UK having such a problem with such implements that they were/are still(?) charging people for possessing them; they even have public bins for turning in these evil weapons.

I have an idea- instead of targeting law abiding citizens, how about some kind of ban on criminal activity? You could even hire and train people to go out and look for people committing crimes and bring them to justice. You could have them wear a uniform of some kind for identification purposes so honest people could tell who they are and even help them out. Of course, you’d need some way of insuring these people wouldn’t be used as a tool against the same law abiding citizens that need them in the first place…

Agreed. Thank goodness our politicians are only concerned with common sense gun laws, not the disarmament of the entire civilian population. This should be a lesson for any gun owner who still clings to the false belief their particular firearm is somehow exempt from legislative restriction by the Marxist left. Sadly, I still hear sportsmen from time to time at my LGS who disparage AR-15 rifles since they are generally illegal for hunting in my state. Were it not for that pesky Constitution, I suspect most semi-automatic firearms would already be heavily restricted or banned in the US.

The majority of the brainwashed Canadians voted for this son of a bitch again, didn't they? And, I'm sure many many of them are gun owners, too.

It defies logic. I'm dumfounded by the number of sportsmen and persons of faith in my home state who support the current anti-gun/pro-infanticide candidate for Senate.

Unless Alberta is successful in telling that bastard son of Castro to fuck off, his snowsocialist bitch government will eventually feel froggy and confiscate what has now been grandfathered.

I am with 12131. One would think the majority of Canucks would be sick of this and do something to shed themselves of Trudeau and Co.

You get the government you deserve.

It would be something to see, if they tried that shit here. The word "unenforceable" comes to mind.

And BTW, yeah- Trudeau is the illegitimate son of Fidel Castro. Don't believe it? Think it's all just memes on the internet? Guess again.

Rather than politicians cracking down on law abiding citizens, perhaps it’s time for citizens to start cracking down on politicians.

In the last election Castreau won only because the other candidate was far worse.

It simply never ceases to amaze me how you can only get politicians from the lowest form of life anywhere.

No. He received 32.6% of the votes cast. The conservative party actually received more votes, but in Canada the election is determined by the number of ridings won. Each riding elects one member of parliament. The largest number of MPs from a single party form the government. In this case Trudeau won his second minority government which requires the support of other leftist parties to survive.
