Trying to extend beyond what I did what I posted on 2021-05-19 and get to the general crux of gun control and various acts. The Canadian Firearms Act is a lot of horrendous needless bureaucratic BS, designed to intimidate people from getting a weapon.
The Criminal Law literally defines a restricted weapon that is “not a prohibited hand gun or firearm.” Funny I thought the prohibition was a restriction, and that hand gun was a firearm.
Now Trudeau is jumping on the AR-15 thing and he likely hasn’t seen one before, it’s a safe Rifle, and safety isn’t even the issue. Capitalism has made weapons safer and safer since the dangerous Blunderbuss, a very dangerous arm canon by a Dutchman going way back, it had a habit of exploding on it’s owners.
“Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!” — Patrick Henry, March 23rd 1775.
Safety, security these are nonsense words, presuming no one will be climbing a mountain, falling and one day whining the Government fix their leg one day. Or no one will trip and crack their head on a Government made and unkept road or sidewalk. No one will slip in shower. All because the AR-15, that “demon,” is banned!
The over all issue we for the guns about, very few are used for violence, and rarely legally obtained for use in aggression (attack).
In fact this “assault weapon term,” attached to 1500 defense tools The Not Honorable PM, Justin Trudeau wants banned aren’t built for assaults. These, as I said before, are tools of defense, and assault is an attack (you move first or use Government authority to fire it).
It’s no surprising he views them as assault weapons given his delight in using state authority in wars to kill people with them, to him it’s only a means of attack, in fact if anything, the Gun Control, should be on Government. Hell, the controls period should be on Government and their agents, employees, and what ever else they call someone placed on duty.
If you look a Electric Chairs to Wars to Postal Employees, the Government and their on duty staff have killed in access of any mass murderer. Likely all of the mass murderers, in private life, put together.
The whole premise is a presumption of guilt. That a non-state or off duty individual will kill people because they have a gun or stab someone because they have a switch blade (button launched blade). The latter is also prohibited.
This presumption of guilt gets taken farther here in BC where our Firearms Act allows presumption of gun ownership by game wardens and police to search with warrants. This can effect a guy the cops just want to harass on the street to people who have avowed pro-arms stances, including ideologies that are Conservative, Libertarian, or even a Sharon Gregson Socialist.
One presumption and your in stop-and-frisk or a full house search. “Where’s your warrant,” you ask, they say “We are looking for a gun, we don’t need one.”
