Statistically speaking, Canadian gun owners who are fully licensed, and who buy their guns legally don't commit gun related crimes. It's the people who get their guns illegally who are commiting these crimes. So... how is banning the legal sale of guns gonna solve anything? This is stupid. He's punishing the people who aren't even apart of the problem, without fixing the supposed problem.

don't you love how they're using the word freeze instead of ban

Trudeau can lead from the front and have his security detail give up their handguns.

Please mr Trudeau tell me more about how criminals will follow these laws? Drugs are illegal tell me how that's going?

Only legal owners targeted. Zero gangsters will be effected.

The criminals are laughing.

This law ONLY effects lawful gun owners!

Useless. Criminals don't care what's illegal or banned. With smuggling and the ability to 3d print guns there is no law that Criminals can't circumvent.

What a liar. This ONLY targets licensed firearms owners

Trudeau: I’m creating jobs Also Trudeau: literally destroying entire industries

Oh geeze. Showing that GSG 22 with the “suppressor” it’s a $350 22 with a fake suppressor since ya know. A real suppressor is highly illegal in Canada but hell it sure looks scary on tv!!

Disarming law abiding citizens does not solve criminal firearm activities, it places law abiding citizens at the mercy of criminals. Where's the logic in that?

My wife bought a handgun for the first time because of Trudys threats. Hilarious that his gun grab has actually made MORE gunowners.

This guy will end up being the greatest gun salesperson in Canadian history. Most of which will go from legal to underground.

ban knives too ban baseball bats too ban sticks too

Putting criminals in jail that use a firearm in the commission of a crime might work too. The laws on the books are not enforced now, why will this be any different? Punishing the law-abiding and not the lawbreaker always makes people follow the law. Just a photo op. Violent crime will go up, just as it has elsewhere and politicians will double down and introduce more laws until criminals are free and the law-abiding are prisoners

It’s time for real men to stand up. Sorry but we use guns.

This country won't survive the next decade.

Shows a silencer... That right there is already illegal in Canada

How is this going to help? Claire Smith we ALL empathize with you. We ALL never want this to happen to our loved ones. But this does not help. Criminals getting very short sentences. Gangs carrying guns, when we know where they live. Criminals shooting and getting away with it. What does our government do, target the legal people and nothing to the criminals.

The trucker protest scared him. So now he's going for your guns. They already took your freedom of speech.

A history of gun control in Canada. • In 1913, you required us to have a permit to carry a handgun. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 1920, you required us to have a permit to possess any firearm, regardless of where it was stored. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 1932, you required us to provide a reason (only two were permissible) for having a handgun. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 1934, you required us to locally register our handguns. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 1938, you required us to renew our registration every five years. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 1951, you required us to centrally register our handguns. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 1969, you designed the classification system so certain firearms could be prohibited on a whim. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 1977, you prohibited automatic firearms. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 1979, you introduced screening and safety courses. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • By 1994, you required a photo and two references to apply for a Firearms Acquisition Certificate, imposed a mandatory 28 day waiting period, made safety courses mandatory, expanded the background check and screening, reclassified certain firearms, introduced regulations for storage, transportation, and use, and prohibited standard capacity magazines. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 1995, you introduced licensing to have and buy firearms, and to buy ammunition. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 1996, you required us to get your Authorization to Transport certain firearms, and authorizations to carry certain firearms in very limited conditions. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 1997, you regulated shooting clubs, shooting ranges, and gun shows. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 2001, licensing became mandatory. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 2003, you required all firearms to be registered. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 2015, you introduced firearms prohibitions for those convicted of domestic violence. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 2019, you passed C-71, which would pave the way for circumventing parliament, and to ignore the experts' analyses (law enforcement, firearms functional experts, community groups, etc.)which you claimed to base policies on, in any further restrictions. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 2020, you prohibited some 1500 models of firearms for absolutely no reason than political pandering and cowardice in addressing escalating violent crime. We complied. There was no discernible reduction in violent crime. • In 2021, you reduced judicial consequences for those illegally using their illegally acquired and already prohibited firearms. It didn't affect us, as it didn't apply to us, and violent crime rates continued to climb at an alarming rate. • In 2022, you banned the sale, purchase, and transfer of handguns. We complied. Violent crime rates continued to climb. • Also in 2022, you proposed this latest piece of absolutely useless, enormously costly, and completely counter-productive measure of prohibiting even hunting rifles and shotguns, even though the statistical significance of them or their owners being involved in violent crime registered at the extreme right of the decimal place. And yet violent crime continues to escalate. So, what compromises or concessions are we willing to make at this point in what has been over a hundred years of faulty logic, intentionally deceptive public messaging, malicious and misdirected prosecution, and bad faith negotiations, while completely ignoring the contributing factors and root causes of those most at risk of violent behavioural trajectories, AND increasing your leniency for those who actually commit horrifically violent crimes? Absolutely none.🤔

Notice how long it took for this to come out since the "assault weapon" ban? That's because he had to give his friends, backers, and groups he owes time to get their licenses so they could get all the handguns they need. His father did the same thing.

Maybe one day we can have a politician who isn’t just trying to make himself look good to news outlets

Hand guns should be allowed to possess in Canada...I firmly believe that if there was no police there would be no crime

I think the gun laws in Canada are pretty good the way they are and adding any more measures because of something that happened in a foreign country would equate to government overreach. Trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

This creates a great market for gangsters to make and sell weapons, Lol

Watching tyranny take root in Canada virtually unopposed is terrifying. What happens when Canadians find the limits of their tolerance is equally terrifying.

NOTE: This is the Day Canada's FREEDOM Died. Poor Canada. You Guy's Just Lost Your Freedom. RIP So sad.

I'm so glad I'm not in Canada, wrong on so many levels...

Canada needs a 2nd Amendment.

The Bill has an allowance for high level competative shooters...International Competitors, Olympians...etc. So how does one become an expert if they can not practice the sport??

Just curbing legal weapons. Not illegal weapons

I just been checking online and every single gun store is 99% sold out of all of their handguns and that is thousands of the handguns if anybody thinks that these rules will make any difference to gang Bangerz your complete fool because his other AR-15 ban really did anything actually nothing at all

How does this make sense so as a new owner you have no rights after you paid for Safety and training courses to do it the right way when they keep saying illegally obtained guys and gangs so why are you coming after people buying firearms from big box stores and are registered like please make it make sense. People driving cars kill people all the time I've never seen a ban on how much horsepower you can have.... And why even call it a freeze when by time you un freeze it you won't be able to own or buy or transfer one. Ways to run over our Rights as Canadians.

Shoulda just gone for the jugular and banned murder

Guns? less than 400 Canadians are killed by firearms every year. Average killed by police annually 38, average gun suicide 275, Domestic violence 25, Criminal violence less than 55, Accidental discharge less than 8. This is barely an issue at all. Auto accidents just under 4000, Alcohol abuse 8000, 924 work related deaths, Tobacco consumption is off the charts at over 45,000 deaths . Why is this even an issue?

Totalitarianism at its finest!

If they roll out buybacks, 3d print as many guns as you can cheaply and sell them to the gungrabbers. It worked here.

"people who are already using handguns safely are not targeted by this bill" except for their ability to buy and sell handguns which only affects (you could say targets) legal recreational handgun shooters.

If you own a handgun in Canada, your name already goes through a database search everyday(ish) . Only way a legal person can carry one is locked up with paperwork to a range. We have to get different paperwork to carry our locked "restricted" to a gunsmith... who would also be in said data base. Watch out because this is where we get disarmed or not.

I trust fully Licensed gun owners more then I trust RCMP/VPD/OPP ect

A hand gun freeze. Well some let the gun smugglers know would yaa. Lol. What a joke.

I donno why he is doing this when pierre poilevre is going to replace him soon and just reverse it

Absolutely ridiculous 🙄

And then they come for your freedoms. These people who strip people of freedom with the guise of saving lives are sick.

Canada has the exact same size of population as the State of California. California has way more deaths due to gun violence than Canada. The reason for that is California has way more gangs, Motorcycle Clubs, drug traffickers than that of Canada. Canada's problem isn't the law abiding gun owners nor the already strict heavy regulated gun laws that Canada already has in place for owning and using firearms but it's lax boarder control for gun and drug smugglers, gangs, Motorcycle Clubs, and the black market that's the problem that no government in Canada has yet to tackle.

Noticed that they use this will also to fund and allow wire tapping.....

So, if you guys are talking about ILLEGAL GUNS whay are then legal obeying citizens pnished???????

Just make them at home.

All we did is legislate out the ability for police to track hand guns.

Canada has gangs? I am just picturing a drive-by shooting where the shooter gets out and starts apologizing to everyone afterwards, lol.

If only they made crime illegal instead…. Trudeau, the answer to a question no one is asking.

Pass whatever laws you want, however many laws you want, ban everything guess what criminals will still get guns and commit crimes including murder. Only people who will truly suffer is law aging citizens who's rights are being stripped away almost daily.

If you gave EVERY submariner in ANY Navy a cordless drill and told them: "It's fine as long as you don't drill all the way through". You wouldn't find even a spot drill on the inside of any sub. Why?.....Because they all fully comprehend the consequences of their actions. Current gun laws do nothing to ensure people have a clue as to the risk/abstract danger and lethality of guns. Politicians are equally clueless....and as a result...they ensure that lethality is only in the hands of those who have no clue.

This was a horrible decsion on Trudeaus part. Canadas attitude on guns and self defense needs to change, its so outdated.

Wake up Canadians !

To be clear, they will not monitor and collect data on hand guns being sold. They will monitor and collect data on the persons who are engaged in buying and selling new handguns.

Band together fellow responsible gun owners! Report a break in where the thieves only took your handguns! Real shame about that. Timing suspicious? Nothing to do with the ban… maybe the illegal gun owners were concerned that there may be a shortage coming.

the money made from sneaking hand guns across from the US will be crazy

Too bad criminals don't follow laws. This is pointless...

what a disgrace

Canadians if you want any hope of ever having any say in Canada ever again buy as many guns as you possibly can including sniper rifles.

NRA/CCFR/CFA: “The gun does not commit the crime.” True. And rats don’t carry Black Death. Their fleas do. “So let’s put flea collars on the rats.” Said no one, ever.

How do you get to hell? Very simple: claim that you're innocent. How do you get to heaven? Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy. How to know if you're guilty or not? Simply: Compare your life to the Ten Commandments God gave you in the Bible. Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police. Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery. Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word. There are six more but let's just leave it at that. How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you? Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman. How many times a day do you do that? Do you use God's name as a cuss word? Would you do that with your own mother's name? If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty. God can justly punish you and send you to hell. Ask him for mercy. His name is Jesus. It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine. The fine is death. Ezekiel 18:20 - "The soul who sins shall die. That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy. Option A. You die for your own sins. Option B. Ask for mercy and accept that Jesus died on the cross for you.

Fifth Column and Gangsters are exempt from this Bill.

Friedman knows better. This has been in the pipeline for years. Long overdue.

You guys should look up the woman who stopped a mass shooting in West Virginia with her handgun. I'll post a link to the article in another comment and in case it gets deleted, I'll post the article here: Police say a woman's actions may have prevented a mass casualty event following an altercation about a man speeding through a neighborhood. "She did the right thing. I don't know if any other person would have done that," said Lt. Tony Hazelett with the Charleston Police Department. Charleston police said it all started when 37-year-old Dennis Butler was speeding up and down a parking lot inside the Vista View apartments. He was approached by people attending a graduation party and a birthday party, who asked him to slow down, as children were playing. Witnesses said Butler seemed agitated and left but returned to the complex shortly after, armed with an AR-15 style rifle, and started shooting at the crowd. Police said a woman pulled out her pistol, shooting and killing him. "This lady was carrying a lawful firearm," Hazelett said. "A law abiding citizen who stopped the threat of probably 20 or 30 people getting killed. She engaged the threat and stopped it. She didn't run from the threat, she engaged it. Preventing a mass casualty event here in Charleston." Police said Butler has an extensive criminal history. In 2016, he was accused of shooting and pistol whipping a 19-year-old woman, but those charges were dismissed because no witnesses testified at a pretrial hearing. Court records showed Butler had been convicted of two felonies in the past, so he should have not had a gun. Speaking about the woman, Hazelett said, "She's just a member of the community who was carrying her firearm lawfully, and instead of running from the threat, she engaged with the threat and saved several lives last night."

Legal firearm owners are not the problem. Never are, never will be. Focus on the cnc, 3D print, polymer and air soft converts that utilize uncontrolled firearm parts… the CC needs to redefine what a firearm constitutes as being, to include all components of a firearm… not just the frame-receiver and or serialized components. Smuggled and ghost guns are the real problem in Canada… and these types of handguns is where the focus needs to be.

Here we go folks! Justin is the reason people have so many guns.

Feet and fists kill 10 times more than firearms. However, our sanctimonious PM - who knows what is good for you - would never tell you that.

WE GOT TO GET THIS GUY OUT OF OFFICE ASAP !!!!!!!!!

Should the people of Canada be allowed to OWN - and CARRY - ANY type of firearm(s) they may wish?

Any chance you could spend a minute on the part about taking firearms away from people convicted of Domestic Violence? To me, that feels like the absolute best part of this! worth at least a couple minutes. 🙂👍 - DV incidents increased during the lockdowns, to an alarming extent. - history of DV is a *huge* red-flag, predictor of who will commit mass-shootings.

This is largely the manifestation of an overall anti gun sentiment that the Liberals believe is prevalent in Canadian society and they are taking advantage of that perception to appear to be doing something about gang violence and mass murder. Any one with an IQ over 10 doesn't really believe this foolishness will actually achieve anything constructive but this won't stop them from continuing with this destructive legislation. And the anti gun extremist groups they are teamed with couldn't care less about legal ownership because of their misguided and simplistic belief this will actually reduce gun violence. What WILL happen however are some of the unforeseen affects of this poorly thought out approach. Grey market and black markets will flourish over time as people refuse to have their handguns stolen upon their death and will transfer them to other licensed gun owners who at this point of frustration will choose to skirt the law. The result will be loss of control over these guns many of which may find their way into the black market. Foolish politicians forget what happened with Prohibition in the US !! The buyback program itself will likely have the same success rate as in New Zealand where only about 17 percent of people have turned in their firearms, the rest going underground. On the plus side, including hunting and sport shooting firearms in the mix will likely rile up a large constituency of gun owners who previously weren't involved and they will become more political in the future. Of course this could be a calculated move based on the principle of "two steps forward, one back" to retreat on the contenious issues to get the phoney "assault weapon ban" and handgun ban passed. Politics can be a devious and deceptive business and after years of practice this government has become a master at it !!

This will solve all the illegal gun related crime in this country! Right on Ottawa. Greetings from Western Canada where we all love you so much

Why don’t you put some more money to find these criminals instead of taking our guns away and do monthly checks on people to make sure they’re mentally fit or every three weeks don’t worry about people that have ADHD They’re more interested in safety like me we will responsibly handle guns

you people are so blind, what does freezing hand guns do for the public? put this time and effort into the criminals. then well see this people stop

People are making an emotional decision here instead of using logic

Liberals must go!

Cowards better not allow this

To the lady whos daughter was shot, im very sorry for that. But im willing to bet that the man/woman that pulled the trigger was not a legal or lawful gun owner. Please do not take your pain out on people that legally own firearms... We need to make penalties for firearm violations/murders/shootings tougher. If you can shoot somone, not in self defense, but planned or pre m editated, or even random just because of an argument while intoxicated say for example. As far as im concerned, 5 years in prison is obviously not enough to detour those kind of people. If your willing to go that far, and take a life of an innocent person, you should spend the rest of your life behind bars. There is no such thing as rehabilitating someone that could go that far even once.. Just my opinion as a legal/responsible firearm owner. And i wish you and your family the best

I own firearms firstly for the spurpose of home and self defense. The second reason is in defense of the inevitable take over of a tyrannical government.

He looks like such a creep when he talks.

Time to move to America

Why do regular folk need guns anyway? Maybe find another hobby. Like, water color painting.

Yeah give your guns to Ukraine 😢so they can defend themselves from a tyrannical government 😢

Yep, that's Trudeau for ya - all show, no results. The problem is gangs, illegal smuggling and the black market. So let's go after legal owners! It just looks good politically for those who don't know any better...

Welcome to Canada’s new black market.

Disgusting law

Do not forget to mention the Airsoft Ban that is included in Bill-21, I hope the provinces ignore this Liberal government "Gun Grab" - something Alberta is already mentioned that I cannot enforce this bill. Just going after legal gun owners again, for political gain.

dont vote liberal enough said

I am more scared now then ever I refuse to fishing downtown now I really don't feel safer

Does this affect antique firearms?

Who's that demon speaking down from his basement?

never trust anyone using the term "unpacking"

He's out right complete lying to you

Can you fit in any more interviews with gun shop owners blinded by money? Seems one sided.

Can you imagine wake up every day and realize you are Canadian?
