Ya it's weird the illegal gun owner's will continue to ignore those bylaws as well. I really don't understand the liberals war on legal

Guns being regulated at the federal level is part of the reason Canada's gun laws are so much better than the US where it's regulated by county. So at least the ban doesn't break that.

It's already a felony to illegally possess a firearm. So banning legally acquired ones is effectively putting legal gun owners in the crosshairs of the law, punishing lawful behavior.

😢

Funding border patrol and cargo inspection is going to be infinitely more effective.

Although the real reason we have a war on legal gun owners is realistically it's impossible to curb the flow of illegal firearms and by going arfter legal ownership, the liberals appear to be doing something to stop the violence. It's performative, they also know most liberal voters aren't gun owners.

They can ignore those bylaws, sure. But giving the police more tools and means to curb those illegal guns coming in is a good thing no?

Ya it is but banning handguns isn't giving the police more tools...
