Today, authoritarian Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, announced that “People can no longer buy, sell, or transfer handguns within Canada – and they cannot bring newly acquired handguns into the country.” He is calling it a “national freeze” that is effective starting now, even though the corresponding bill C-21 “continues to be debated in Parliament.”
Update: People can no longer buy, sell, or transfer handguns within Canada – and they cannot bring newly acquired handguns into the country.

“This is one of the strongest actions we’ve taken on gun violence in a generation,” asserts PM Justin Trudeau at a news conference in Surrey, B.C., as his government’s nationwide freeze on the sale, purchase, and transfer of handguns takes effect.#cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/yvQcesq4qP

In the official announcement, he says,
“Fewer guns mean safer communities. That’s why the Government of Canada is implementing some of the strongest gun control measures in a generation. 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.”
Trudeau says that fewer guns mean safer communities. Some might say that fewer guns mean more compliant and defenseless communities. Americans should be grateful every single day for the 2nd amendment which gives them the right to keep and bear arms. It is one of the greatest privileges we enjoy in this nation.

The Second doesn’t give squat. Get that thought out of your head, speech, and writing. Once you give into that nonsense, the right is no longer a right, it is a privilege given by Daddy Government and can be taken away by him.
The Second and most of the Bill of Rights merely reaffirms the Declaration –
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, …”
-and the severe limits on the federal government in the Constitution (largely ignored by Democrats, Republicans, and most everyone else except the staunches Conservatives, Constitutionalists, and Libertarians).
The Second enumerates or confirms the right, it doesn’t “give” it.
When will politicians learn that criminals are (by definition) people who do not obey laws? Why would making another law impede or change the behavior of someone who does not (by definition) obey laws?
It is becoming more and more obvious that their goal is not reducing crime but rather simply disarming the populace, so that the people are unable to defend themselves against tyranny. But those of here (except our lovely resident trolls, of course) have known this all along.
