Gun rights organizations have long warned against the incremental nature of gun control.
The theory—indeed, it occurs in practice, too—is that gun-ban advocates will work to pass the most “supportable” bill possible that isn’t, on the surface, devastating to the Second Amendment. The trick is that once they have that law on the books, it’s much easier to amend that law to make it into something more restrictive that never would have had the support to pass in the first place.
Gun bans are an excellent example, and Canada’s banned gun list is the best example of all. In recent days as the Justin Trudeau government comes to an end, Liberals added another 179 makes and models of firearms to the country’s banned “assault-style” firearms list.
According to a report at nationalpost.com, the list of newly prohibited firearms includes dozens of variations of the M1 carbine, a historic semi-automatic rifle that was widely deployed to U.S. soldiers during World War II. The change means that owners of any of the newly prohibited weapons cannot use, sell or loan them, nor can they be bought or imported.
Liberals say they targeted firearms that were semi-automatic models with sustained rapid-fire capability and large magazine capacity—aka, common semi-auto firearms with normal-capacity magazines. Current firearm laws already limit magazine capacity to five for nearly all semi-automatic rifles, and pistol magazine capacity is limited to 10.
The government also announced that it was extending the amnesty period—again—for owners of banned firearms until March 1, 2026. tThe government still hasn’t been able to set a date nor the details for the second phase of the restrictive program, nor has it announced how much compensation will be offered to owners of now-prohibited weapons.
“I myself have been frustrated that we couldn’t move faster on a program,” Associate Public Safety Minister Rachel Bendayan said. “The reality is we want to do it right. There are enormous complexities involved in getting a system set up to be able to compensate Canadians, but also protect their personal information.”
It seems ironic that the Canadian government would be willing to strip citizens of their right to bear arms but at least act like they are interested in protecting gun owners’ personal information. Alas, that’s what you get when you don’t have a Second Amendment to protect your right to keep and bear arms.
While the debate is ongoing about how serious President Donald Trump is about making Canada our 51st state, the latest gun-ban movements in the country are certainly cautionary and should remind us all that once a banned list is made, it’s easy to add more and more guns to that list. You can bet that groups like Everytown, Violence Policy Center, and Brady are well aware of that as they push for banning firearms not only federally but in states throughout the nation.
This is why you don’t let the camel stick his nose in the tent – or more appropriate to Kanukistan ” Every Avalanch starts with but a single Snowflake. “
Unicorn,
“Every avalanch…”
I’m gonna steal that one!
Thanks!
Canaduh is not America. Subjects not citizens. Like Australia,Britain & New Zealand. The new Canadian poobah worse is than Castro’s kid????
Canada is like Chicago. They have high hopes for their new leader. Then they realize it’s another awful person. So they replace them with someone that’s worse. Again.
I’m in Chicago and you’re absolutely correct!
What difference did all that make with the advance of gun control over the last century+? Aside from better ability to fight in court and for the few smart states repealing everything they can and passing laws against infringement/spying/everything else we are not different enough to matter with opposing expansion of government/corporate control of the population.
They aren’t subjects anymore as much as they are simply peasants or plebes.
“Canaduh is not America“
You are correct, in America you will die three years earlier than in Canada.
“Canadians live about three years longer and are healthier than Americans, and the lack of universal healthcare in the United States may be a factor, researchers said on Wednesday.
In a study published in BioMed Central’s journal Population Health Metrics they said Canadians can expect to live until 79.7 years of age, versus 77.2 years for Americans.
A healthy 19-year-old Canadian can expect to have 52 more years of perfect health versus 49.3 more years for Americans.“
And while approximately 40% of personal bankruptcies in the United States or due to medical bills, in Canada no one ever goes bankrupt because they needed medical care.
RFK Jr. fan?
As far as advice as to what groceries one should put in their piehole I am a fan of RFK.
“Canadians live about three years longer and are healthier than Americans…”
That is because they have better Fruit Loops.
It’s true!
Minor, I thought you were dead.
“Minor, I thought you were dead.”
It won’t be long now.
But hes been posting under other names.
Nope, always as Mi(y)n(n)e49(r).
Remain at ease, I’ll be in the area all evening.
liar.
You forget that you already admitted it in a previous post in another article comments before the site update.
“You forget that you already admitted it in a previous post in another article comments”
Bullshit. But that’s all you ever have, just bullshit and propaganda.
So you made the claim, the burden of proof is upon you, what name have I posted under and what specific comment?
“Remain at ease, I’ll be in the area all evening.”
and that’s what your child victims are worried about.
Canada no one ever goes bankrupt because they needed medical care.
Nope, they just die waiting in line for treatment.
Nobody moves to Canada for the Healthcare.
How odd, since according to our social security system, they are paying people over 112 years of age.
according to our social security system, they are paying people over 112 years of age.“
That is your claim, the burden of proof is upon you, provide source of citation to back up your words.
Its not my claim. Its been the news out of the Trump administration. There have been several press briefings on it, the left wing media didn’t report on it (or buried it deep in more biased left wing deception wording) but other sources did.
No, I’m not going to do your research for you ‘Mynnr49r’ (AKA Miner49er, AKA Missy12, AKA ‘Mi(y)n(n)e49(r)’ ). The information is available.
speaking of citations – you posting a copy-n-paste of ‘selective’ wording without the web link to the source, is not a ‘citation’. I’ve gone and looked at some of your stuff when you included titles, and find you to have been doing your usual cherry-picking deception.
“Its not my claim“
Yes, it is your claim, you made it in your comment above.
Of course you can’t substantiate your claim, it is empty propaganda as are most of President Muskrat’s claims.
No names, no charges, no indictments… It’s all just bullshit. Intentional propaganda in order to prep the way to steal your Social Security that you’ve paid it since you were a teenager.
Ask Elon… Dolt
Yet nobody moves there like they promised in any meaningful numbers whenever a politician they don’t like wins. Odd that almost like whatever myopic study you are trying to push as relevant really is meaningless.
“whatever myopic study you are trying to push“
Do you have actual evidence or citation that is at odds with the statistics I posted?
Or are are you just bloviating in lieu of a cogent reasonable response…
“Yet nobody moves there“
Many folks are moving to Canada, it’s a great place to live:
“Recent Growth:
Canada’s population has seen significant growth in recent years, reaching 40.8 million in 2023 and surpassing 41 million in the first quarter of 2024“
hope you’re next
Better to live free than die under the Mounties boot.
“die under the Mounties boot“
You are much more likely to have the police boot on your neck in the United States, as opposed to Canada:
“In a later analysis, Parent and Parent (2023) compared police shooting rates between Canada and the USA, finding that the police in Canada fatally shoot fewer people per capita than the police in the USA, with an estimate of approximately 15 fatal police shootings per year in Canada between 1990 and 2014.“
“in Canada no one ever goes bankrupt because they needed medical care.”
That’s because Canada is a ‘welfare state’ so common in socialists countries, and depends on the US for almost half of its economy that ends up supporting that welfare state medical system. Such always eventually collapses when the money shifts.
Its works as long as it’s some one else’s money paying for it, our tax payer money paying the outrages tariffs, up to 300% effective tarrifs in some cases, while Canada has enjoyed paying the U.S. very little comparatively. So let’s take that advantage away from them, balance it out some, and see how their welfare state ‘medical system’ works out.
“Its works as long as it’s some one else’s money”
You are so wrong, it’s beyond ludicrous.
“In 2024, the Canada’s general government gross debt-to-GDP ratio was 106%, compared to the United States at 121%. According to the IMF’s 2018 annual Article IV Mission to Canada, compared to all the G7 countries, including the United States, Canada’s “total government net debt-to-GDP ratio”, is the lowest.”
Better health care, three more years average life expectancy and the lowest debt/GDP of the G7.
Don’t be stupid, Trump would not want it as the 51st state if it had nothing for him to loot.
““In 2024, the Canada’s general government gross debt-to-GDP ratio was 106%, compared to the United States at 121%. According to the IMF’s 2018 annual Article IV Mission to Canada, compared to all the G7 countries, including the United States, Canada’s “total government net debt-to-GDP ratio”, is the lowest.””
which has absolutely zero to do with what I posted. There ya go again, ignoring context and grasping at straws by cherry picking.
Imagine thinking that a debt-to-GDP ratio of 106% is a good thing. We only very recently blew past 100%. It was a very bad thing! Having a lower ratio than the US is NOT something to brag about. The US spending is out of control.
I never said it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, just that Canada is outperforming all other G7 nations, including the United States, at debt/GDP ratio:
“According to the IMF’s 2018 annual Article IV Mission to Canada, compared to all the G7 countries, including the United States, Canada’s “total government net debt-to-GDP ratio”, is the lowest.”
“up to 300% effective tarrifs in some cases“
More propaganda lies:
“NewsNation) — President Donald Trump has said that Canada has tariffs in place at above 200% on dairy products imported from the United States. While this is accurate, it is a bit more complicated than that.
Canadians face stiffer rules for extended US stays
However, those Canadian tariffs on U.S. dairy imports apply only after the country hits a level of tariff-free sales. This is from a deal Trump negotiated in 2018 during his first term in office.
Is the United States close to exceeding the Canada dairy export quota?
According to the International Dairy Foods Association, the U.S. has never gotten close to exceeding the dairy quotas in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.“
That life expectancy figure is most likely attributable to violent crime in our larger Cities that are almost exclusively ran by Democrats.
“most likely attributable”
Have you any fax or citations to back up that claim, or is that just uninformed speculation?
Oh Minor Irratant, suddenly you’ve become research-challenged? I’ll help you out :
simply Google “Top 25 Most Dangerous Cities in The US” and take your pick of any of about, oh I don’t know, about a hundred different sources.
Go ahead, we’ll wait.
It has more to do with diet and lifestyle than healthcare.
Somehow you missed his point, he claimed:
“That life expectancy figure is most likely attributable to violent crime in our larger Cities“
The subject is the fact that Canada’s homicide rate is 1/3 that of the United States, Canada has big cities and immigrants, yet they have a homicide rate 1/3 that of the United States.
Their infant mortality rate is much lower than the United States as well.
Unhealthy mothers mean unhealthy babies. High blood pressure, infections, and diabetes in the mother are almost always a result of lifestyle choices. Then there’s the issue of smoking or substance use during pregnancy.
More babies die in the U.S. due to parents still placing babies on their stomachs to sleep. They’re also co-sleeping in unsafe ways. There is no excuse for that level of ignorance, but Joe Biden did end up in the White House, so…
There is also a difference in reporting that helps to exaggerate the gap.
You (regurgitating Democrat talking points) are implying that the U.S. isn’t spending enough on healthcare. Guess what? We spend more per capita than ANY OTHER COUNTRY! Instead of begging for more debt and more useless (actually harmful) government bureaucrats, let’s use our brains and tackle the problems of ignorance, lifestyle choices, and poison consumption (including food). MAHA
Canada will submit to the Empire.
Off topid response of the day. This has nothing to do with the article. Let’s stay focused….
rather die young and free than under a creeping tyranny which you wouldn’t know unless you were truly free. Besides those are statistics, which hold skepticism.. AND, yes there is an out called bankruptcy. Your out is waiting till your leg falls off or for MAID to talk with you. Nice alternatives.
They aren’t called Can nadians for nothing!
Looks like o’canada moved the Gun Control goalpost again this time to March 2026. A handful of sick ratbassturds assumed they could use the acts of criminals to dictate what the law-abiding can posses to defend themselves. Moving the goalpost again indicates their Gun Control rot is not going anywhere as smoothly as the ratbassturds expected.
Nah just giving more time for replacement migration from India and elsewhere to remove any numerical advantage in the central provinces that opposes gun control or the Covid restrictions. Just gotta get rid of those pesky white hicks in the rural regions to get their utopia as the city types and new Canadians are all for it. Should sound familiar if you keep up with current relevant events.
It seems Canada’s system of government creates a much safer environment for their citizens:
“Rate of homicide in Canada and the United States 2000-2023
This statistic shows the rate of homicides in Canada and the United States from 2000 to 2023. There were 6.3 homicides in the U.S. in 2022 and 2.27 homicides in Canada per 100,000 residents in 2022.“
ttps://www.statista.com/statistics/526539/canada-us-homicide-rate/#:~:text=Rate%20of%20homicide%20in%20Canada%20and%20the%20United%20States%202000%2D2023&text=This%20statistic%20shows%20the%20rate,per%20100%2C000%20residents%20in%202022.
Now do demographics, prosecutorial discretion, and culture.
Lol and I am sure they reported everything just like NY. You are welcome to move up there Miner I am sure they would love another pay pig to soak for tax money.
minor49iq, minors et al…You may be dumb enough to place your life in a Gun Control loving government however there are millions of defenseless people throughout History who were subjected to Gun Control and my money says they would call you a fool.
How the heck do Indian folk survive goin from a tropical climate to frozen tundra? I moved from cold to hot long ago and probably would not survive a return.
Public assistance and longer term nepotism. With that said it’s not that hard an adjustment compared with going from 1st world to 3rd world.
Can you imagine Justin Castro as a Senator?
…. can you imagine Kamala as a president?
Still getting over Joe Biden remaining a senator let alone being vice president after all of his nonsense.
And Miner as our village idiot (Soros owned).
Canada.
Not my bull, not my shute, not my rodeo.
With the number of illegals hopping the Canadian border from southeast Asia it is unfortunately our problem even before we get into the birthright tourists.
Safeupstate.
What does Canadian gun laws have to do with Asians crossing the border.
Are you saying Canadian gun laws prevent those border crossers from being armed?
You think only one crime at a time applies? Border has been getting active up my way especially with things warming up. Also it’s not like we don’t let Canadians overstay their visa for decades or anything.
They only have themselves to blame if they comply.
One of the many reasons Canada should be left to the Canadians. If the U.S. incorporated them, it would incorporate their bad bureaucracy and bad ideas.

Pop-Corn time, gonna be entertaining – the left wing heads are gonna explode and Miner49er will wail and cry at the thought of the criminals he so loves might not get away with it after all: BREAKING: Donald Trump Declares Biden’s Pardons To Be ‘VOID … AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT’
(from the article link – Trump post, in part, via X and Truth Social, ‘reiterating’ his statements to press on Air Force One): “The ‘Pardons that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime
… ”
“And indeed, this will be decided by the courts—as Trump indicated on Air Force One. Trump’s TruthSocial declaration has no legal effect. But it might be accompanied by orders from Trump to start prosecuting people covered by the pardons, especially Hunter Biden. Hunter would naturally claim that the pardon protected him and the prosecutors would claim that Joe Biden did not consent to it and, therefore, legally, no pardon was issued. We shall see how it shakes out, but if the facts show that any pardoned was signed by autopen without Biden’s knowledge or consent, they should be treated as void.”

Biden denied signing an E.O. before the autopen story even came out.
Biden insisted he didn’t sign executive order just weeks after doing so, Speaker Johnson reveals
https://nypost.com/2025/01/18/us-news/president-biden-insisted-he-didnt-sign-executive-order-just-weeks-after-doing-so-speaker-mike-johnson/
He didn’t know about it because he didn’t sign it, or he was too senile to know the difference. Either scenario is fraudulent. Dems were using Biden and lying about it. The media ran cover for them until it was time to throw him out with the trash. Pure evil.
Fraud vitiates every solemn act, meaning that any agreement or legal act that involves fraud is considered void and unenforceable. This principle applies to contracts, judgments, and other legal documents, as fraud undermines their validity.
There’s some information coming out about a ‘senior aide’ with access to the auto-pen – the aide made statements to others in the administration that the auto-pen was used to sign things because they thought Biden should sign them, even though Biden didn’t know about them.
That would not be a stretch at all to believe. Some of us assumed he would be a puppet from day one.
Is This the Aide Behind Biden’s Controversial Autopen Signings?

Will Biden’s Auto-Signature Really Void His Pardons?
Will President Biden’s use of an auto-pen invalidate all of his Presidential orders including all of his pardons? Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses this exact topic after going down a very deep rabbit hole. Research appears to show that the use of an auto pen signature, standing alone, should not invalidate an order. BUT, if it can be shown that the President did not participate in the decision making process, then we have ourselves a major problem.

You may not have noticed, the article above is about Canada.
Canadians everywhere are laughing at Donald Trump, and more importantly, they are taking their business to other countries:
“I’m a Canadian living in New Zealand. I’ve just cancelled a $3.5 million usd purchase that I was making for Milnor (American) industrial laundry equipment for my business. We are switching to Electrolux (Swedish) and Indemac (Italian) machines.
I know it’s not much in the grand scheme… but it’s something I can personally do to stand with my Canadian countrymen.
I find what Trump is doing, and how much support the American people is giving him, to be utterly disgraceful and disgusting.“
