The Liberal government is moving ahead with efforts to keep assault-style firearms out of the hands of Canadians, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Monday. LeBlanc, who assumed the portfolio over the summer, told a Senate committee the government will enact regulations to complement gun-control legislation being studied by members of the upper chamber. The government bill includes a ban on assault-style firearms that would apply once the legislation comes into force. LeBlanc said planned regulatory changes will ensure a mandatory physical inspection by the RCMP of all new firearm models before they enter the Canadian market. However, people can still buy many such guns currently for sale in Canada. LeBlanc reaffirmed federal plans to re-establish the Canadian Firearms Advisory Committee to independently review the classification of existing models that fall under the prospective new definition of a prohibited firearm in the bill. He said the exercise would identify guns legitimately used for hunting, which would be excluded from the ban. LeBlanc said the government would also implement a long-planned buyback of some 1,500 firearm models and variants banned through order-in-council in May 2020.

They’ll call for a ban on TikTok and enact violence upon students protesting Israel on college campuses. This is America at its heart and it’s sick.

Tennessee’s descent into far right extremism probably began gradually a while ago but didn’t get much notice until the late 2010s.

And it wasn’t until 2023 that things became so hideous that the state began to attract worldwide attention.

Any sane person or business thinking of relocating there is probably having second thoughts.

Good luck. You’re missing a very important fact. Even if you ban the sale and manufacture of certain types and brands of rifles, a la the “laundry list” laws of the eighties, it won’t make a difference. You can’t confiscate enough to make America “safe” or “gun-free”. There are enough semi-automatic rifles out there to arm several million people if they each have only one. And many gun fuckers have multiple examples, with plenty of ammunition. The only hope we have is the more intelligent firearms owners getting tired of idiots making them look bad and deciding to clean up their act. Because most firearms owners are not violent and intent on murder. They are not heartless. They have just been given very few options. Some of them believe that the time is coming when the Shit Hits the Fan. There is no such thing as “civilian society” when cops murder with impunity and stand by while active shooters rage. There is no “civilian society” when a deposed president inspires insurrection and suggests that the next civil war might occur real soon. Unarmed citizens are not civilians just because you think firearms are “weapons of war”. When the next insurrection occurs you might be happy that some liberals own rifles. Because your “thoughts and prayers” that “assault weapons” will stop making your life difficult if enough people clap their hands is a fantasy. And stop babbling about “common sense gun laws”. If common sense actually existed, then nobody would be allowed to purchase a firearm without undergoing at least a basic firearm safety course. But it doesn’t.

People on the internet are so fucking stupid. Telling me how I should feel, how I should act when I am still processing the fact that my town got shot up and 18 people didn't survive. You do not get to tell me how to feel or how I should react to this situation. Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you and your guns and your stupid opinions FUCK YOU.

I'm sorry but this is literally nothing. The same handful of policies Democrats have claimed to care about and done literally nothing about at all for the past few decades, including the current Biden Harris administration. And absolutely nothing regarding the most pressing matters that are impacting the most Americans. She is aiming to be more violent than Trump on basic human rights issues and already has participated in active genocide with the promise to carry out more. Scariest part of Democrats is there is no more pretending any of their politics is aiming to help people anymore and yall are going full mask off about your total and complete disregard for human life. You really said the lives of hundred of thousands of Palestinians, more kids in cages, and a more violent and terroristic police force, the continued exasperating of climate change resulting in the death and displacement of millions, etc etc is worth another 4 years of empty lies so I can play pretend in la la land. Get help fr youre not mentally well
