The twit can't even answer a simple question, stunned pause followed by a return to the script.
Kudos to Juila Wong and the CBC for embarrassing the pants off the great pretender

Absolutely no surprise at all, he is a jack pure and simple.

The "brain dead" are also screaming....."he's taking our rights away", "where's our freedom"?

Hmmm just like the Brain-Dead people screaming about abortion rights being taken away.

Except Abortion does kill every time it's done, yet millions of Canadians use firearms every day without anyone being killed.........

This is laughable. And millions of evangelical submissive female homemakers - who are home schooling - will have sex and choose to have a baby when they get pregnant. As opposed to the paltry amount that has abortions....

Here's a definition for you. A car is a means of transportation. A gun is a means of death.

More hyperbole. That paper I punch holes in has now died a thousand deaths.

Whereas the majority of vehicles do form a mode of transportation, of goods or people, however, similar to firearms, vehicles are a means of death. I know as I have placed many vehicle occupants in body bags. as well as news reports from around the world where a vehicle has been the method of choice to kill and maim people intentionally.

Look, we can have continual blather as to what is worse, suicide by gunshot or CO poisonings, terror by fire arms or vehicles, terror attacks by airliners or Sarin gas.

Try not to compare the continual slaughter of Americans by other Americans by gunshot to Canadian fire arm incidents.
Yes, it has happened here and will likely happen again, regardless of any firearm regulations. Just like the continual deaths of Canadians by drunk/impaired drivers.

For me, Canada had terrific firearm rules and regs, however it annoys me to no end when apparently panicky people want law abiding citizens to give up their hobby or sport because gang bangers are killing each other on the streets of major metropolitan areas. Their nerve electrical impulses are taking a detour to areas of hyperbole.

The handgun ban means two things. Firstly there will now be a growing black market in handguns and there will be no controls on them at all. They will be bought and traded just like with illegal drugs. Like cocaine and all the others drugs. The second is that if gangsters cannot get a handgun, they will use sawed of shotguns and rifles. More people will die. Many people survive being shot with a a handgun which uses a lower powered cartridge. I read somewhere the survival rate is 66%. With shotguns around 3%. Rifles are close to that. Taking away handguns from good people will not solve gun violence. Owning a gun does not make a person a killer. Same with owning a vehicle. We had the van attack in Toronto that killed ten people. Nobody blamed the ownership of the van. At any time, a driver can drive into a crowded sidewalk or people sitting at tables in front of coffee shops or restaurants. But this is extremely rare. That is because car drivers are not killers either. This whole attack on good citizens who own firearms is based on emotion, fear and revenge. It is barbaric.

Liberals opt for wedge politics over actual change

"The new legislation will be damaging to the Canadian economy and exacerbate the urban-rural divide in this country, all while failing to provide support for communities suffering the most from gun violence"

Well at least when gun crime keeps climbing and getting worse after then gun control, all these liberal lovers can keep your heads up high because you liberal supporting losers can take the blame and be as proud taking the blame for our country crime getting worse.
We will see how many of you go into hiding and finally shut your mouths as you and the liberals are to blame.
Congratulations, the criminal empire thanks you for making there lives easier.
That's why government love the majority of votes win everything, is because it's the majority of people are the idiots, it's the minority that actually know what really go's on in the world as we still have a brain and independent thought.
the government don't like people with brains.
We need to keep track of all these people to hold them accountable in the future.
Canada, "the new home of lying and stupidity."
look at Mexico, and every other countries where citizens have had their firearms band, poverty climbed rapidly. hmm I wonder why. I am going to become a politician, as it seems you don't have to answer to no one no matter how much you lie or become corrupted. I

I thought calling a genetically born male, a female was being inclusive to the left-wing people?
Or is it an insult? I can't tell with today's generation of gender-confused idiots on social media.

Sounds like you're the confused one. You can't even show respect to other people and blame them for your ineptitude and lack of understanding?

Classic right winger. Project more insecurities, please.

I didn't realize believing in basic biology, ie. only two genders, Man and Woman, and they cant change, was "projecting insecurities". I thought that was just following the science.

Show respect to who? The idiot PM? The Gender confused idiots on social media?
Respect is earned, not given out like participation ribbons.

Back to the topic,
I have a far far better understanding of Canada's Gun Control laws and regulations than the majority of Canadians.

Our previous laws prior to two years ago were working quite well. The only issue is a lack of enforcement due to a lack of resources and equipment. I read that our border police inspect less than 1% of all railcars coming from the USA directly into Canada. And that it has been noted to be a major method of smuggling drugs and weapons. That paired with minimal prosecution resources and only minor jail time received at the end of it all being back out in less than 2 years.

Right now the message to criminals is very clear. Crime Pays very very well.

That's like telling people we need to ban cars because people can drive over others. Somehow owning a gun is less important than a car.

Somehow a car serves a greater purpose that a firearm. Yet there is no definition defining this.

What is the purpose of a gun? Not to wound, maim, cause flesh wounds, bash somebody over the head. No it's to KILL. Either human or animal. A car takes you places, like work, vacation, visit friends and family, pick up groceries.

Here's a definition for you. A car is a means of transportation. A gun is a means of death.

A gun can and is also used for Sports shooting which is even part of the Winter Olympics. There are an estimated 1200+ licensed gun ranges and clubs in Canada with around 1.4 million members. No death happening here.

Whereas there are plenty of examples of a "Car" killing its occupants and innocent bystanders being used as a means of transportation.

The weird thing though is when a car kills a child or innocent bystander or even the driver and passengers, the car doesn't get banned from being used by other more responsible people, but the gun does? Last time I checked both a Car and a Gun need A human to do anything.

That's your definition... A gun can also be a Sunday hobby for a father and son, target practicing. A gun can be a tool for a farmer, forest scout or guide. A gun can also be a collection of antiques. A gun can also be a tool for a hunter.

You see a device that serves no purpose but to kill yet it isn't the device that carries out the actions.
