Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is either devilishly stupid, or devilishly underhanded. With Canada's Boy Wonder, sometimes the differences are difficult to discern.
The Canadian head-of-state's unilateral gun grab that bans 1,500 makes and models of modern sporting rifles under the guise of an "assault-style" firearm classification, swept up multiple other firearms. Some are certainly "military-grade" like the mortars, grenade launchers and rocket and missile launchers, which were already banned.
It also banned Ruger's Mini-14, commonly referred to as a "ranch rifle" that doesn't have any of the offensive cosmetic characteristics gun control groups get woozy over when they hear them described. That's why the prime minister echoed one of their favorite sound bites.
"You don't need an AR-15 to bring down a deer," Prime Minister Trudeau said during his gun grab announcement. .....
There are those within The United State's anti-gun groups who would just love to follow this route, seeing as many have even called for repeal of the Second Amendment. The Constitution and The Bill of Rights is the law of the land but tyranny lurks round every corner, and so complacency must never permit vigilance to relax over the protection of rights.
