I'm sure the NRA and all those trumpanzees will be soooooo triggered.
But congratulations to Canada on a very sensible piece of legislation.
And before any of our resident trumpanzees start snivelling the usual NRA bollocks....Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Friday that the government would immediately ban the use and trade of roughly 1,500 different kinds of assault-style weapons, including the AR-15 variant that has been used in many U.S. mass shootings, the Globe and Mail reports.
The move comes in response to a murder rampage in Nova Scotia that left 22 people dead.

May 1, 2020 – With the Trudeau government poised to ban some “assault style” weapons, it finds significant support for a change first promised by the Liberals in 2015.
The results of the latest public opinion survey from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute show an overwhelming majority – nearly four-in-five – support a complete prohibition on civilian possession of the types of weapons used in the Montreal Massacre in 1989, and most recently, the rampage of an assault weapon-carrying murderer who killed 22 people in Nova Scotia last month.
Significantly, two-thirds (65%) strongly support such a move, giving federal policy makers a clear mandate to go forward.
