I no longer agree with such laws.

In Canada you can get an AK 47 which takes even heavier ammo than the standard 7.56 Nato most AR15s are made for. Trudeau made a stupid call. The AR 15 bothers him?

You can do the same damage with a car or truck rampaging through a crowd. I agree with magazine limitations, bumpstocks, Drum magazines, etc., anything that turns the AR 15 towards an automatic military weapon. Otherwise it is a fine hunting rifle, and a great toy to have, shoot at the range, and own and play with.

The fact that crazies exist is not new. We can’t live by what crazies do or want to do, just like with terrorists. We kill them when they pop up.

North America has been a gun culture since day one. It just needs good management and controls.

Canada bans assault-style weapons after its worst ever mass murder

(CNN)Assault-style weapons are banned in Canada effective immediately, the country's prime minister said Friday.

The move comes less than two weeks after Canada's deadliest rampage in modern history, when a gunman in Nova Scotia killed 22 people after a 12-hour reign of terror.

"You don't need an AR-15 to bring down a deer," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at a news conference in Ottawa. "So, effective immediately, it is no longer permitted to buy, sell, transport, import or use military-grade assault weapons in this country."

Police said the gunman had several semi-automatic handguns and at least two semi-automatic rifles, one of which was described by witnesses as a military-style assault weapon.

"These weapons were designed for one purpose, and one purpose only, to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time. There is no use and no place for such weapons in Canada," Trudeau said.
