Trudeau’s Gun Grab – More US Reaction

Trudeau’s Gun Ban Would Have ‘No Chance’ Under U.S. Constitution: Expert

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new proposed gun restrictions have raised concerns that similar measures could be pushed in the U.S., but these types of reform would be barred under the U.S. Constitution, according to one expert.

The U.S. gun control debate was again pushed to the forefront last week following the mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead. Trudeau’s proposed measures, which would place a national ban on handgun sales if passed by the Canadian parliament, have drawn strong criticism from U.S. conservatives who worry that similar measures could be introduced in America.


Trudeau is blasted for handgun ban in wake of Texas massacre as critics say most crimes in Canada are committed with illegal weapons smuggled in from USA

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing backlash over his calls to implement a ‘national freeze’ on handgun ownership in his country in the wake of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

Critics claim his new proposed ban will do nothing to protect citizens as many guns ‘are already illegal’ and the ‘freeze’ doesn’t tackle the ‘root cause’ of the crime problem, which is gun smuggling.


On gun reform, neighboring Canada takes a different tack

The Canadian government’s swift push this week for tough new limits on firearms is adding fuel to the fierce debate over gun reform south of the border in the United States, where last week’s shooting massacre at a Texas elementary school has sparked Congress’s latest effort to curb endemic gun violence — and triggered new questions about why U.S. policymakers have been so ineffective at doing so.


“Dystopian future”: Republicans cry “communism” after Canada cracks down on guns after mass shooting

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday announced a new proposal cracking down on “military-style assault weapons” and handgun sales, triggering alarm among Republicans in the U.S. who have resisted any gun restrictions in the wake of deadly mass shootings.

Trudeau announced a mandatory buyback program targeting assault weapons and new regulations that will ban sales and imports of handguns. The legislation is expected to pass.
