UPDATE: Liberal Government’s “Sweeping Gun Ban” to Ban AR-15 Rifles

OSHAWA - M.P. Tony Clement’s question about a possible gun ban by Order in Council, combined with Minister Bill Blair’s subsequent non-answer, sparked a firestorm of speculation yesterday.


Today, two separate, unconnected government sources, one of whom who has direct knowledge of the plan, confirm the Liberal government’s proposed “sweeping gun ban” will include the AR-15 target rifle.


We have no information if any other firearms will be included.


Coincidentally, in response to a question from TheGunBlog.ca, the RCMP revealed Canadians own 66,262 AR-15 rifles.i


In 2016, the RCMP reported 84,288 “registered AR-15 type rifles and variants” in response to an Access to Information Request filed by firearm researcher Dennis Young.ii


Given a low estimate $1500 per firearm, such a buyback would cost $126 million to the taxpayers of Canada. There has only beenONE(stolen) AR-15 used in the commission of a crime (2004) in Canada.

Will current owners of AR-15 rifles be permitted to keep their lawfully owned property under the delayed confiscation system known as “Grandfathering”?


We don’t know, but it appears likely, based upon Bill C-71’s proposed firearm classifications 12(11) and 12(14).


Will current owners of AR-15 rifles be permitted to take their guns to the shooting range for target practice and shooting competitions?


Again, we don’t know but it appears likely, based upon Bill C-71’s proposed firearm classifications 12(11) and 12(14).


The official announcement is speculated to take place at the Women Deliver Conference in Vancouver June 3-6, hosted by the Prime Minister’s wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau.


The civilian AR-15 is the most produced sporting rifle in the world and the standard “patrol carbine” used by almost all Canadian police services to save lives. In Canada, civilian AR-15 magazines are limited to five shots and may be discharged only on a legitimate shooting range


We will continue to provide you with the latest on this developing issue as we learn more. For now, all we know from two high-ranking officials is the AR-15 rifle, will be included in the government’s “sweeping gun ban

Deny,deny,deny.......BULL. It appears there was a plan in effect to do exactly what Clement said the Liberals intended to do,but,because the whistle was blown before they had all their ducks in a row,like cockroaches that scatter when lights are turned on,they've had to back track,deflect and obfuscate...............as usual. That Liberal Party gang of lefty whack job misfits can't even get THAT right. They gotta go,the whole damn useless bunch of them.

I agree (post 143)....BUT another probability is that the leak to Clement was staged to 'test the waters' on how strong a backlash there would be. If it's a big yawn with the media and voters, then they may go ahead with it, but if it looks damaging to the Liberals fortunes they will pull the plug on the idea. They are too far behind in the polls to chance losing more support.

Then again, if they choose to ban all Semi auto and handguns with no need to go through the house or senate then he can have them all taken away and destroyed before he loses the election, if he thinks he has already lost it then maybe this can be his stamp on the parts of Canada that he does not like.

Like a spoiled child, he does the OIC and he leaves office. He is out of a job anyways, and will never really be hurt by his spiteful actions.

Spoiled to the core.

And this only began around 1994 under Chretien. Many guns have been taken away over the years. Back in the 1980's you could target shoot with your pistols on your property or in a old pit. So yeah we were right.

I guess your happy because they didn't take any of your guns.

They will never find them all before October.

[greatwhite]

I don't own any guns got rid of them all.

NEVER signed up for the first registry and will not for the new back door one.

[Fox]

They will never find them all before October.

Registered ones will be a lot easier, unless they are all "stolen", but then good luck claiming them as not stolen if the law is reversed.

[greatwhite]

Any gun owner on here voting Liberal is voting to ban guns for future generations.
