Doug Ford takes aim at Trudeau government’s gun control measures

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Saturday that funds promised for a federal gun buyback program following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s announcement he would ban assault weapons in Canada could be “put to better use” on targeting gangs and the smuggling of firearms.
OTTAWA — Ontario Premier Doug Ford is taking aim at the federal government’s new gun control measures, saying he believes the feds should focus on smuggling of illegal weapons at the border and strengthening jail sentences for gun crimes rather than targeting legal gun owners.
On Friday, the Trudeau government outlawed a wide range of assault-style rifles, saying the guns were designed for the battlefield, not for hunting or sport shooting.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has also promised a buyback program for all legally purchased rifles that would fall under the new ban, with owners offered fair market prices for their guns — a program expected to cost up to $600 million.
Ford says he would rather see that money invested in beefing up border security to stop guns from being illegally smuggled into Canada at the borders.
He also says Ottawa’s priority should be strengthening bail conditions and jail sentences for criminals and gang members who commit gun crimes, rather than giving them a “slap on the wrist.”
Ford says he doesn’t believe gun violence will go down in Toronto by taking guns away from legal gun owners.

I totally support a ban on assault weapons in Canada. I think beefing up efforts to combat gun smuggling at the border is great. No mention of penalties in Mr.Socks announcement. I think possession of an assault firearm should be a ten year minimum twenty if used in connection with a crime. Why aren't the Hell's Angels and Mafia banned? We have banned pissants like Blood and Honour and Combat 18. HA and La Costra Nosa have killed hundreds of ppl over the years in Canada alone, various bombings.

You don't strip away the rights of Canadians because of the acts of CRIMINALS. You eliminate the criminal threat. NO MORE IMMIGRATION FROM JAMAICA OR AFRICA.
