Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre dodged questions Sunday about whether he would repeal the federal government’s handgun ban, a measure brought in to tamp down on the diversion of legal firearms into the hands of bad actors.
Poilievre hasn’t said much during this campaign about what he would do with the Liberal firearms legislation he voted against while in Parliament, but he has blasted the last government’s “assault-style” firearm buyback program as a “gun grab” that he would scrap.
Gun control advocates say any legislation to curb the flow of firearms is a worthy measure to try and reduce incidents of crime and violence. Firearms rights advocates meanwhile say the Liberal suite of policies only punish lawful gun owners who play by the rules.
If one isn’t afraid of being shot they have never been shot at and can thank strict gun policy for that.
I’d like to see some of these people who aren’t “afraid of getting shot” and put that to the test! I suspect we’ll all learn something after the first attempt.
We can get a professional marksman and that bullet proof cup from super troopers. See who is brave. haha
