From [HERE] Assault-style weapons are banned in Canada effective immediately, the country's prime minister said Friday. The ban will prevent selling, transport and import of around 1,500 models in a bid toward gun control in Canada. [MORE]

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." [but you might need one to protect yourself from heavily armed territorial gangsters who’s agents murder with impunity and immunity]

"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.

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.

However, Chief Superintendent Chris Leather stated that the alleged killer Gabriel Wortman had no possession and acquisition licence and his weapons were illegally purchased. Additionally, Wortman pled guilty to assault in 2002 and was sentenced to nine months of probation, in which he was prohibited from possessing weapons and ordered to undergo anger management counseling.

In other words, Canada’s new authoritarian law would not have prevented the mass shooting from occurring because it is targeted at the law abiding general public who 1) don’t have criminal records and 2) purchase guns lawfully. Such is the nature of authority and mind control = government. Although there is no 2nd Amendment in Canada the following from FUNKTIONARY is applicable

Second Amendment - (to the Constitution for the United States)—is only intended for a militia to enforce the First Amendment if and when deemed necessary. Every non-felon in the street has the guaranteed right to be packin' heat. Slave states (the overwhelming majority) are those that have criminalized openly carrying firearms. In the case of Silveira v. Lockver, Ninth Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski summed up the importance of the right to keep and bear arms: "The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed—where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once." The right to keep and bears arms actually serves as more than an insurance policy, it also serves as a deterrent. For when would-be tyrants know that the citizenry is well-armed, they think twice about imposing tyranny. (See: Gun Control & Militia)
