Well color me wrong.
I didn’t think there was going to be a push back in Canada about Trudeau’s assault weapons ban.
Here’s the Ontario Premier Doug Ford saying:
"You think gun violence is going to go down in Toronto? I don't believe gun violence is going to go down in Toronto based on taking guns off legal gun owners."

And here’s a Toronto lawyer writing an opinion piece for the CBC where he says:
“In short, the government is criminalizing some people's property [some but not all semi-automatic firearms] not because it will make anyone safer, but because it can – because it knows that the political benefits far outweigh any loss in popularity among people who were probably not inclined to vote Liberal in the first place.”

To me both articles seem sober and well-reasoned and I would hope they would cause Canadians to re-think their latest gun restrictions.
