My buddy there is only allowed to go to the range and back, he can get away with stopping for fuel, but nothing else. Going to get interesting up north, maybe. I have been reading that there has been pushback at the prime minister level for the "assault rifle" confiscation/buyback.

Trudeau's security team should set an example and give up their handguns. If I were an ammo or firearm manufacturer, I would halt all sales to the government to set another example.

Yep. It is a true shame that all manufacturers don't have enough of a spine to follow Barrett's lead and refuse to sell to or service the firearms of any municipality that infringes on their citizens.

Handguns are the weapon of choice in most firearm-related crimes
Huh? I thought it was assault weapons since Trudeau banned those first. I'm confused. :roll:
