"By opposing the (#AssaultWeapon) #buyback, both @WabKinew & @ScottGillingham ignore a fundamental truth about #GunControl in this country: if you want to control the kinds of guns being used by criminals, you have to limit the kinds of guns you are allowing law-abiding owners to possess because far too many of those weapons end up in the hands of criminals. Every year, roughly 3,000 firearms are stolen in 🇨🇦 and many eventually, and perhaps not surprisingly, become involved in crimes."

@Polysesouvient Nothing you have done lobbying the #Liberal government to do the last 30+yrs has done anything to #PublicSafety stats #Canada proves that & it’s already been billions of our tax dollars not millions & you know this Please define #AssaultWeapon #PolyScams #LiberalsMustGo
Public Safety Minister @gary_srp Anandasangaree says federal gv’s (#AssaultWeapon) buyback program will be rolled out across 🇨🇦Canada: “I will be showing our next steps on the program as we roll out throughout the country." https://t.co/DyxaCLt9ZA @bensteven_s
The @liberal_party gvt will begin its long-awaited #AssaultWeapon #buyback program for individuals next month with a pilot project based in Cape Breton, NS. Officials said that on Oct 1st, an online portal will allow owners to declare their interest in participating in the program. If accepted they will be given an appointment with the Regional Police Service to arrange collection https://t.co/mpwO33FcyQ @canparlnews
Public Safety Minister @gary_srp says his gvt is not ready to announce when & for how long its gun amnesty program related to #AssaultWeapon ban will be extended, six weeks before current extension is set to expire @CBCNews https://t.co/3PJT2STQ26
@libsoftiktok Maybe. What has that to do with the fact (!), that someone sold him # an #AssaultWeapon, a #Pumpgun and #Ammunition?
Noteworthy in this long article on the federal #AssaultWeapon buyback program is the failure of hunting/pro-gun groups to point to an actual hunting gun model that was prohibited. #CSAAA cites two models: the "Weatherby Mark V 460" & the "Ruger No 1" (like #CCFR repeatedly did in the past). What these #GunLobby groups are doing is conflating ALL versions of a model - when in fact ONLY those versions that produce 10,000 joules of muzzle energy are prohibited (= can penetrate military vehicles & structures). Once again, @rcmpgrcpolice has to explain that models come in several calibres, with military-grade ones prohibited, and the rest (hunting grade) remaining legal. If gun owners are confused, it's the fault of the #GunLobby & their ongoing #FearMongering & #disinformation campaigns https://t.co/CUuK0RC5Ws @joeldryden
Last week, the Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to Maryland’s AR-15 ban, leaving CA’s assault weapons ban intact for now. What does this mean for CA gun owners? #2A #GunRights #snopes #miller #assaultweapon #SCOTUS #Bianchi #AW

What’s another word for “assault weapon”? Michael Schwartz says it plain and simple—it’s just a gun.
They use the term “assault weapon” because “gun ban” doesn’t sit well with people. Let’s call it what it is.

#GunLobby warning that any business involved in #AssaultWeapon buyback program "won't be in business very long". Why not Tracey? What are you planning for those legitimately working to help fulfill #mandate of a #democratically elected @liberal_party government? @MarkJCarney
Just a side note, any business helping the Liberals with a gun confiscation program, won’t likely be in business very long …
Conservatives quietly include repeal of #AssaultWeapon ban in their Spending Changes table while @PierrePoilievre goes around talking about ending "the hunting rifle ban." Won't admit that it's military-style weapons like #AR15 that he'll make legal again #Elections2025 https://t.co/eToPb1R0OJ
BREAKING NEWS: Federal Court of Appeal DISMISSES #CCFR-led appeals against previous ruling upholding #AssaultWeapon prohibitions ... "with costs"
Leading judge does NOT seem happy
"To the extent that the arguments made before us are merely a reiteration (albeit in a different form) of the submissions made below, there will be no need to add much (if anything) to the answers given by the Federal Court"
"the appellants fell way short of their burden to show" ... arguments that "can be quickly disposed of" ... "misses the mark" ... "without merit"
"Surely, the inherent danger that some firearms pose to public safety because of their lethality and their ability to injure or kill a large number of people in a short period of time, the fact that they have been used in mass shootings in Canada and abroad, the fact that they are disproportionate for civilian use, and the increasing demand for measures to address gun violence are all valid considerations in determining whether their use is reasonable for hunting and sporting purposes."

.@liberal_party Leader @MarkJCarney says he will reinvigorate the (#AssaultWeapon) buyback program the federal gov has failed to launch for several years as part of his plan to crack down on organized crime &strengthen #GunControl in 🇨🇦 https://t.co/XJ2jD4v3JF @nojoudalmallees
City council report recommends @cityofwinnipeg sign onto federal #AssaultWeapon buyback program. If councillors approve report, federal gvt will provide @wpgpolice $3.4 million+ to collect, transport, & store guns until they're destroyed https://t.co/P4QDkBqkMI @the_dmckendrick
Anyone who refers to a semiautomatic rifle as an "assault weapon" is too stupid to be allowed to take part in any discussion about guns.

🇺🇸National Rifle Association calls #ban on 324 #AssaultWeapon models "desperate, performative posturing," quotes Conservative @RaquelDancho claiming prohibitions "attack lawful & vetted hunters" (#disinfo). Congrats @CPC_HQ for being on same side as #NRA!

Here's why #GunLobby claims 2020 & recent #AssaultWeapon prohibitions target hunting guns: to them, ALL firearms are "hunting firearms"
@kwquinn @droid1963 @DustinDictators @DLeBlancNB Obviously. The answer, of course, is that all firearms are designed to do one thing - send a projectile towards a target determined by who wields the firearm. Therefore, any firearm is a hunting firearm.
Curious to see how @NDP will react to such an announcement, as @theJagmeetSingh swore up and down in 2003 that his party supports a #ban on #AssaultWeapon...
Senior gvt officials told @RadioCanadaInfo Public Safety Minister @DLeBlancNB and Public Services & Procurement Minister @jyduclos will make an announcement this afternoon er "adding several hundred models and variants to its list of banned weapons" https://t.co/wdKyBKcgy2 @ICILouisBlouin
