Canada –-(Ammoland.com)- Today, a quality source with direct knowledge re-confirmed the Liberal government will attempt to ban the AR-15 rifle by Order in Council, bypassing parliamentary accountability. Apparently, Justin Trudeau will announce the ban at the “Women Deliver Conference” between June 3-6 in Vancouver.
It has been widely speculated New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will attend the conference to hear Justin Trudeau announce the AR-15 ban. However, her office, so far, has responded to our attendance confirmation requests with stony radio silence.
On Sunday, May 19, Minister Blair all but told CTV’s Evan Solomon the Liberal government would ban the AR-15 by Order in Council.
“I think there is no measure that I think we can rule out,” Blair said.
Trudeau, via Bill Blair, will now ban the world’s most popular sporting rifle so it can virtue-signal Canada is “doing something” about crime guns.
When news first surfaced, the Liberal government immediately denied any kind of gun ban was in the works. It appears Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government is, once again, lying through their teeth.
Let’s be clear. The only thing the Liberal government will accomplish with this blatant virtue signalling is to mobilize target shooters across Canada to work their butts off to defeat the Liberal Party in the upcoming federal election.
In the extreme short term, this impending Order in Council turns Minister William Blair into Canada’s AR-15 Salesman of the Year.
But time is running out fast.
You have until June 2nd to buy your very own AR-15 before the Liberal government makes it impossible for ordinary Canadians to own a beautiful .22 calibre, 5-shot, semi-automatic target rifle of their very own.
Yes, the AR-15 is classified as a Restricted firearm.
Yes, the AR-15 may only be fired at a government-approved shooting range.
Yes, you may have less than 10 days to purchase the world’s most popular sport shooting rifle. Do it now!

This is why Americans should vote against any intrusive gun control measures. Here in the United States drug overdoses kill 60,000 people a year. Why are we so worried about guns? They don’t kill nearly as many people.
Calagary, Alaberta: Some years ago when the kids were small. We spent the night there. Asked a Policeman where to eat. The section of the city we were in, he told us not to stop anywhere there. Crime was pretty bad. We stopped at a Burger King. Fast food was all we saw available. Visitors can not carry guns. The young man ho took our order, no drive through told us to eat in the car on the road. I feel sorry for the fine people we have met up there. In years to come a lot less tourism as… Read more »
Freedom once taken can only be regained at a great price.
I feel bad for our northern neighbors becoming less free even if a majority of them voted the tyrants into power.
Everyone who knows any sportspersons in Canada, should call, and encourage them to get an AR before it’s too late.
justa t**d-hole will do anything
This could be a good thing for gun rights in Canada. In the USA the AWB caused so many democrats to be unelected , it put the fear of God unto them and many republicans on gun control. The current PM is polling really low right now. So his crushing defeat is fairly likely , gun control or not. It will be easy to spin his defeat as a gun control defeat if he passes this measure.
