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!

“When the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised … to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually ….” – George Mason at Virginia’s Ratifying Convention, 1788 (3 Elliot, Debates at 380)
Canada knows that game today, just as Great Britain did in the late 18th century.
You don’t have to look toward Canada for government over reach. CA, NY. NJ, MD, CT, IL, WA and others are already bad.

Throughout modern history, it seems the appeasers set the stage for the enslavement and destruction of the masses. If I cannot defend myself then I have no voice.
Did something happen in Canada to prompt this, or are the fascists just taking advantage of the tragedy in New Zealand?
No…not of late. But they have been a willingly victimized population & socialist for years now! People……have no rights but granted privileges there so zero sense of self reliance the government will look after all and everything…..very friggin sad. You have the right to life but no right to defend it…….yeah wrap,your head around that one. In the USA more and more have little understanding or appreciation plus want to dilute the “rights” they were born with ……. And actually use Canada as an example of progress!!! WTF people…..y’all need to pay larger bribes to get your kids into higher… Read more »
The mosque shooting in January 2017 and the New Zealand Christchurch shooting where the Quebec City shooters name was written on the gun that was used to slaughter 49 unarmed men, women and children all all the justification that any reasonable person needs…
The AR is very controlled in Canada, as the article said it can only be fired at a range. I believe that the Robinson XCR isn’t like that. So many Canadians buy it instead of an AR.
Looks like it’stime for canadians to band together and break those rules. 3 ways for the people to free themselves….
the Soap box, the ballot box and when those fail…the ammo box.
LGBT = LIBERTY, GUNS, BEER, TRUMP. nough said.
That’s okay I got my mini 14 works plenty well with the original 30 round mag
And that attitude is why incrementalism wins. “I got my X so they can take your Y”. Your Mini14 will be along at some point. And no one will stand to defend your rights at that point. First they came for the Assault weapons, and I did not speak out— Because I didn’t own one. Then they came for the high capacity magazines, and I did not speak out— Because I was a target shooter. Then they came for the semi autos , and I did not speak out— Because I was a hunter. Then they came for my shotgun… Read more »
I’ve lived in both countries and am a healthcare professional and I’d gladly be called a socialist if it means living in a society that provides much lower gun violence and universal healthcare to is people than the poverty and ignorance you think is freedom…
As a Canadian…..I DON’T agree with you at all. Our healthcare system sucks, especially if you like waiting for an MRI 6-8 months. Or dying in the emergency room. So you can take that universal healthcare and stick it.
I am currently waiting for a green card. And have traveled through all of the US, Canada and Europe. I will take the US anytime for freedom, prosperity and healthcare. You need to look after yourself, not have the government do it for you.
Matt you are nothing but an NDP socialist slime.
Just this morning a man attacked 19 people in Tokyo Japan with a knife when the police arrived he slit his own throat we must band all silver Sharp knives
As a refugee (yeah…you read this correctly) from this once proud country who fled to the USA almost 15 years it does not surprise me at all this is occurring ….none at all. The proud armed forces personnel who in the past fought and died for this country since its founding have been spinning in their graves for many many years as this country has been on the road of socialism and its own demise for years. The once proud Canuck have turned into pussies, with the exception of a minority of the population. They have been so brainwashed about… Read more »
Just think of what he could have done with the kinds of weapons most people on this website would advocate for… it might have been another Christchurch, Parkland, Las Vegas, Sutherland Springs, Quebec City, Pulse Night Club, Newtown, Fort Hood, Aurora Theatre, Columbine level fatality event…
I think as an American traveling to other countries the divisiveness of governments has gone to the tyrannical side it isn’t the people that given country are the problem it is the government’s who have the problem
I feel sorry for my brothers in Canada who have been riddled with laws for so many years .. I think is an American we start to see our governments become more and more corrupt as they seek to control their people he also seek to control the wealth and control the money of the country… it’s all one great control of its people around the world one of our Senators travel to that country before that shooting happened and I just can’t help but think their only goal is to destroy each country from within make it more like… Read more »
BC Bud long before the high potency pot was legal you could openly see it grown in mega greenhouses 200 yards from the United State border . I never get worked up by new firearm laws because ALL the new laws have a compliance rate of less than .0076% . So pass all the laws you want the people are far from being governable
Obama was our best gun salesman.
False. It was the NRA.
Nope not even close, Obama threatened to ban, restrict, take guns and gun sales started as soon as he blurted them out. What Happens After Calls for New Gun Restrictions? Sales Go Up.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/12/10/us/gun-sales-terrorism-obama-restrictions.html
Just like these clowns in Canada are doing, running their pie holes and blathering about bans, confiscations or turn ins and that’s why there’s again a run on anything AR15 related.
AR-15 Selling Out in Canada on Concern Trudeau to Ban New Owners.

A communist femboy stripping people of their rights. Why do you put up with this buffoonery. Canada is turning into a communist shithole with a mentalcase Muslim sympathizer. Sad to see Canada fall.
I’m replying to you because I want you to know that there is no changing for these corrupt people…. is that the people that give in country that have the problem corruption if the government of each country that has this problem … is the governor the common class of the people is to stifle the common people from having the rights during tattling themselves to have and to create the laws around this so they can squeeze off anyway that you can come forward to go after them for what they have done.. there’s nothing that you can do… Read more »
Grammar, punctuation, and proper vocabulary is needed when trying to explain oneself. Try it, and maybe people will be able to follow your thoughts, and understand your point.

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.
1. Because drug overdosing is a quiet death. Americans see the druggie falling into eternal slumber and dont think anything of it. 2. They do it to themselves. When was the last time a drug addict stuck people in a crowd and they od? Never. 3 it.doesnt involve a thing people can be led to hate and cut up with a saw in anger. Hold up a rock in a baggie on a stage and even the ones up front will have a hard time seeing it.
I think that our governments are allowing the drugs into her countries they could prevent a lot of this and they choose not to they just pick and choose what they want but as long as it lined their pockets with cash it doesn’t matter that’s all your Congress that does that the narcos that become that powerful all know too well how to get in the pockets of people in Congress or empowering any estate in your country or a given country… that’s why they’re trying to go to a digital currency so they can control things this is… Read more »
Grammar, comma’s anyone ? Anyone ? I get it but damn, it’s hard to comprehend what you’re writing if all your words, pronouns & adjectives are gobbled together. Make sense man.
I agree with you . he is difficult to understand.
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 »
Great first-hand account.
The epic drug problem IS overlooked because it generates so much money for both sides.
Other than drugs…want to outlaw something else inanimate? Outlaw cars – they kill people everywhere everyday. I’m joking of course but I’m trying demonstrate the lunacy of outlawing guns. When will they come after our firstborn?
they don’t worry about firstborn they have planned parenthood.
***This is what happens when Socialists Rulers come along.***
Remember and spread the word: Those who count the votes decide who wins an election.
Of you have a corrupt socialist bureaucracy, expect the socialists to win positions of power. Those who count the votes are rarely held to account. The removal of an election supervisor in Florida was an exception.
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.
I have always thought of Canadians as backward and unmanly.Unfortunately I was right.Dimwitted and proud,the canucks.
I agree…as a refugee from this country you are dead on
Sadly, what you see there is coming to the USA sooner than you think or know.
The anti-gunners here in the USA closely monitor and with envy are making similar moves.
And when they government pulls the trigger here the masses will comply.
With the exception of a very few patriots who know better then to get on the government bus!
They will just get it confiscated and lose their money.
Not if it falls out of the boat in swift water.
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.
