Enough is enough. I want one of the anti gun crowd on here who've been so vehemently defending this gun grab to explain why their "you don't need a semi automatic rifle to hunt" whine only applies to white people?

What possible rational could there be to give natives semi automatic weapons "for hunting" while denying that same right to other Canadians. Oh wait. They must need "assault rifles" so they don't end up over represented in prison.

   

Yes, white people are the real victims here.

   

Because natives have been hunting with semi-automatic weapons for thousands of years.

   

1- I’m not a member of the anti gun crowd, I’m a member of the anti automatic weapon and civilian “public carry” of handgun crowd,
2- I suspect the feds are concerned they will not have the right to regulate what firearms are used on Treaty Lands.
3- Unless my experience is incorrect, you would be able to load all the AR-15’s owned by Treaty guys into a large wheelbarrow with room left over for a few Cooey SS 16 gauges.

   

The article states: “They may continue using firearms that were previously non-restricted for these purposes until a suitable replacement can be acquired.”

But it has never been legal to hunt with an "Assault Rifle", or a rifle that is classed as 'restricted'.

Meaning, the title is incorrect.

So's pretty much everyone else. Automatic weapons are already banned, which makes the new bans meaningless. And open carry is also banned, which once again makes any new bans meaningless.

Would it be too much to ask that the ban-crazies in the government actually bother to educate themselves enough to understand the differences between automatic, semi-automatic, and single-shot firearms? I suspect that they haven't made any effort at all to learn these differences is because they simply don't care, because the end goal is to one day have a full and total ban on any sort of private firearm possession altogether. Like why waste any effort to understand the technical details of something you intend to completely abolish out of existence?

   

I'm still waiting for an answer and your response isn't an answer.

   

OK Boomer

   

Yes I understand that none of these prohibited firearms are actual assault rifles and that, in Canada you've never been allowed to hunt with an assault rifle.

But, that still doesn't mitigate the fact that there is "no suitable replacement for an assault rifle"" or even a "prohibited semi automatic rifle" for that matter. Unless of course you step it back down to bolt/lever/pump action rifles which means that these "suitable replacements" are already available and renders that argument moot.

So, is the gov't going to allow the import of semi automatic rifles not on their new prohibited list just for natives and screw the rest of Canada. Or, are they going to allow non native Canadians to own these new rifles too?

   

Good to know you've still got nothing except childish, ageist insults.

Fortunately I'm a patient man so I'll wait for your answer and for the record, take all the time you need to formulate a logical explanation for Trudeau's racist guns laws?

   

Well, I'm not one of the anti-gun crowd you were looking for, but I like to point out the obvious flaws in people's arguments. Your answer is actually in the title: "Section 35". What is Section 35?



So it's not Trudeau's racist laws (that haven't even been written yet), it's actually the Constitution that protects the right of Indigenous people to hunt.

   

Nobody is disputing the fact that natives have the right to hunt but, in your post there is zero mention of what type of weapons they may use for their "traditional" hunting rights.

So, given that it doesn't mention anywhere in your post about the use of banned or restricted weapons for natives it must be okay if one of them decided he wanted to go hunting with a 155 mm Howitzer or how about if one get's a little hungry and takes a couple of grenades down to the Fraser during tourist season and tosses them off the pier at the New West Quay, nope, no problems with that is there?

And for the record allowing one race to use banned weapons while denying all other races the same right is a racist policy and you'd be the first in line screaming about it if the roles were reversed.

I'm sorry but this has sweet fuck all to do with hunting and everything to do with creating divisions in Canada based on a persons race.

   

In 1982 the only people who had heard the term "assault rifle" were armies. That's what Wikipedia tells me anyway. The also tell me assault rifles are "selective fire." Here's how they define "selective fire:"

Near as I can figure "assault rifles" were handed out indiscriminate of race by the army until Prime Minister Blackface came along and just now, redefined the term to describe exclusively, semi-automatic rifles and passed a law that only Natives could use them.

Fricken racist.
