THIS IS AN ASSAULT WEAPON.

Say what now?

Saddle up, friend. We've got a long way to ride through the @liberal_party's land of lies.

A thread about yesterday's debate, and about honesty. 🧵

1/ Trudeau was elected after promising a lot of things. Most of which he failed to deliver on.

But there's one in particular he's managed to "fulfill".

O'Toole responds to Trudeau's accusations by saying he will maintain the ban on assault weapon. (!!)

He says the Conservatives will work with police to eliminate illegal guns.

La qualité de l'article de @LP_LaPresse sur les armes à feu est absolument abjecte. Personne n'a pris le temps de valider ce qui est écrit avant de publier.

Tout d'abord, on parle des fusils de chasse de calibre 12 et on suggère que la faute est aux propriétaires qui interprètent mal la loi.
