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. 🧵 #cdnpoli#elxn44 1/

Most gun homicides were gang-related.

"Silence the Violence and Shun the Guns is a North American initiative to reduce all at-risk youth gangs and gun violence.”
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.
Le problème, c'est que la loi est écrite ainsi et la GRC a confirmé qu'elle allait l'appliquer.
