Seven members of a parliamentary committee studying the Liberal gun bill have requested two special meetings to hear from witnesses on the government's proposed definition of an assault-style firearm.

The definition, put forward by the government as an amendment, has prompted confusion and controversy as MPs go over Bill C-21 clause by clause.

Among other technical specifications concerning bore diameter and muzzle energy, the proposed definition includes a centrefire semi-automatic rifle or shotgun designed to accept a detachable magazine that can hold more than five cartridges. It was unclear on Thursday when -- or even if -- any additional meetings to hear witnesses would take place.

Remember when Trudeau accused a Jewish woman of being a Nazi sympathizer? Nothing was done for it. But dear lord, do not tell the liberals they are lying on their gun laws; they will make sure you face criminal charges.

maybe ask the Land Protectors in BC, Weh'su'wetan peoples, who was that Reporter threatened with one those rifles?

Funny he has lots of guns. What is he afraid of? Criminals kill not guns

He lessens gun crimes on criminals yet he eants to take hunters rifles away law abiding citizens... ? TrudeauMustGo

He wants no canadians to have guns do he can attack canadians just like Hitler did to Germany remember?

End this idiocy and go after the criminals. Start with those in Ottawa.🙄🤡

Liberals = Lies

BS. They're calling 2 witness of their choosing which will mean nothing. There's dozens and dozens of experts and witnesses from all sectors that need to be hears ... but won't.

Reject this tyranny. Government bending our system to manipulate naive Canadians. TrudeaMustGo JustinTrudeau

Trudeau will say ' any gun that goes BANG'!

whole bill needs to be canceled. Assault style can mean anything Assault weapons were banned in 1977, Bill C-51. they use clever language to make people think assault weapons are still legal.

And more than 2…

There is no “assault style” weapon - it’s either an assault rifle capable of semi or full automatic fire by a selector switch, or it’s a semi automatic. Canada already has five shot maximum magazines by law, so this is a “manufactured” wedge issue by Trudeau and his gang - simple

Why wasn't this done BEFORE legislation was designed?

Experts have said no to the bill every step of the way, they've been ignored. It's politics, everyone involved knows that. Unfortunately millions of Cdns aren't viewed as humans deserving of any respect by the ruling party. LPC division at its finest

Amazing to me that Canadians are so easily manipulated to believe our government cares about us. Canadians NEED guns

They really don't have any idea what they're doing, do they? We are in serious trouble.

I thought it was defined in 1978.

Why? They didn't listen to them before.

Therefore, it is a hugely controversial measure, with… I will go with elitist incompetence Canada has been trying to get gun laws just right since early 1800s. 1912 handgun ban. This isn't a new problem to sort out. It's just a complex one Canadians have been working on for 200 years
