Tom Mulcair column: Both Trudeau, O'Toole playing hide-and-seek in 'phony' gun control war

In a country that prides itself on being far more rational than Americans on the issue of firearms, I’ve sadly been through more than my share of commemorations and funerals after shootings. , a 25-year-old police officer in my riding who’d been shot through a door and right through her bullet-proof vest with a high-powered hunting rifle.

The debate now largely revolves around the types of weapons, their shapes, what they look like. Assault-style essentially means that they look like the automatic weapons that are used by armed forces. Since Harper abolished the long-gun registry, a police officer approaching a house where a domestic dispute has been signalled doesn’t know if there are weapons inside. So much for helping with law and order.

Trudeau is promising to finally get it right if only Canadians will elect him for a third time. Problem is, he’s had six years to do it and hasn’t.

Column written by a NDPer to promote the NDP?

Voters don’t seem to think it’s irrelevant. O’Toole’s flip flop and Page90 are closing the gap with this issue alone.

The picture they used would make a great sign at the airport for when the Afghanistan's walkthrough... No AK-47s at airport allowed.

Tackle drug dealers, criminals, gangs, illegal guns into Canada...that simple.

Gun and violence has increased globally...need to keep making progress..and make consequences tougher as well

What happened to Tom Mulcair?

Tom Mulcair is out for revenge for his own 2015 failure! CTV you are the FOX of the North

Well OT more fake. He flipped on the issue. JT consistent

Mulcair couldn't beat Paul if he ran for leader of Green Party Why they have his slanted view is annoying What credibility does he have He is a loser under NDP If he had such insight he might have won some seats He lost most of the seats

3D printing technology makes gun control a dead issue, within 10 years everyone will have one and guns will be an email away

Mulcair is a bitter person! Having his commentary is hilarious! You can smell and taste his hatred of PMJT every time he spits out his name!

If Trudeau thinks he's done ANYTHING to curb gun violence and the illegal guns that flow into this country then he needs more mental help than I originally thought.

They should just commit to banning all handguns, all semi-automatics, and all guns with detachable magazines (for quick reloading) and let hunters have traditional hunting guns.

Trudeau likes to throw aspersions. Although he’s been in power for 4+ years and gun violence has increased. Now he’s touting eliminating mandatory minimum sentence for some gun crimes. How is this tough on gun violence?

John Ivison: Liberals put O'Toole on the defensive on gun controlO\u0027Toole jeopardizes his prospects of forming a government by catering to the gun lobby with his answer Also, the MSM refuses to put liberals on the defensive for the actual gun violence. Guns are not an issue in Canada. Leadership is. Aside from the ‘scary gun’ subject, an arbitrary Order in Council issued by a Government that does not want a legislative debate in Parliament or disclose any reasons or justifications for judicial review smells like ‘cancel culture’—not liberal democracy.
