Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has ordered a study of a potential full handgun and assault weapons ban in his country.

Trudeau ordered Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction Minister Bill Blair to conduct the study with Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale in a mandate letter, as reported by CBC News.

“You should lead an examination of a full ban on handguns and assault weapons in Canada, while not impeding the lawful use of firearms by Canadians,” the letter stated.

The letter also outlines other new assignments, such as forming the government’s plan to deal with asylum seekers who skirt official border points — which the letter calls “irregular migration," supervising the legalization of marijuana and fighting opioid abuse.

The gun violence issue rose to prominence after a deadly shooting in Toronto in July.
At the time, Trudeau vowed the government would take steps to ensure the public safety, but did not say if that would include a handgun ban.

The shooter used a 0.40-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun, which he obtained illegally by allegedly breaking-and-entering into a gun store.

Police have not concluded what the shooter’s motives were. The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria claimed credit for the attack shortly after it occurred, though police have said they have “no evidence” that the shooting was linked to the terrorist organization, according to CBC News.

Whats funny is that his dad, Pierre Treudeau, was the only Prime Minister to activate the War Measures Act in a non war situation. In 1970 he basically declared martial law in Quebec in response to a series of attacks and kidnappings done by the Quebec Liberation Front during what was called the October Crisis.

He also turned the phrase "just watch me" into what is basically a political taunt in Canada these days.

Ban anything you want, you will NEVER stop a NUT. Look at the Sterling Heights Officer that was killed some years back as he sat in his car, I think his name was Officer Sawyers??, the NUT shot him with a shotgun just so he could steal his handgun so he could rob a bank, the NUT subsequently killed himself in Florida as the Police were closing in, but the point is, NO law or Ban will stop a NUT if they want something bad enough. These laws and bans only stop the law abiding citizen from obtaining something they should be free to own.
