Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stunned reporters on Tuesday by admitting on camera that he intends to ban all firearms in Canada.
Trudeau began by saying that he is intent on “freezing” the Canadian gun market while not distinguishing between handguns, shotguns, and rifles.
He then admitted that his regime would look at “banning” all guns.
“Whether it’s our most recent initiatives on banning—sorry, on freezing the market for firearms, which will start moving us in the right direction over the medium and long term,” Trudeau said.
