According to Firearm Chronicles
What do American progressives always do immediately after a mass shooting? That’s right, they always push for gun control. Just minutes after news of a mass shooting, they’re pushing their pet gun control policies before we even know anything about what happened. They’ll push universal background checks even before we find out that the killer passed a check. They’ll push assault weapon bans well before news breaks that the killer used a handgun.
That’s just par for the course.
It also seems that it’s not unique to American politicians.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday his government would move ahead on the gun control legislation he promised during last year’s election campaign after the deadliest shooting in his country’s history, though it was not clear how soon he would do so. “I can say that we were on the verge of introducing legislation to ban assault-style weapons across this country,” he said during his daily coronavirus briefing. “It was interrupted when the pandemic caused Parliament to be suspended, but we have every intention of moving forward on that measure, and potentially other measures, when Parliament returns.” Authorities say a single gunman shot and killed at least 18 people in rural Nova Scotia during a rampage Saturday and Sunday before he himself died.
At least 18 killed in Nova Scotia shootings, deadliest in Canada’s history
On Monday, a coalition of gun control groups implored Canada’s public safety minister to immediately ban the new sale of military-style assault weapons.
