Canadian Assault Firearms Rethink


I have never been a fan of the general sale of any form of assault rifle to the general untrained public.  That is simply crazy.

Understand that all hunting and pest control is best handled with a bolt action rifle where in practise you get one good shot  anyway.  such a weapon is also easily mastered and does not require excessive mainetenance.
After all that, the assault weapon owner needs to be seriously trained and does need to be an active part of the militia whose training is minimal at best.  It is certainly not combat grade even if rookies are grabbed when needed.  It is unfunny to join the national guard for laughs and giggles only to find yourself on a boat to Korea.  Or the seaforths to immediately head for training prep for afghanistan.  I knew them both.
however we now have an insane taking head in Washington who needs a cold bucket of sobriety.  The best way is to allow assault weapon ownership for active militia members..  This provides monthly refreshing of skills and access to firing ranges.  Canada can potentially field 4,000,000 angry Canadian militia men along with 4,000,000 angry female drone operators.  All packing a personal assault weapon of choice.

Government of Canada opens the Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program to all individual firearms owners "Assault-style firearms do not belong in our communities. These types of firearms were designed as weapons of war. Prohibiting and removing them from our communities is an important part of our government's commitment to tackling gun violence and keeping Canadians safe. We also want to make sure that people who own these firearms get fair compensation. The national compensation program we are announcing today will do that. I urge all owners of prohibited assault-style firearms to declare their weapons so they can seek compensation. While participation is voluntary, abiding by the law is not.'' - The Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety
