Nothing will get in the way of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau doing his job. Nothing:

We’re going to ban military-style assault rifles in Canada. — Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) September 20, 2019

Can’t have all those trigger-happy Canadians running around shooting squirrels. Justin needs those squirrels.

Trudeau needs a distraction from his blackface scandal so some people will need to lose a little freedom https://t.co/dt6KGNsn5K — Allahpundit (@allahpundit) September 20, 2019

What if we just made them a different color? — mitrebox (@mitrebox) September 20, 2019

Seems like a reasonable solution.

How many people in Canada are killed by "military-style assault rifles" every year compared to how many times the Prime Minister puts on blackface to go to a party? — Aldous Huxley's Ghost™ (@AF632) September 20, 2019
