Both Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and Conservative leader Andrew Scheer have plans to tackle the gun violence that has been rearing its ugly head in cities across our country and leaving tragedy in its wake.

Trudeau’s plan is a tired one that we’ve been hearing played on repeat by progressive politicians in recent years: Ban handguns. More precisely, Trudeau wants to allow municipalities to opt for handgun bans in their own cities.

The Liberal leader has also promised a national ban on the AR-15 rifle. There are 75,000 of these restricted rifles in Canada legally registered with the RCMP.

“The problem is, these are not the guns that are claiming victims on Canadian streets,” explains Brian Lilley in a recent column on the issue.

A new poll conducted for the Sun and first reported by Lilley reveals that Canadians inherently know this. What Trudeau is offering does not line-up with what concerns voters.
