Biden s inner Trudeau: On guns, he seems to be operating under the wrong Constitution

Politicians have long admitted that a crisis is an opportunity not to be missed the greater the tragedy, the greater the opportunity. After the mass shooting at a Buffalo supermarket, New York s Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) called for censorship to silence the voices of hatred and racism. After the Uvalde massacre, some Democrats renewed calls for everything from court packing to ending the Senate filibuster

The most immediate response, however, was a call for gun bans. Vice President Kamala Harris got out front of the White House by demanding a ban on AR-15s, the most popular weapon in America. Then President Joe Biden created a stir by suggesting he might seek to ban 9mm weapons.

Such calls are not limited to the United States. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that his government is introducing legislation to implement a national freeze on handgun ownership. He said Canadians would no longer be able to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada, adding that there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives.
