Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre dodged questions Sunday about whether he would repeal the federal government’s handgun ban, a measure brought in to tamp down on the diversion of legal firearms into the hands of bad actors.
Poilievre hasn’t said much during this campaign about what he would do with the Liberal firearms legislation he voted against while in Parliament, but he has blasted the last government’s “assault-style” firearm buyback program as a “gun grab” that he would scrap.
Gun control advocates say any legislation to curb the flow of firearms is a worthy measure to try and reduce incidents of crime and violence. Firearms rights advocates meanwhile say the Liberal suite of policies only punish lawful gun owners who play by the rules.
Your original comment states that Poilievre wants more gun violence.
You’ve made an assertion about his personal goals - supporting that requires information about him: either stuff he has said or reliable second hand reports of what he has said.
Poilievre has acted in favour of loosing gun restrictions leading to an inevitable increase of gun violence. He has done it before, there’s no need beat around the bush on it. Supporting guns is supporting violence period.
