So does canadian made handguns exists?

As a machinist, I can say it may have to become a thing. Highly doubt they'll give out manufacturing licenses though.

Neat. So, at what point do our overlords determine that your house is too big and it needs to be repurposed? Or your car is too fast and isn't yours anymore? Or maybe you don't have a "need" for that boat you bought? Or maybe you eat too much beef and for some reason your card doesn't work at the grocery store?

Not to state the obvious, but I feel that we're past the point of teetering at the top of the slippery slope and are well on our way down.

The story, as related by Canadian Press:

Government to use regulation to ban handgun imports in two weeks

OTTAWA — Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says Canada plans to temporarily ban the import of handguns into the country without the approval of Parliament, using a regulatory measure that comes into effect in two weeks.

The change will last until a permanent freeze is passed in Parliament and comes into force.

The government tabled gun control legislation in May that includes a national freeze on the importation, purchase, sale and transfer of handguns in Canada but it has not yet passed.

The temporary ban will prevent businesses from importing handguns into Canada with a few exceptions that mirror those in the legislation tabled in May.

As foreign affairs minister, Mélanie Joly says she has the authority to ban any import or export permit in Canada.

Government trade data shows Canada imported $26.4 million worth of pistols and revolvers between January and June — a 52 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 5, 2022.

I'm so mad at all of this. I can't believe in all the lies! I don't see anything getting better sad-fully for us lawful gun owners in the future either.

This and alot of other things; the liberals have got to go. Outright lies, deception, dishonorable, misinformation, abuse of power, total lack of ethics, self-serving. Pretty much everything that is wrong in Canada is because of liberals.
