CPC Leader @PierrePoilievre is spreading falsehoods about gun control. He is repeatedly stating that assault weapons - guns that can kill many people in a short period of time, guns used to commit horrific mass shootings in Canada - are regular "hunting rifles". This is not true.
Canada banned assault weapons in 2020 after another mass shooting. Bans on such weapons work; they save lives. Numerous scientific studies from around the world confirm this. We have had two federal elections fought on this issue. Polls regularly show 80% support for this ban.
@Docs4GunControl @VoiceOfFranky @PierrePoilievre This isn't the first time he's LIED re the gun issue. Just blatant, unequivocal falsehoods. #PoilievresBaloneyFactory
@Docs4GunControl @PierrePoilievre Not true. A good hunter wants to take 1 shot to bring down a large beast.
@Docs4GunControl @psychrn1111 @PierrePoilievre Pierre PoiLIEvre is a pathetic LIAR!
@Docs4GunControl @PierrePoilievre It is true many use assault weapons for hunting, but they are not made for that and just because used for that doesn't make them a hunting rifle. Also thousands of guns still legal for hunting post ban and totally appropriate to ban most deadly weapons.
@Docs4GunControl @PierrePoilievre He has to distract from the Alex Jones revelation, yet stay in favour with Alex's crew. It is a tightrope.
@Docs4GunControl @PierrePoilievre So, the AR-15 isn’t any use in snipe hunting.
