Canada JUST Announced BANNING *ALL* Guns!

holy smokes folks after two terrible and

tragic shootings in the united states

one in buffalo and the other in texas

canada has now decided to do something

about gun violence they are banning

handguns

yes quite literally in fact let me give

you the reuters definition of what's

happening obviously there's more detail

to this but boy oh boy we got to talk

about this take a look at this trudeau

is announcing

a plan legislation that will implement a

national freeze on handgun ownership and

prevent people from buying and selling

handguns anywhere in the country the

legislation will go into effect sometime

in august and then once it goes august

or fall somewhere around there

based on some research but here they say

when it goes into effect people will no

longer be able to buy sell transfer or

import handguns now usually when things

like this happen

at least this is what we learned in

california and this is relatively easy

to prove statistically is every time you

have uh democratic governments uh or

left-leaning governments talking about

gun control measures or the limitation

or ban of certain firearm transactions

usually you see transactions for

firearms skyrocket the months before so

for example if i were in the gun

business i'd be pretty sad come the fall

because you might have to close your

doors which is kind of sad because you

know it's unemployed people or whatever

but but also uh before it like that

three months before or the six months

before that the period before whenever

the ban actually finally goes through

gun sales would be expected to skyrocket

in canada because realistically if you

ever wanted a gun you would have to

figure out the loopholes of the law

potentially there are

rights for family transfers or gifts or

inheritances some form of

limited transfers but essentially

whatever you want legally you kind of

have to buy now which is quite shocking

because that probably is not only going

to lead to a very large spike in guns

but then you also wonder how effective

it'll be in in the future like if the

guns are already out there but you can't

transfer guns that in theory means that

an 18 year old can't go into a store

anymore and buy a gun

legally at least it would become more

difficult because somebody would have to

find a black market and then transact

for a weapon on the black market and you

know buying guns illegally not

necessarily the easiest thing if you're

going to do a transaction with somebody

who tells you to bring cash and you're

going to go pick up a gun well you're

literally going to now meet somebody

with a gun to give them money to buy a

weapon right so it's really interesting

when we think about what what would

happen if they're just no gun

transactions at all but it's it's not

just hand guns that they're thinking

about modifying rules on take a look at

this we've got here canada banned the

sale and use of some 1500 models of

assault weapons like the ar-15 two years

ago and now the new legislation will

also implement uh that long gun

magazines be permanently altered so they

can no longer hold more than five rounds

so no longer and for example in

california you've got a sorry you have a

10 round limit on on weapons even

semi-amount of semi automatic ars

and then of course

in other states so you could go up to

you know 30 or even larger depending on

the kind of magazine that you use so

down to

five

would be kind of interesting it also

makes me wonder if they're going to have

a similar kind of loophole like in

california california you had freedom

week where if you bought

a high-capacity magazine for say a glock

15 19 20 rounds whatever you could own a

high-capacity magazine but if you didn't

get it during freedom week you're just

not allowed to own it you can't buy it

transfer it whatever i guess supposedly

if you find it in a desert it'd be okay

so it'll be interesting again to see how

people work with these loopholes but i

really expect a lot of of uh you know

increased gun sales in canada if this

ends up getting passed which wouldn't

surprise me if it does but anyway the

new legislation bill c21 also proposes

taking away firearms licenses from those

involved in acts of domestic violence or

criminal harassment such as stalking

other than using firearms for sport

shooting and hunting there is no reason

anyone in canada should need guns in

their everyday lives and then the

reuters article here ends with

this uh statistic that canada's rate of

firearm homicides is 0.5 per 100 000

people compared with 4.12

uh based on research from 2021 so

definitely a lot uh i mean this this

means we have about eight times as many

gun deaths or homicides in the united

states as canada does if they're taking

this action so let's talk about this a

little bit and sort of implications here

or sort of even my thoughts on guns and

gun control i do want to first just

mention that if you need life insurance

there's a link down below go to

metkevin.com

life for life insurance you can get in

as little as five minutes it's right

next to the links for the programs on

building your wealth there's a coupon

code down there expiring soon okay so my

thoughts

obviously the disasters that continue to

occur extremely terrible one of the

things that i really wish and i know

this is not uh there's no sole solution

for gun violence right but one of the

things that i really wish that we had

is better and clearer licensing in many

states you know people who shoot

firearms spend somewhere around 50 cents

to a dollar per bullet you go to the

range you're easily spending 100 150

bucks every time you go to the range

and so uh you know in my opinion

licensing that maybe uh requires some

form of training but then gives you more

privileges uh and potentially also has

like you know i mean these trainings

could also be sort of like mental health

check-ins right so to speak and i know

that sounds crazy but like for example

if you're in california and somebody's

like hey i'm a law-abiding citizen i

want a firearm for whatever reason to

protect myself from my business my

property or whatever we've got an

increase of violence in los angeles for

example you know why why can bad guys

have guns but good guys can't right and

so in my opinion there's this potential

opportunity to say hey look previously

california just won't let you have guns

but now california might say let's give

folks the opportunity to get a license

but they have to you know do uh twice a

year uh you know

shooting training with with someone at

the county or whatever or the ranges do

it like they have range certifications

or whatever and at the same time they

ask you you know 10 questions or

whatever about your mental health you're

going to the range anyway to shoot or

quite frankly if you have a weapon you

should be going to the range anyway

right so it should all kind of be

bundled in

into that it's like hey all right here

you get privileges it's just go train at

the range at least twice a year and then

while you're there hey we're gonna do a

quick little you know like check-in or

whatever things like this i think where

you can give and and then and then

license properly i think is quite useful

but that's for normal sort of

law-abiding folks but then we've also

got to solve other underlying issues uh

biggest one in my opinion being poverty

if you're in poverty you're twice as

likely to be involved in violent crime

so there's a very clear link between

poverty and violence and crime and

weapons especially weapons violence

right that's terrible and so that's

that's a system it's a systemic issue

that we have that for example we don't

teach financial education at our schools

well why don't we teach financial

education our schools along with mental

health why don't we teach mental health

in our schools to make mental health

normal right to give everybody the

opportunity to have let's say for

example a free annual meeting with a

therapist or whatever or twice annual

you know we do physical checkups why

don't we do mental health checkups and

those could be optional but at least

give people the opportunity for those

everybody right and then if for example

you're a gun licensee maybe they're

required just as as an example

so

there's there's so many things that are

broken in really american society that

there's no real easy answer for for gun

violence especially since a lot of the

modifications that are required for

weapons for legal gun owners especially

in california like thumb guards or

whatever can easily just be detached by

a criminal like a criminal's not going

to follow the law and use weapons the

way they're supposed to be used in their

unmodified state so it's kind of some of

the the

regulations on on

legal gun ownership

seem

kind of odd because they they like they

don't seem to make sense because a

criminal could just unmodify weapons

right if they're going to be a criminal

anyway so it seems like there's a lot of

punishing in society on legal gun

ownership

uh there's not much of a drive towards

okay well let's let's maybe give

privileges but then also maybe increase

the barriers a little bit uh license and

we're not talking about like very

expensive licensing this is why i'm

saying like go to a range anyway where

you're doing it right there there are

some simple solutions that can be

implemented to keep costs down but

actually compliance way up

uh in addition to of course we need to

have a focus on again trying to solve

poverty and financial education at

schools and elevating people like why

are schools so terrible why is

california for example ranked 40th in

schools in the united states well geez

you know maybe if we can elevate our

schools and invest in our schools well

then maybe we have less poor people and

then we have less violence because

remember that association between

violence and poverty so very very

unfortunate this i think is uh you know

this is quite a far step for canada i

mean i almost kind of want to say

extreme because it really it's going to

lead to a massive spike of weapon sales

now there's no doubt about that but yeah

i mean look in 10 years from now

somebody's like oh i think i want to be

a gun owner it's like oh wait i you

can't you can't buy a gun so it's kind

of interesting to see you know how

things will end up evolving in canada

does i mean does it just become a place

where ultimately guns just over time

kind of

disappear in canada i mean i doubt it

but if you can't import them that also

means you can't go to like the united

states buy them and bring them in unless

you're doing so illegally and there are

a lot of folks who

will say whatever i'll just you know

find guns illegally but they're also

i would say more people probably i would

guess like 80 of people maybe even 90 of

people who were like all right well i

mean if it's against the law i don't

want it because you know it's it's not

worth having it but then also you know

getting in trouble if i get caught with

it or whatever right and like how do you

use it then if it's illegal like do they

have checkpoints at the gun ranges like

it's not a registered firearm right i

don't know i i really don't know quite

interesting what canada is doing it

seems fascinating uh and uh it's also

to some degree and i'm not saying that

this is exactly what we want in the

united states but it's also kind of to

some degree sad that's like wait the

shootings are happening in the united

states the united states can't get

anything done you get like chuck schumer

and the democrats talking about doing

stuff but we know the biden

administration hasn't really been able

to get anything done and so canada is

just let's make it happen

so might not agree necessarily with what

they're doing but it's like actually

seems like you guys are doing something

it's interesting again probably not

exactly the way that i would go i've

given a lot of suggestions here but i

want to hear from you what are your

thoughts about this

pretty wild anyway i'll look for you in
