LIBERALS GUNNING FOR GRANDPA'S VARMINT RIFLE

   With no acknowledgment of its chicanery, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is now covertly gunning for grandpa’s varmint rifle as though it tops the gangbanger’s wish list.
   In committee last week for a pending gun control bill, Liberal MP Paul Chiang introduced an amendment that would effectively criminalize millions of firearms currently in use with Canadian hunters.
   The amendment proposes to ban “a firearm that is a rifle or shotgun, that is capable of discharging centre-fire ammunition in a semi-automatic manner and that is designed to accept a detachable cartridge magazine with a capacity greater than five cartridges of the type for which the firearm was originally designed.”

  Also tabled was a 478-page amendment banning thousands of additional Canadian firearms by name. This included the SKS, a Soviet-designed surplus rifle that has long been a favourite of Canadian sports shooters, with around 200,000 owners.
