It’s been 14 months since Justin Trudeau used an order-in-council to prohibit more than 1500 variants of firearms, rendering them unusable overnight with the stroke of a pen. This move has not put a dent in gun crime in Canada, mainly because lawfully owned firearms are not the ones that end up in the hands of criminals. In this first part of Assaulted: Justin Trudeau’s War on Gun Owners, host Andrew Lawton explains the rigorous vetting of Canada’s legal firearms owners, and speaks to gun owners and experts about why the Liberal government’s measures miss the mark.

In this episode, Andrew speaks to Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights CEO Rod Giltaca, Toronto Sun columnist Brian Lilley, International Shooting Supplies owner Scott Carpenter, and Surrey city councillor and retired police officer Jack Hundial.

In Assaulted: Justin Trudeau’s War on Gun Owners, True North’s Andrew Lawton travels the country talking to real gun owners whose stories are being ignored by the mainstream media and who are being vilified by the Trudeau government.We thank the generous supporters whose contributions made this project happen.
