Justin Trudeau Deflects From Blackface Controversy By Banning ‘Assault Rifles’

Justin Trudeau has a little blackface problem on his hands.

So what’s a liberal hypocrite to do?

Ban guns, of course!

Canada’s main Beta Boy has announced that if re-elected, we will ban “military-style assault rifles.”

“We know you do not need a military-grade assault weapon, one designed to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time, to take down a deer,” he said while speaking in Toronto.

Yes, we DO know that. Who said anything about taking down a deer? I’m now worried about deer breaking in to my house and killing my family, either.

According to USA Today:

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday he plans to ban military-style assault rifles if re-elected. The announcement comes as he is dealing with backlash from recently uncovered instances of him wearing dark makeup years ago in forms of brown- or blackface.

Trudeau is running to keep his seat in Canada’s Oct. 21 election.

Yikes. That blackface incident really had inconvenient timing, huh?

After the bombshell photos came out, Trudeau’s Conservative Party opponent Andrew Scheer said Trudeau is “someone who is not fit to govern this country.”

Sure. But that has little to do with the photos.

When he announced the new gun control plan, Trudeau was speaking in Toronto’s Greektown neighborhood, which was the site of a shooting that left two people dead and injured 13 more last year.

“Gun crime in Canada is on the rise. It’s a fact,” he said. “Frankly, I don’t understand how anyone could look at this alarming trend and conclude that we need less gun control. But that’s for the Conservative leaders to explain to Canadians.”

Gun violence in Canada is rising, and we’re doing something about it. We’re taking concrete steps to strengthen gun control by banning military-style assault rifles that have no place in Canada. pic.twitter.com/rQ5KVXzari

So what’s he planning on doing? A “buyback” program, Beto-style:

Trudeau said he would implement a buyback program for military-grade weapons that were legally purchased. He also plans to work with municipalities to grant them more leniency in restricting handguns.

“That’s what a re-elected Liberal government will do,” Trudeau said.

Deflection – plain and simple.
