During an interview on the podcast Pod Save the World, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau let his citizens know that they can't use guns for self-defense in his country.
Trudeau, who recently announced radical legislation that would ban the buying, selling, and distributing of handguns in Canada, said that they have been working on a gun-ban for several years. He said: "There's this sense that Canada responded to the shooting in Texas by suddenly turning around and banning guns. Lovely if it were true, but we've been working on this for seven years."
Those "setbacks" were, in many cases, Canada's Conservative leaders. These officials argued that, like Americans, Canadians had the right to arm themselves with weapons.
Trudeau continued, celebrating pieces of legislation in Canada that have banned different types of guns in recent years, including the recent ban on handguns. "Two years ago, we banned all military style assault weapons ... and just a few weeks ago ... we moved forward on a total freeze on handguns. We will eventually get it passed, and then it'll be illegal to buy, sell, transfer, import, handguns anywhere in the county."
Then, seeming to address Canadians critical of his radical overreach on law-abiding citizens, Trudeau stated:
"There are debates, and we have a culture where the difference is, guns can be used for hunting or for sport-shooting in Canada, and there are lots of gun owners, and they're mostly law-respecting and law abiding, but you can't use a gun for self-protection in Canada. That's not a right that you have in the Constitution or anywhere else."
WATCH:
Trudeau has been slammed as a "tyrant" for two years now due to his extreme COVID lockdown policies that included the arresting of pastors who held outdoor, socially-distanced church services against his wishes. However, Canadians have especially criticized his attacks on peaceful protesters during the Freedom Convoy.

During the convoy, as thousands gathered in Ottawa to protest Trudeau's mask and vaccine mandates, Trudeau sent his police force in against the protesters. Dozens were arrested, while others had their bank accounts frozen for participating in the demonstration. Have something to say about this article? Comment below!
