Canada backs down on overly-broad rifle ban

Canada doesn’t have a Second Amendment. As a result, they don’t enjoy the protection provided by that handful of words. In essence, the government there acts like there is not right to keep and bear arms, and has said as much in the past.

As such, it was no surprise that the government in Ottawa was targeting not just AR-style rifles with a new round of gun banning, but a lot of other rifles as well.

Without some way of preserving the right to keep and bear arms, that right was in jeopardy.
