Back in 2020 PM Trudeau had banned 1,500 types of firearms in Canada, yet, that did not seem to be good enough for him...

Handguns: Canada proposes complete freeze on ownership

Canada should introduce a total ban on the buying and selling of all handguns, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said.
His government is proposing a new law that would freeze private ownership of all short-barrelled firearms.
The legislation would not ban the ownership of handguns outright - but would make it illegal to buy them.
Mr Trudeau's proposal comes days after a deadly shooting at a Texas primary school, in the neighbouring US, killed 21 people.
The bill, which was presented to Canada's parliament on Monday, makes it impossible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in the country.
"Other than using firearms for sport shooting and hunting, there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives," Mr Trudeau told reporters.
"As we see gun violence continue to rise, it is our duty to keep taking action," he said.

Texas shooting: Uvalde gunman entered door that did not lock

Texas police have said the gunman who shot 21 people dead at a school last week entered through a door that was supposed to lock, but somehow did not.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), which is investigating the shooting response, confirmed a teacher had initially propped open the door.

But a spokesman on Tuesday said the teacher closed the door once the gunman entered the campus.

Initial reports of the gunman getting into the school via an exterior door that was accidentally left open by a teacher had suggested a breach of school policy. Employees at Robb Elementary School are required to keep doors closed and locked.

However, an attorney for the unnamed employee told the San Antonio Express-News on Tuesday that she had closed it and "thought the door would lock because that door is always supposed to be locked".

Don Flanary said the woman had propped the door open with a rock so she could carry food from a car into a classroom, but she "kicked the rock away when she went back in" after realising a gun-wielding assailant was on campus.

Clinton lawyer cleared of lying to FBI over Trump

A former federal prosecutor, Mr Sussman had been charged by special counsel John Durham, a US government attorney appointed by then-President Donald Trump's justice department in 2019 to investigate potential illegalities in the government's handling of investigations into Mr Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
...
Prosecutors alleged Mr Sussman did so because he knew the FBI would be less likely to investigate if the information came from a partisan source.

They also said that Mr Sussman had warned the FBI that a major media outlet (later revealed to be the New York Times) was preparing to report on the matter and that the FBI should investigate before the link became public - without revealing that he was also the source of the information for the Times.
...
The jurors, however, were apparently swayed by Mr Sussman's lawyers, who argued that the prosecutors were building a vast conspiracy theory around a 30-minute meeting with FBI General Counsel James Baker.

The defence team also said that research into political opponents shared with the media and government investigators is a common practice and that Mr Sussman's Democratic ties were public knowledge.
...
Mr Durham's office released a statement saying prosecutors were "disappointed in the outcome of the case", but that they respected the jury's decision.

 So now you can lie to agencies like the FBI and get away with it!?
