Timcast IRL #540 - Canada Moves To Effectively Ban ALL HANDGUNS w/Sharyl Attkisson & Carrie Sheffield
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL Episode 540 opens with Tim Pool discussing Canada's shocking announcement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to implement a national freeze on handgun ownership, prohibiting the importing, buying, selling, or manufacturing of new handguns. Tim expresses disbelief at the move and draws comparisons to discussions happening in the United States, where prominent liberal voices have called for sweeping gun bans. He specifically references Joe Biden's controversial statement that no one should own a 9mm handgun, which Tim notes is one of the most common handgun calibers used by law enforcement. The episode continues with coverage of a Florida story involving a 10-year-old arrested for making a joke about rifles, and the subsequent publication of the child's name and face. Tim mentions several additional stories including Paramount Plus sponsoring a drag event with children on stage, and the controversy surrounding Ethan Klein's calls for violence against the NRA convention. The show features Sharyl Attkisson, an independent investigative journalist formerly with CNN, CBS, and PBS who now hosts a Sunday TV show reaching 43 million households, and Carrie Sheffield from the Independent Women's Forum who discusses preserving women's rights. Seamus Cogley announces the launch of FreedomTunes.com, offering cartoons and behind-the-scenes content for supporters. Tim also previews the upcoming Matt Walsh documentary 'What Is a Woman' releasing June 1st.
