Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino will present the bill after the daily question period before joining Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and supportive voices, including some city mayors, from across the country for a press conference at Ottawa's Chateau Laurier hotel.The legislation will revive some federal measures that did not pass before last year's general election and flesh out new proposals made during the subsequent campaign.
Though a national ban is not anticipated in the bill, the government could take steps in that direction by phasing out handgun ownership with a cap on the number of firearm licences, outlawing the importation and manufacture of new handguns, or enacting tougher storage rules. An "assault-style" firearm ban -- the government's flagship gun-control promise to date -- involves moving forward on a mandatory buyback of models the government outlawed in May 2020.The plan has won praise from gun-control advocates, but Conservative MPs and others opposed to the plan have suggested it targets legitimate gun owners rather than preventing illegal firearms from falling into the wrong hands.
PolySeSouvient has urged the government to change the firearm classification system to eliminate loopholes and capture all current and future guns that fall into the category.
Excellent. This government is finally getting around to doing what the people have asked them to. Hopefully they make clear rules for banning weapons rather than just banning individual weapons because the manufacturers are just changing minor things to get around the bans.
When will they create a solution to illegal arms , thus stopping the potential for fire arms related activities
Having lost a family member to random gun violence I might have a say! Guns don’t kill, criminals do supported by liberals and an inept justice system.
Do it and do right, Canada wide. Leaving it up to the Provinces, doing it piecemeal, opens us to the massacres we're seeing in the US. Anyone thinking it can't happen here hasn't been paying attention to the RW fringe movements spreading across the country.
Notice the story fails to include groups representing law abiding gun owners or the Chiefs of police who don’t support a handgun ban. All virtue signaling targeting law abiding citizens and will do nothing for violence or crime TrudeauMustGo TrudeauDictatorship smokeandmirrors
Sure hope them drug dealers and gang bangers comply.
When the Criminals have compromised both CBSA and the RCMP, laws no longer matter. But go off kween yaaaas slay
How dare you
This should make no difference. Great use of energy here
Bleeding-heart liberals never waste a tragedy to implement their bait and switch firearms prohibitions. It is almost like they keep a draft in the drawer and wait for the opportunity to use emotions rather than reason for consent to use arbitrary and unilateral authority.
Great, make sure the bad guys are safe
Probably 'no one under the age of one allowed to carry a ak47'
Criminals don’t follow gun laws! Increase jail time and make them accountable for all the car jackings and everything!
Oh great. More disarming law abiding citizens while doing nothing to curb crime. The Liberal playbook.
All this is, is just posturing for the next election
Responsible licence hand gun owners are not the ones shooting people
Seeing as they are basically banned already in Canada this means absolutely nothing & will do nothing to prevent the gun violence problem growing in our communities.
Id like to hear the bill because this article says they are looking at including things that are already prohibited.
Good job on penalizing the legal gun owners and doing nothing on the actual problem
This will solve nothing in Canada.
as if its going to make a difference. If it does ; it wont turn out to be the outcome desired
For those saying why bother,cri.inals are gonna get guns anyways...you can use that faulty logic on anything. Why have killing people be illegal when people are gonna kill whether it's legal or not. Why register & safety your car when people are gonna drive their cars anyways...
Can we make sure the reserves that straddle the border get the memo?
Everyone knows gun safe zones have the highest gun violence they make people weak targets
But not for criminals! 😡
If making something illegal stopped it from happening we wouldn't have drug problems in our country. Criminals don't buy their guns at a gun shop so no legislation will stop those people from getting guns and using them.
That wont do anything what a bunch of clowns we have running things
I’m not upset about this , nobody needs a handgun, but to think will make a difference is wrong
And I’m sure the gang members will be following these new restrictions…
FANTASTIC. I love this thank you PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN T
This is well overdue. I can't wait to hear it.
The only thing that will stop handgun violence is our Prime Minister doing something about them coming across the border from the US. Changing our laws does absolutely nothing except piss honest gun owners off
