Fewer guns mean safer communities. That’s why the Government of Canada is implementing some of the strongest gun control measures in a generation. Handguns are the weapon of choice in most firearm-related crimes, which is why limiting the number of handguns is a critical part of our plan to protect Canadians from violence.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today announced the national freeze on the sale, purchase, and transfer of handguns comes into effect. From now on, people cannot buy, sell, or transfer handguns within Canada, and they cannot bring newly acquired handguns into the country.
A national handgun freeze was first announced alongside Bill C-21, the strongest gun control measures in over 40 years, in May 2022. While the bill continues to be debated in Parliament, we are taking immediate action through regulations to keep Canadians safe.
The national handgun freeze is part of the government’s comprehensive plan to tackle gun violence. We have already banned over 1,500 types of assault-style firearms and have strengthened our gun control laws to expand background checks. Bill C-21 proposes further measures to keep guns out of the wrong hands like revoking the firearms licences of those involved in acts of domestic violence or criminal harassment, continuing to fight gun smuggling and trafficking, and providing law enforcement more tools to investigate firearms crimes.
One life taken by gun violence is one too many. We will continue to work with provinces, territories, Indigenous communities, and municipalities to keep Canadians safe. We will continue to do whatever it takes to keep guns out of our communities and build a safer country, for everyone.
Update: People can no longer buy, sell, or transfer handguns within Canada – and they cannot bring newly acquired handguns into the country.

Except a few pesky truckers and indigenous people who are scared of bears and stuff
Opening the market on crime......
If Capone were alive today, I wonder if he would smuggle weapons, instead of whiskey? I can see organized crime getting involved.
Tyranny returns to North America two and a half centuries after my ancestors evicted it with their long guns.
Time to declare war on this faggy little punk, push him back to France or maybe Cooba where he wants to live.
It the same strategy to enslave people taking place all over the world. Darkness is coming.
The article makes it quite clear that the ban pertains only to handguns.
Do you go hunting with a handgun?

...also knife and acid crimes soon to be on the rise.
Maybe he wants to give the deer a fighting chance.
And Canada IS safer than ever now....Especially the diverse community of Montreal.

Welcome to communist Canada. Like a scene from “Red Dawn” only this is not a movie. It is real.
The Castro brothers and DGI/KGB really taught the Trudeau MARXIST Family how to sell out freedom.
