Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has introduced legislation that would put a freeze on importing, buying or selling handguns. 9News

Bill Blair, minister of emergency preparedness, said Canada is very different from the United States.“This is a principal that differentiates ourselves from many other countries in the world, notably our colleagues and friends to the south.Canada has had far fewer mass shootings than the US in part because of a lack of easy access to guns, though the US population also is far larger than Canada's.

The government also said the bill would also allow for the removal of gun licenses from people involved in acts of domestic violence or criminal harassment, such as stalking. The government said it will require rifle magazines to be permanently altered so they can never hold more than five rounds and will ban the sale and transfer of large-capacity magazines under the Criminal Code.

How to keep a tyrant in power eh

wan88super The guns are pouring over the US side of the border into Canada. This law won't change anything. It'll just increase illegal gun sales and smuggling.

Governments don't want the ppl to fight against them

This is why the NRA and the laws of the US are important to law abiding citizens, government always over regulate , they are like a mouse that slowly bites away freedoms once you let them. People only a few days ago cried the US should have Canadian laws, well not now!!

And knifes?

A perfect example of a buffoon wearing a suit,or a sly evil bastard trying to disarm the public.
