Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the ban of over 1,500 models and variants of assault-style firearms.
TORONTO – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday that Canada is banning the use and trade of assault-style weapons immediately.
“You do not need an AR-15 to take down a deer,” Trudeau said. “So, effective immediately, it is no longer permitted to buy, sell, transport, import or use military-grade, assault weapons in this country.” Trudeau has said his government would introduce further gun control legislation prohibiting military-style assault weapons, a measure that had already been planned before the coronavirus pandemic interrupted the current parliamentary session.
