Canada bans more types of firearms and proposes donating guns to Ukraine

Deccan Chronicle  

Ottawa, Ontario : Canada said Thursday it is outlawing another 324 firearm varieties — guns the public safety minister said belong on the battlefield, not in the hands of hunters or sport shooters. The latest restriction, announced Thursday by Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, follows expressions of concern from gun-control advocates that many assault-style firearms were not included in the 2020 ban. Defense Minister Bill Blair said Canada approached Ukrainian authorities, who expressed interest in some of the guns. Opposition Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre called the announcement a “stunt” by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government that attacks “licensed & law-abiding hunters and sport shooters."
