Armed citizenries are waning as the days go on. People in Canada are scrambling to arm themselves this week after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the parliament alike announced legislation set to completely ban the importation and sale of all handguns in the nation, France 24 reports.
Citizens in Canada are already severely restricted on handgun ownership, with a restricted firearms license and a separate permit for transportation already required to acquire such a firearm.
“We’re introducing legislation to implement a national freeze on handgun ownership,” Trudeau declared during a news conference.
“What this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada,” he said. “In other words, we’re capping the market for handguns.”
Many in Canada are worried about the imminent legislation.
