Canada Bans Additional 324 Firearm Varieties
Canada has announced a ban on an additional 324 firearm varieties, with Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc stating these weapons belong on battlefields, not in civilian hands. The government is also exploring the possibility of donating some of these confiscated firearms to Ukraine to aid its defense against Russia, as confirmed by Defense Minister Bill Blair. This ban follows a previous 2020 restriction that initially encompassed 1,500 models, which has since expanded to over 2,000. The new measures coincide with the 35th anniversary of the École Polytechnique shooting, prompting renewed discussions on gun control in Canada, where mass shootings are comparatively rare. The government plans to work with provinces and police on a buyback program for prohibited weapons and has committed significant aid to Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict. Survivors of past gun violence, like Nathalie Provost, have expressed support for these restrictions, emphasizing the dangers of military-style firearms in civilian life.
