Stop to new purchases-sales, magazines with no more than 5 rounds
(ANSA) – WASHINGTON, MAY 30 – Justin Trudeau cracked down on arms, after the recent massacres in the USA: the Canadian premier announced a bill that provides for a “national freeze” of the ownership of a weapon and confiscation license for those involved in acts of domestic violence or harassment, such as stalking.
“From the day it goes into effect, it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import weapons into Canada,” Trudeau told reporters. If approved, the measure should be applied starting in the autumn. The squeeze from the Canadian premier also calls for long gun magazines to be modified so that they cannot fire more than five rounds, as well as a ban on the sale or transfer of high-capacity magazines – a way to limit the devastating power of semi-automatic rifles. often used in massacres.
“There is no reason anyone in Canada should have guns in their daily life, other than hunting and sporting weapons,” said Trudeau. (HANDLE).
