Canada should introduce a total ban on the buying and selling of all handguns, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said.
His government is proposing a new law that would freeze private ownership of all short-barreled firearms.
The legislation would not ban the ownership of handguns outright – but would make it illegal to buy them.
Mr. Trudeau’s proposal comes days after a deadly shooting at a Texas primary school, in the neighbouring US, killed 21 people.
The bill which was presented to Canada’s parliament yesterday makes it impossible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in the country. END
