Justin Trudeau Directs Attention to U.S. Canada Vows to End Gun Violence

Canadians with handguns will be allowed to keep them as long as they are registered under the new rules.

This includes exceptions for elite shooters, Olympic athletes, and security guards, Reuters reports. The government also announced that long-gun magazines must be modified to hold no more than five rounds, and that it will be prohibited from being sold or transferred to large capacities.

Trudeau stated, “These are actions doctors, experts, and chiefs of the police have been calling to for for years.” “We are taking their advice into consideration.”

Prime Minister acknowledged that the “vast majority” of Canadian gun owners use their guns legally and safely.

Trudeau stated that firearms are not needed for hunting and sports shooting, but there is no reason to have guns in Canada’s daily lives. “Canadians don’t require assault weapons designed to kill the most people in the shortest time,” Trudeau said.

Canada does not have the same right to gun ownership as the United States, but Trudeau recognized that there was an increase in gun violence and called for action to address it.

According to reports, the bill will likely pass.

We cannot allow the gun debate to become so polarized that no action is taken. He said that we cannot allow this to happen in our country. This was perhaps in reference to gun violence in the U.S. where recent back-to-back shootings occurred in Buffalo (New York) and Uvalde (Texas_). This is about freedom. “People should feel free to go to their school, the supermarket or their church without fear.

Trudeau said that gun violence is a complex problem, but the math is actually quite simple. “The safer our communities are, the fewer guns there will be.”
