On military-style assault weapons, Bill Blair, seen here on Jan. 20, 2020, said the first part will be to introduce legislation to ban their sale across the country.The federal government plans to implement its gun-control strategy in a multistep process, acting quickly to prohibit the sale of assault weapons but taking more time for other measures, including a partial handgun ban that requires negotiations with the provinces, Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said.
“Our work is to reduce the supply of guns getting into the hands of criminals, but you also have to interdict the demand for those guns,” he said. “We have just gone through, for many communities across Canada, a very difficult summer last year. And so we want to make sure we are there for those communities and work in those communities to make substantive changes and investments that will help to keep them safe.
Mr. Blair said the government wants to get “good value” for the purchase of firearms that were legally obtained by Canadians. The Liberals placed an estimated price tag of $250-million on the program in the election campaign, but critics said the final tab will likely be much higher, reflecting the market value of the weapons.
He said that discussions and consultations are ongoing on new rules that would allow municipalities to ban handguns. He reiterated that his government will not enact a national handgun ban.

globepolitics The only gun control we need is the right to bear arms and the right to defend yourself and others from violence and life threatening situations. Crime will go down bigly. Other than that LIBs are playing in the hands of gangs and criminals. Make their lives and robbery easier
