Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says Canada plans to temporarily ban the import of handguns into the country without the approval of Parliament, using a regulatory measure that comes into effect in two weeks.

The government tabled gun control legislation in May that includes a national freeze on the importation, purchase, sale and transfer of handguns in Canada but it has not yet passed.

The temporary ban will prevent businesses from importing handguns into Canada with a few exceptions that mirror those in the legislation tabled in May. As foreign affairs minister, Melanie Joly says she has the authority to ban any import or export permit in Canada. Government trade data shows Canada imported $26.4 million worth of pistols and revolvers between January and June - a 52 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.

Good

Again Libs do nothing about the criminals and only target the innocent and disarming us from protecting our family.

Why was this even legal in the first place?

This does nothing other than to keep the devout truanon faithful drooling over their leader - while stepping over the bodies of those killed by illegal guns that will still keep happening

So a lawful gun owner cannot import but gangbangers can! That makes sense to LIEberals and NDP’ers!!

No need now. Caribana is over.

Oh because that will stop the bandits use hand guns… ugh painful

How do we as citizens arrest these criminals in our government? The police are obvious too corrupt to act

Ban whatever you want I got mine so

Ban what you ban I’ll got mine so

Notice how they do this while trudope is away and not reachable to answer to this?

I guess your community, your GTA will be much safer now.

The ship of fools !

marcomendicino How you going to ban ILLEGAL hand guns? The legal ones are not killing people.

Awesome

Good, still importing marijuana.

It looks like if anyone wants to buy a gun, they better do it now!!

So when a Manson family breaks into your home one night what are you gonna use on them... Harsh language or a sweet Beretta on em all. I picked Beretta between there eyes sorry my family comes first not government chickens

“Ban legal handgun imports” there I fixed it for you. Because we all know the liberals don’t actually target the criminals perpetuating the smuggling.

Do the same with herion and cocaine. Ban this shit asap!!

I got mine! Legal

Vote grab.. all this is! Not gonna do anything

Am sure the bad guys are quaking in their boots?

Gee I guess we now know how to solve the illegal drug problem.

So let me get this straight, legally ordered and paid for guns are going to be banned. Hmmm the problem is the stolen guns coming in from the boarders. 🤦‍♂️

So once again the gov is making a mockery of parliament and doing whatever the hell it wants…….. some democracy we got going here people…🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Good

How they can stop illegal export guns.

Idiots

This helps in the courts to prosecute individuals who are sporting a hand gun during a search. Just another layer to allow a conviction of hand gun possession to receive a bigger sentence.

Sounds like the government's making organized crime more profitable

Who will they blame when nothing changes?

Are we currently importing guns

And what does this do again?

lol canada is communist. sucks. used to be such a nice place to visit in the summer. i feel bad for it’s citizens.

Just leaving these in this thread for some additional context.

LMFAOOOO THATS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE READ ALL DAY BAHAHAHAHA 🤣 🤦‍♂️ YA ONLY CRIMINALS ARE ALOUD TO HAVE GUNS !!!

border runs and canada post are where on the picket line of support services that ll will practically move the parcell anyway and be left with scurrly protocol?

Smuggling of illegal guns will not stop. Better to get tough on crime.

'temporarily'? 🤔

Liberal Idiots.

Ottawa YET AGAIN embraces fascism. Fixed it for you.

Canada is not a free country.. They will be eating crickets soon..

Act now bc once country is filled with these guns, like our neighbours to the south, it doesn’t matter what laws you impose, it’s to late.

How will we defend our country if we're ever invaded

So what next, begging criminals to surrender guns or giving criminals money to give up their ‘profession’? Liberals like always out of touch.

Gun crime will never stop, but it CAN be made a whole lot less frequent.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Because they support illegal weapons

Lol

Finally they have banned bringing guns into Canada... So, effectively the smuggler of yesterday, has more work today... wait... what? Canada

Joly and Mendicino are both pieces of 💩 .

The smuggling outweighs the imports, so good luck with that , if someone wants a gun they’ll get a gun

Get rid of this trash . The Liberals and CP24 are both pieces of 💩 .

He way she’s staring at him thou? She with him now

And not an iota of an effect on gun crime. How the hell can a minority government get away with such authoritarian measures without any actual recourse for the public? This country baffles me more and more each day.

This should stoop all the shootings that happen every day. Thank you liberal government.

Please explain how this will stop the illegal smuggling of hand guns?

Won’t solve the problem.

So we’ll need criminals to protect us from our tyrannical gov’t? They’ll be the only ones able to get guns.

You should ban nigge*r From having a handgun.

3d printer sales up 900000%

The liberals want a police state where you die in the time it takes them to decide whether they want to show up or not... They will preach about anti police trust and how they need to be defunded but yet keep giving them more and more power and less accountability...

Absolutely ridiculous! If people really think this is the solution to the illegal activities of gun smuggling, our leadership is failing us! This is a slap in the face to all Canadians

Adults that were sheltered their entire lives making decisions they have no clue about. That is our government. 👍🏼

That’ll show these criminals!!

Tyranny plain and simple

Smuggling is the illegal transportation of objects, there's difference between import and smuggled item's

Buy a 3D printer

Yes, because all bad guys obtained their guns this way

What about public already have in their closet?

All from a concocted misunderstanding

That should really put a dent in illegal smuggling.
