What does Bill C-21 propose to do? From a handgun 'freeze' to 'red' and 'yellow' flag laws, CTVNews.ca explores the federal government's proposed firearm legislation.

Many licensed firearm owners are also going through the process of transferring their handguns down to their licensed adult children before that too is banned, so they may last at least one more generation.IS THERE A BUY-BACK FOR HANDGUNS?

"Mostly, these are small businesses, family-owned businesses, so yes, I've been encouraging licensed gun owners, if you can go out and get whatever you can now in an effort to relieve the retailers and small businesses of the burden of having the impact of that freeze." A handgun manufacturer product is displayed at the CANSEC trade show in Ottawa on May 28, 2014. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean KilpatrickOn top of the proposed legislation, the federal government says it will also require long-gun magazines be permanently altered so they canThis adds another complication that Bernardo argues the federal government hasn't considered fully.

Huge waste of time and money, that's what it is. People with licenses aren't walking around the streets shooting their handguns at other citizens. C-21 will have 0 impact on firearm related crime. Criminals will still be out there with illegally smuggled guns killing people.

It’s Maoist

No one who says this will help, can tell you how it will help. Common sense arguments against these laws fall on deaf ears. I don't own or want a gun, but I can see lots of reasons rational law abiding people would. And more reasons criminals would.

This is a really good summary of a really bad bill. Good job on this !

'... StatCan says there is little information to determine the source of a firearm used in crime, including if it was stolen, illegally purchased or smuggled. Provinces also don't require that investigators send firearms used in crimes for tracing.'

Not going to fix the problem. Criminals will find a way to bring in guns. This just hurts the law abiding citizen.. only.

It means Canada needs a constitution! 2nd ammendment!

Thank the Lord Jesus Christ gun laws only apply to law abiding citizens.... LOL

Virtue signaling nonsense, more politicalization of a non issue to use as a political wedge.

Again the liberals aren't interested in stopping the crime. Eliminate the street gangs eliminate the illegal import of guns and more than 90% of the problem goes away. They will never do that.

Nazi trudeaus nazi agenda

It maybe time to ban the sale of ammunition for banned firearms

Montreal Nord is a war zone, the governments have all the tools already to tackle that problem, yet, won't.

It's already difficult to obtain a gun in Canada. What the Liberals did was just window dressing and exploiting a political opportunity. Our government are a bunch of assholes.

This article and several of its related links contain many inaccuracies. This needs to be rewritten with more emphasis on fact checking.

This bill will ban ALL paintball, airsoft, pellet, BB, water, nerf and toys that look like real guns. This would instantly make a lot of young Canadians criminals. The bill is totally insane and barely being reported by the media TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada

Won't stop any crime whatsoever. Bill C21 is a political move made by a party that plays politics instead of governing for the people!

I'm sure criminals aren't worried

If your channel can’t hack it in the main stream, too bad!! We don’t need our government telling us what to watch.
