    1. So if you already own one, you still do. Nothing changed. What difference does it make that you can’t buy one?

  1. I wonder why the statistics of criminal activity with legally owned vs illegally owned guns is never publicized by this government?

  2. How about punishing criminals who illegaly have guns instead of the legal owners. This PM has dropped minimum charges year after year, to the point that it is a slap on the wrist now.

  3. I guess with this announcement gangsters won’t allow to buy their legal handguns anymore. Sorry for the bad language but this government is really stupid. The lady standing behind you that lost her son should feel very disappointed The same government standing in front of her lowered the sentencing for gun offenses, So that means that person who killed your son would be coming back on the streets within the next 5 to 10 years. Please Mr. Government make your laws make sense.

  4. Let’s take note of the gun crime stats now, and again in 6 months. I’ll let you guess how that’s going to go 🙄

  5. Wow the guy even smirks at the beginning of his statement almost as if mocking of everyone… Sad chapter in Canadian history
