Add Your Name: Strengthening Gun Control in Canada
One death from gun violence is one too many. That’s why Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government took action to ban 1,500 models of assault-style weapons and keep our communities safe.
Now, we’re continuing to move forward with every step necessary to fight the illegal gun market and protect those at risk from gun violence. The Liberal government will move forward with the strongest measures to combat gun violence that our country has ever seen, including:
- Enhancing the capacity of the RCMP and the Canada Border Services Agency to combat the illegal importation of firearms.
- Backing up municipalities that ban handguns through bylaws with serious federal and criminal penalties, including jail time, for people who violate these municipal rules.
- Creating “red flag” and “yellow flag” laws to help combat intimate partner violence and gender-based violence, and self-harm involving firearms.
- And much more
While Conservative politicians want to weaken gun control, we know that Canadians want real action to combat gun violence and keep our communities safe – and we’re continuing to move forward with our strong plan. Are you with us?
