Strengthening Gun Control

Our Liberal team is taking real action to strengthen gun controls and build safer communities.

We’ve banned more than 1,500 types of military-style assault weapons and it’s now illegal to buy, sell, and transfer handguns in Canada, but Pierre Poilievre and his reckless Conservatives want to roll back our progress to keep Canadians safe.

Our plan implements some of the strongest gun control measures in over 40 years and puts the safety of Canadians first, while respecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners. While our team will keep strengthening gun control, Pierre Poilievre and Conservatives want to weaken them.
