Evolving on the announcement made in May, Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau made further announcement in the ban on handgun-ownership yesterday i.e. October 22, 2022. He said, “In May our government introduced measures to implement a national freeze on handgun ownership. Today our national freeze on handguns is coming into force.”

News agency ANI tweeted, “Canada bans new handgun sales in latest gun control action, reports Reuters.” It further wrote PM Trudeau’s statement which said, “We have frozen the market for handguns in this country,” Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said, adding “As we see gun violence continue to rise… we have an obligation to take action.”
