Why Justin Trudeau is targeting handguns with new law
About this episode
Canada’s gun laws are facing a host of updates, including a freeze on new handgun sales and imports.
The bill replaces an earlier version previously proposed by the feds, and also includes a mandatory buyback of assault-style guns previously targeted by the government.
National Post political reporter Chris Nardi joins Dave Breakenridge to discuss what’s covered under the bill, how this could impact current handgun owners, and why politics may make this an easier sell for the Liberals.
