New gun control legislation proposed by the federal government would likely take precedence over a private member’s bill that aims to prevent Alberta municipalities from passing municipal gun bans, according to a constitutional law expert.
The federal government introduced Bill C-21 on Tuesday. The proposed legislation would give municipalities the power to ban handguns by passing bylaws on their storage and transportation.
Michaela Glasgo, the UCP MLA for Brooks-Medicine Hat, introduced Bill 211 the Municipal Government (Firearms) Amendment Act on Dec. 8.
Wow! Way to go Alberta! I bet Doug Ford will enact similar legislation! Who am I kidding.
