It was just two years ago that Canada banned many semi-automatic rifles, while it also imposed new gun control laws that included expanded background checks.
As part of the latest efforts, Canada has implemented a national freeze on handguns, which is meant to prevent individuals from buying, selling, or transferring handguns within the country. As part of the new legislation, the Government of Canada will require that long-gun magazines be permanently altered so that they can never hold more than five rounds, while the sale and transfer of “large-capacity magazines” will be banned under the Criminal Code.
