Canada’s freeze on buying, selling handguns is now in effect.

A freeze on importing, buying, selling or otherwise transferring handguns went into effect Oct. 21.

In May, the Liberals announced a plan to freeze the number of handguns in Canada, in order to help quell firearm-related violence.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the tabling of Bill C-21, a firearms-control legislation that would freeze the import, sale and transfer of handguns, on May 30.
