Canada is introducing a bill that would ban the sale of handguns, less than a week after 19 children and two teachers were killed in a school shooting in Texas
.
"The day this legislation goes into effect it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns in Canada," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters.Canada already has much tougher gun ownership restrictions than the US, but the, have sparked concerns about gun violence worldwide.
The type of gun used in the attack, the AR-15 rifle, was banned from being used or sold in Canada two years ago, along with about 1,500 other models of assault weapons.Speaking alongside Mr Trudeau, public safety minister Marco Mendicino said a mandatory programme to buy back and compensate owners of such weapons would be launched soon.
The new legislation, Bill C-21, proposes that those involved in acts of domestic violence or criminal harassment, such as stalking, should have their firearms licences revoked.
