The Liberal government has outlawed another 324 firearm varieties — guns it says belong on the battlefield, not in the hands of hunters or sport shooters.

The Canadian government has recently expanded its firearms ban by prohibiting an additional 324 types of firearms, bringing the total number of banned models to over 1,000. This decision, announced by Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, aims to address public safety concerns by removing these weapons from civilian use. Alongside this ban, the government has proposed a novel solution for the disposal of these firearms: donating them to Ukraine. This initiative not only seeks to manage the surplus of banned firearms but also supports Ukraine in its ongoing conflict by potentially bolstering their armory. The move has sparked discussions on gun control, international aid, and the logistics of safely transferring these weapons.
