National handgun "freeze" among new firearm regulations proposed by Trudeau government | FULL

A national freeze on importing, buying or selling handguns is a central feature of firearm-control legislation tabled by the federal Liberals.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement alongside members of his Liberal government on Monday.

The government says the bill would also allow for the removal of gun licences from people involved in acts of domestic violence or criminal harassment, such as stalking.

The Liberals plan to fight gun smuggling and trafficking by increasing criminal penalties, providing more tools to investigate firearms crimes and strengthening border measures.

The bill would create a new “red flag” law allowing courts to require that people considered a danger to themselves or others surrender their firearms to police.

The Liberals also say they will require long-gun magazines to be permanently altered so they can never hold more than five rounds, as well as ban the sale and transfer of large-capacity magazines under the Criminal Code.
