TORONTO (Sputnik) - The Canadian government is introducing an assault weapon buy-back program in a follow-up to last year’s sweeping regulatory ban, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Tuesday.
The program is just one of several measures included in Bill C-21 - an Act to amend certain Acts and to make certain consequential amendments (firearms) - introduced in the House of Commons this morning by Public Safety Minister Bill Blair.
“We will move with a buy-back program in the coming months,” Trudeau told reporters.

The decision released today by Federal Court Associate Chief Justice Jocelyn Gagné means the hearings will begin again, to a final ruling, after several of the gun owners and firearm businesses sought a suspension of the prohibition until a court ruling on its legality.

Statistics Canada reported that the number of violent firearm offences in Canada jumped by 21 per cent in 2019, the fifth year of rising gun violence in a row, but gun control advocates and firearm lobbies are casting blame on different targets.
The two sides have engaged in a heated online confrontation over the rise, as a Federal Court case over the Trudeau government’s prohibition of thousands of semi-automatic rifles looms in the background.
