Canada proposes revised ban on assault-style firearms.

The Canadian government has proposed a ban on assault-style firearms that would apply once legislation now before Parliament comes into force. The government plans to make regulations through the Firearms Act to ensure that guns are classified correctly before entering the Canadian market. The government also plans to recreate a firearms advisory committee that will make recommendations on the classification of guns now on the market. The committee will include rural and northern residents, Indigenous people, industry leaders, law enforcement, and gun control advocates.
