    Hand guns are meh, so are hunting rifles. Ban military style weapons and big magazines. These atrocities are not being committed with pop guns.

    Most murders are committed with handguns. This post was edited by my2cents at May 31, 2022 10:59 AM MDT

    Singleton murders. Not mass shootings.

    Not the topic. The topic is banning of handguns.

    But you are more concerned about the less 100 people killed by mass shooting annually than the approx 8,000 murdered by handguns?? This post was edited by my2cents at June 1, 2022 3:25 AM MDT

    I think it is just a bill right now. There is a lot of sensible gun control measures in it so it will make the average Canadian safer and it will make it harder for criminals. So I think it will be welcomed by most Canadians and maybe there would be lots of Americans that would be in favor of it. I included a link to what the new legislation is about. Cheers!

    I personally do not consider banning purchase, selling, transferring and importing of handguns....common sense gun control measures. 

    Thank you for the link. News here made it sound like a done deal.
