Ottawa s plan to stop handgun imports into Canada has some gun owners and experts in Alberta calling it an overreach that could have unintended consequences.
Ever since the federal government announced last week plans to tighten laws on handguns in Canada, sales have been swift at P & D Enterprises, a gun shop in downtown Edmonton.
EDMONTON Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson says the powers that proposed federal gun legislation would give municipalities is not necessarily the right approach to the problem. The federal government announced Tuesday it would make good on its promise to impose gun laws with a voluntary buyback program to purchase now-prohibited firearms in the coming months. Bill C-21 would also allow municipalities to ban handguns in their region using bylaw restrictions on storage and transportation. Normally, mayors are happy to have additional powers delegated to us, but clearly in this case a networked approach is required,” Iveson said Tuesday. I ve spoken to our police chief about this, whose advice I take very seriously, and the measures needed to curb gun violence deal with organized crime, deal with the trafficking of these weapons and are much more complicated than a simple city by city ban.
