Canadians rush to gun stores to buy weapons while they still can as Trudeau’s government proposed a freeze on pistol sales
Several gun stores in British Columbia province saw lines out the door within hours of the liberal leader's declaration.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's proposed freeze on pistol sales — which he announced in the wake of a series of high-profile mass shootings in the United States — has pushed some Canadians to rush out to gun stores while they still can. Several gun stores in British Columbia province saw lines out the door within hours of the liberal leader's declaration on Monday. Other shops across Canada said they sold out within days.
At DoubleTap Sports in Toronto, a similar scene unfolded. Owner Josko Kovic said the government announcement "created a panic, and people are now rushing out to buy handguns."According to government estimates, there are more than one million handguns in Canada, which has a population of 38 million people. Some 2,500 stores sell pistols in the country.
