ICYMI: Moe calls Ottawa's proposed new handgun freeze 'virtue signalling'
Owner Kevin Kopp said there has been an “uptick” in sales in his store, which usually happens after the government makes similar moves with gun legislation.
Premier Scott Moe, speaking with reporters in Regina, called the changes “problematic,” saying they appear to go after law-abiding gun owners. “If the federal government thought handguns were causing violent crime in Canada, they would have just outright banned them instead of ‘freezing’ them,” the statement said.
The proposed gun law changes also seek to create a “red flag” law that would allow courts to grant emergency prohibition or limitation to access orders, requiring people who are deemed a danger to themselves or others to surrender their firearms, while protecting the person applying for the orders and their identity.
