OTTAWA, ON (August 14, 2023): On November 22, 2021, the federal government presented Bill C-21, aiming to entrench in law aspects of the 2020 Order in Council, banning “assault-style firearms,” codifying the regulatory freeze on the purchase, transfer, and inheritance of handguns, and further complicating Canada’s “red flag” laws.
In this new paper, Aiming off target: gun policy in Canada, Noah Schwartz and Tim Thurley examine the state of Canada’s current gun policies and offer recommendations for improvement. In essence, current policies will have little effect on violent crime but they will have significant adverse impacts on hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Canadian gun owners, including members of Indigenous communities, and the businesses and networks supporting them.
