On May 30, 2022, Trudeau announced his intention to prohibit buying, selling, transferring, and importing handguns—effectively banning them.

This comes two years after Trudeau prohibited over 1,500 types of firearms, criminalizing hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Canadian firearms owners overnight.

Trudeau’s dictates are inconsistent with the data. Licensed firearm owners are law-abiding citizens. Crimes committed with firearms are by unlicensed criminals using stolen or illegally purchased firearms smuggled from the USA.

The Conservative Party has done a horrible job at protecting firearm rights. They have moved to the left to appeal to Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. In 2021, former leader Erin O’Toole stated he would not repeal Trudeau’s bans. 

There is no reason to expect a new Conservative leader will change anything. They still want seats in the big cities more than they want to defend gun owners who mostly live outside of them.

The People’s Party of Canada is the first choice for Canadian firearm owners. We are the only federal political party that views firearm rights as an integral part of Canadian heritage, and that believes we must protect the property rights of firearms owners.

Our firearms policy is comprehensive and common-sense: you can read it here.
