Canada Bans More Types of Firearms, Proposes Donating Prohibited Guns to Ukraine (Watch Video)
Canada banned 324 additional firearm types, expanding a 2020 prohibition. Some banned firearms may be donated to Ukraine, as officials explore ways to assist its defense against Russia.
Canada announced a ban on 324 additional firearm varieties, targeting guns deemed suitable for battlefields rather than hunting or sport shooting, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc confirmed. This builds on the 2020 prohibition of over 1,500 firearm models, now expanded to more than 2,300. The decision follows gun-control advocates’ concerns that many assault-style firearms were excluded earlier. LeBlanc emphasised that the newly banned firearms can no longer be used. Furthermore, Canada is exploring a plan to donate some of these prohibited firearms to Ukraine to aid in its defense against Russia. Defense Minister Bill Blair noted Ukrainian authorities have expressed interest in the guns, marking a potential international support effort.
