AR-15

A House of Commons committee heard criticism, as well as some measured support, as Indigenous leaders testified Tuesday about Liberal efforts to outlaw assault-style firearms.

Feds eyeing 'variety of options' for planned firearm buyback program: Mendicino

A firearm advocacy group says the Liberal government's effort to ban a wide variety of rifles is being driven by ideology, not public safety.

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino is accusing the Conservatives of "whipping up fear" that the Liberal government is outlawing ordinary long guns and hunting rifles.

The Liberals say their proposed definition of a prohibited assault-style firearm applies only to guns that belong on the battlefield.

Prominent gun-control groups are urging MPs to legislatively enshrine a comprehensive ban on firearms the government outlawed using regulatory orders more than two years ago.

An umbrella group of gun-control advocates says any exceptions to the federal handgun freeze should be very narrowly defined.

The federal government is proposing $1,337 in compensation for turning in an AR-15 rifle under a mandatory buyback program.

Over two days, in two acts, the small southwest Texas town of Uvalde has been the unwitting global stage for a real-world illustration of the defining tension in American life.

Advocates who led the push to ban an array of assault-style firearms are telling federal lawmakers that government regulations prohibiting these guns are being circumvented by Canadian manufacturers.

As a new year dawned, the government's throne-speech commitments, unfurled just weeks earlier, were grabbing headlines and galvanizing the attention of federal policy-makers.

More than a dozen Canadian cities hosted marches on Saturday, March 24, 2018, to call for stricter gun control laws in both Canada and the United States, adding their voices to a global movement calling for change in the wake of a high school shooting that left 17 people dead in Parkland, Fla.

The Armalite-15 is one of the most infamous firearms of the modern era, used in at least four mass shootings in the U.S. in recent years.

The numbers are staggering. There could be up to 51 times more annual gun-related deaths in the U.S. versus those in Canada, according to the most recent Canadian data.
