Several civil society organizations, including women's advocates, are calling on the Liberal government to swiftly flesh out firearm legislation passed last year by enacting crucial regulations and directives.

The federal New Democrats are coming under pressure from gun-control advocates to support the Liberals in enacting a permanent ban on assault-style firearms.

A prominent voice for stricter gun control is poised to tell MPs the federal government's efforts to outlaw assault-style firearms have become mired in disinformation.

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

Critics of a planned new measure to remove guns from the wrong hands say it could actually undermine efforts to make people safer.

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.

Federal agencies are trying to boost efforts to trace the origins of guns used in crimes, but it appears jurisdictional hurdles could prevent the measures from going as far as some would like.

As of today, individuals and businesses are no longer able to import restricted handguns into Canada, with limited exceptions.

The federal government plans to fast-track a ban on the import of handguns into the country without the approval of Parliament using a regulatory measure that comes into effect in two weeks, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino announced on Friday, August 5, 2022.

A national freeze on importing, buying, selling or otherwise transferring handguns is a central feature of firearm-control legislation tabled on Monday, May 30, 2022, by the federal Liberals.

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.

Prominent firearm-control advocates are urging the Liberal government to abandon plans to allow provinces to ban handguns, saying regional measures will lead to a disastrous patchwork across Canada.

A leading gun-control group is urging MPs to vote against the Liberal government's new firearms bill, saying it is too weak to salvage.

The co-founder of the Quebec City mosque where six people were killed and many others injured four years ago this week laments the lack of federal progress on handgun control in a new letter to the prime minister.
