Gun stores in Canada have seen handguns fly off the shelves, with many selling out altogether after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced gun control legislation freezing all pistol purchases.
Many shops in the country have now reportedly sold out of pistols entirely, despite extremely restrictive laws already in place in the country which can make the purchase of a handgun onerously difficult.by the AFP, every gun store owner who spoke to the agency openly derided Trudeau’s declaration that he would ban the sale of handguns, while also saying that they had all seen a massive surge in pistol sales since he made the announcement last week.
“We sold 100 handguns, or almost our entire stock, in the last three days, since the Prime Minister announced the freeze,” said the co-owner of That Hunting Store, Jen Lavigne, before emphasising that the ban would only “hurt legal gun owners”.
