Canada Bans 324 Firearms, Considers Donating To Ukraine

Canada announced on Thursday the prohibition of an additional 324 firearm varieties, labeling them as weapons more suited for the battlefield rather than for hunting or sport shooting. This decision follows the banning of 1,500 firearm makes and models in May 2020, a number that has since increased to over 2,000 as new variants were identified.

The latest restriction, revealed by the Public Safety Minister, means that these firearms are no longer permitted for use. The government is also collaborating with Ukraine to potentially donate these guns to support Ukraine's efforts against Russia's invasion.
