Canadian civil society pushes for immediate implementation of firearm regulations aimed at domestic abusers.

Canadian civil society organizations, including women’s advocates, are urging the Liberal government to promptly implement firearm regulations passed last year aimed at preventing domestic abusers from accessing guns.

The legislation also bans assault-style firearms, excluding those already in circulation.
