Canadian Gun Stores Report Panic Buying Following Trudeau's Plan To Ban Handgun Sales

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler Durden

Several gun shops tell AFP News that people are panic buying pistols as supplies were depleted in the wake of Trudeau's proposed freeze on pistol sales last week. 

"We sold 100 handguns, or almost our entire stock, in the last three days, since the prime minister announced the freeze," Jen Lavigne, co-owner of That Hunting Store in the outskirts of the capital Ottawa. 

A similar situation unfolded at DoubleTap Sports in Toronto, where owner Josko Kovic said Trudeau's announcement sparked "a panic, and people are now rushing out to buy handguns." He added, "almost all stores are sold out, including me." 

Trudeau unveiled the new gun control legislation last Monday following the mass shooting at an elementary school in Texas that killed 19 students, two teachers, and ten at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. 

The prime minister said, "We are capping the number of handguns in this country ... a level of gun violence in our communities that is unacceptable."

Meanwhile, gunshop owners unanimously criticized Trudeau's freeze, which still has to be passed by parliament.
