A Peaceful Mountain Town in Western Canada Is Shaken by Deadly Shooting
“After the 2020 massacre, the federal government unveiled a sweeping plan to overhaul gun laws. The measures included a ban on 1,500 types of assault-style weapons that was later widened to include other firearms, and a freeze on the sale of handguns. The government also instituted a gun buyback program that has proved controversial and logistically difficult to implement. Critics and opposition politicians say the measures punish law-abiding gun owners and will not make Canada safer. Some provinces have said they would not participate in the program.”
