Feds say these banned firearms are for battlefields, and may go to Ukraine

The Liberal government has outlawed another 324 firearm varieties — guns it says belong on the battlefield, not in the hands of hunters or sport shooters.

The move follows the May 2020 ban of 1,500 makes and models of firearms, a number that grew to more than 2,000 by November of this year as new variants were identified.

The latest prohibition of hundreds more, announced Thursday, follows expressions of concern from gun-control advocates that many assault-style firearms were not covered by the 2020 ban.

The measure came on the eve of the 35th anniversary of a gunman’s murder of 14 women at the École Polytechnique in Montreal.
