The Trudeau government wants to act quickly to ban 9 specific types of weapons, many of which are linked to tragedies in the country, and two important categories, which will prohibit 1,500 variants of firearms, Radio-Canada learned.

Ottawa could implement the first part of the reform promised this week during the last election campaign to ban military-type assault weapons.

Radio-Canada was able to obtain the list of weapons that the Minister of Public Safety wants to ban the import, sale and transfer to Canada.

Three criteria guided the government in developing this list. First, it targets weapons with a "semi-automatic mechanism with sustained rapid-fire potential (a tactical or military design capable of accommodating a large-capacity magazine)". Then it targets weapons of modern design. Finally, the government is targeting weapons present in large volumes on the market, that is to say more than 1,000.

In detail, the “provisional list of firearms whose prohibition is recommended” specifically includes nine weapons:

Carbine M16, M4, AR-10 and AR-15 (dramas by Sandy Hook, Las Vegas and Orlando, in the United States, and that of Christchurch, in New Zealand / estimated number in circulation: 83,572)
Ruger mini-14 rifle (Polytechnique drama / estimated number in circulation: 16,859)
Swiss Arms, Classic Green model (estimated number in circulation: 1,342)
M14 rifle (Moncton drama / estimated number in circulation: 5,229)
Vz58 rifle (drama of the Quebec Mosque / estimated number in circulation: 11,593)
Cz Scorpion EVO 3 pistol rifle (estimated number circulating: 1,813)
Beretta CX4 Storm rifle (Dawson College / estimated number in circulation: 1513)
Rifle and pistol SIG Sauer SIG MCX and SIG MPX (estimated number in circulation: 1000)
Armament Robinson XCR (estimated number in circulation: 1834)
And this list also includes two categories:

Caliber more than 20 mm
Initial energy of more than 10,000 joules
Public Safety Canada based its estimate on the 2012 firearms records, which has been increased by 25% to take into account the growth in the number of firearms since that time.

By combining these 9 types of weapons and these 2 categories, the government would be to ban 1,500 variants of firearms in the country.

According to our information, the government could act this week to put in place this ban. Regulatory changes could be published in the Official Canada Gazette as early as Friday.

It is for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to make the decision on this matter.
