Send us a text
In this episode Etobicoke Centre MP Yvan Baker discusses gun control in Canada and the US. Baker says government regulation is important in controlling firearms, but the debate is ongoing.
Baker explains that Canada has traditionally had more restrictive gun laws than the US, but there is a growing desire for stronger action to prevent serious gun crimes. He mentions recent measures such as the banning of about 1500 models of assault-style firearms and the introduction of red flag and yellow flag laws, which allow citizens to report concerns about gun owners.
He also discusses the challenges of gun smuggling from the US and the need for more resources and technology at the border.
The conversation also touches on the potential for mass tort litigation against gun manufacturers.
