加拿大宣布临时禁止手枪进口Canada puts in place temporary handgun import ban 


加拿大民众应该在社区中感到安全。正因如此,加拿大联邦政府制定了一个全面的计划,要让枪支远离我们的街道,投入更多资源到我们的社区。这个全面计划的一个核心部分是最近提出的《C-21法案》。该法案直接应对性别暴力案件中枪支所起到的令人担忧的作用;严厉打击有组织犯罪;最重要的是要在加拿大全面冻结手枪的销售、转让和所有权。 

8月5日,外交部长乔美兰(Mélanie Joly)阁下、公共安全部长马守诺(Marco Mendicino)阁下宣布暂时禁止限制级手枪的进口。此举将有助于推进全国冻结手枪的最终效应尽快生效。这一临时禁令意味着个人和商户将不能再进口手枪到加拿大,除非是与C-21法案所规定的相同例外豁免情况。这些限制令将于2022年8月19日正式生效,并将一直延续到全国冻结手枪的措施开始实施为止。 

没有任何一个项目或举措可以独自解决枪支暴力的挑战。正因如此,在联邦政府保护加拿大民众安全之全面计划中,《C-21法案》以及全国冻结手枪措施是其中的两个要素。这一系列措施从边境开始,我们在边境增加资源,用以打击走私并阻止枪支进入加拿大。我们还投资预防犯罪计划,以解决枪支犯罪的根源因素,阻止枪支犯罪于萌发之前。最后,我们禁止类似AR-15这样的攻击性武器,并即将启动强制回购计划,要让这些用于战争的武器彻底离开我们的民间社区。 

引述 

外交部长乔美兰(Mélanie Joly)阁下: 

“我们知道,即使只是一个加拿大人死于枪支暴力,都已是太多。作为政府,我们有责任确保加拿大继续成为世界上最安全的地方之一。今天宣布的进口禁令将有助于让枪支远离我们的街道;与此同时,我们正在努力推进C-21法案,以尽快遏制枪支暴力。” 

公共安全部长马守诺(Marco Mendicino)阁下: 

“作为部长,我的首要任务是守护加拿大人在他们自己社区中的安全。今天宣布的措施进一步印证,我们正在竭尽一切所能抗击国内的枪支犯罪。这一举措是我们应对枪支暴力综合计划的一个关键支柱,其他措施还包括投资预防犯罪的项目、边境行动、禁止攻击性武器以及C-21法案——这是加拿大近代以来对枪支暴力问题采取的最重大行动。”

Canadians deserve to feel safe in their communities. That is why the Government of

Canada has a comprehensive plan that gets firearms off our streets and more

resources into our communities. A central part of this is the recently introduced Bill C-21.

The bill addresses the alarming role of guns in gender based violence, gets tough on

organized crime and most significantly introduces a national freeze on the sale, transfer

and ownership of handguns, anywhere in Canada.

The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Honourable Marco

Mendicino, Minister of Public Safety, today announced a temporary import ban on the

importation of restricted handguns. This will help bring the ultimate impact of the

national handgun freeze into force sooner. This temporary ban means that individuals

and businesses will no longer be able to import handguns into Canada, subject to

narrow exceptions that mirror those in Bill C-21. These restrictions will take effect on

August 19th, 2022, and will last until the national freeze comes into force.

No single program or initiative can tackle the challenge of gun violence on its own. That

is why Bill C-21 and the national freeze on handguns are two of the many elements in

the Government’s comprehensive plan to keep Canadians safe. This begins at our

borders, where we’ve added resources to fight smuggling and stop guns from coming

into Canada. We’re also investing in prevention programs to tackle the root causes of

gun crime and stop it before it starts. Finally, we banned assault-style weapons like AR-

15s, and will soon begin a buyback program to get these weapons of war out of our

communities once and for all.

Quotes

“We know that one Canadian killed by gun violence is one too many. As a government,

it is our duty to ensure that Canada remains one of the safest places to live in the world.

The import ban announced today will help to keep guns stay off our streets as we work

towards implementing Bill C-21, reducing gun violence in the immediate term.

– Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs―My top priority as Minister is keeping Canadians safe in their communities. Today’s

announcement is further proof that we are using all tools at our disposal to fight gun

crime in this country. It is a key pillar of our plan to address it, along with investments in

prevention, action at our borders, a ban on assault-style weapons and Bill C-21 –

Canada’s most significant action on gun violence in a generation.‖

– Marco Mendicino, Minister of Public Safety
