From a sad story come a sprout of good news. This is the ban of assault weapons in Canada. Apparently this ban was on the cards to come in later this year, but in response to a mass shooting in April the ban has been put into action. “These weapons were designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time,” Mr. Trudeau said. “There is no use and no place for such weapons in Canada.”
