CBC has not been able to confirm which models are on Blair's list or when these changes would be implemented.

I read the list is "hush hush" becasue they fear a run on those guns being bought up before the ban can be enacted.

The RCMP confirmed Tuesday that at least one of the firearms used in the Nova Scotia shooting could be described as an "assault-style" firearm. The Firearms Act does not currently classify firearms as "military-style" — that term would have to be defined in the new regulations.

This will be interesting.....I can't imagine it will take the scrutiny of logic

"No aspect of this unthinkable tragedy bears any connection to firearm regulations in Canada. Thus, the implied connection is purely political," he said.

Hear hear !!

Might the “assault weapon” in question be the officer’s carbine that was obtained after she was shot ?

Considering you do not know what the ban is yet, this might be premature thinking.But I am pretty sure this incident was caused by gun violence.We cannot call it "people violence" he did not strangle the victim's to death he shot them,right?

There will still be those that will not believe it, and we all know who that will be !

Even the not so bright on here should be able to figure out at least a year should be mentioned in a story, how do you go from a 2.25million non-disparagement agreement to "There was a "small settlement" and we do not know who said that?

It'll be interesting to see how well this all goes, they keep using the comparisons to the tough Gun laws in NZ and Australia...both political knee jerk actions. The forced bans and buybacks are a dismal failure, as they are largely unenforceable.

Once again, responding to a horrendous crime by inflicting knee-jerk, authoritarian restrictions on innocent people proves to be an ineffective means of convincing people to obey. Specifically, New Zealand's government—which also stepped up censorship and domestic surveillance after bloody attacks on two Christchurch mosques earlier this year—is running into stiff resistance to new gun rules from firearms owners who are slow to surrender now-prohibited weapons and will probably never turn them in.

Officials should have seen it coming.

"Police are anticipating a number of people with banned firearms in their possession won't surrender them," Stuff reported at the end of May, based on internal government documents.

As of last week, only around 700 weapons had been turned over. There are an estimated 1.5 million guns—with an unknown number subject to the new prohibition on semiautomatic firearms—in the country overall.

"In Australia it is estimated that only about 20% of all banned self-loading rifles have been given up to the authorities," wrote Franz Csaszar, professor of criminology at the University of Vienna, after Australia's 1996 compensated confiscation of firearms following a mass murder in Port Arthur, Tasmania. Csaszar put the number of illegally retained arms in Australia at between two and five million.

"Many members of the community still possess grey-market firearms because they did not surrender these during the 1996–97 gun buyback," the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission conceded in a 2016 report. "The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission continues to conservatively estimate that there are more than 260,000 firearms in the illicit firearms market."
