Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday a bill that would place a national freeze on handgun ownership across Canada.

"What this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada," Trudeau said in a news conference.

"In other words, we're capping the market," he added.

The announcement came the same day Canada indefinitely extended their travel ban for unvaccinated Canadians.
