The liberal government reviewed the draft firearms regulations to ensure that the person purchasing a weapon actually has a valid license.
When Bill C-71 was approved in 2019, the government said it would require sellers to verify the validity of a firearms license before selling a firearm such as a rifle.
However, the proposed regulations did not include any obligation on the part of the seller to verify the firearm buyer.
The final regulations announced today have closed that loophole. Bill C-71 also requires sellers to keep records of firearms transactions. Additionally, the legislation expands background checks that would determine eligibility for a firearms license for the person’s entire life, not just the past five years.
