Prime Minister announces ban on assault-style firearms
总理宣布禁止突击式枪支
2020年5月1日 安大略省渥太华 总理办公室
加拿大总理贾斯廷·特鲁多今天宣布禁止1500多种型号的突击型枪支和衍生产品，他说：“枪支暴力正在导致人们失去生命，家庭正在悲伤，并让社区遭受苦难。这必须终结。设计用于军事用途的突击式枪支不应该在加拿大出现。通过在我们的街道上移除这些枪支，我们将限制与枪支有关的暴力与破坏性影响，并帮助使我们的国家更加安全。”
公共安全和应急准备部长，比尔·布莱尔说，“禁止使用这些枪支将立即冻结这些突击式枪支的市场，这些枪支不适合在加拿大打猎或体育射击的用途。这些危险的枪支是为战场设计，而不是为社区设计的。但由于这些枪支可以有效地使死亡人数最大化，因此他们被悲惨地用于瞄准妇女、学生和参与宗教祷告的信徒。今天的新政策是更广泛的枪支战略的第一步，该战略将解决非法活动、暴力和自我伤害。我们的政府还致力于保护公共安全，同时确保对猎人、农民和遵守法律的休闲性枪支所有者给予尊重和公平的对待。”
加拿大司法部长兼总检察长，大卫·拉梅蒂说：“为战场设计的武器在我们的街道或社区中不应该出现。加拿大人给予了我们明确的任务授权，禁止使用这些危险的武器。这正是我们今天宣布的针对性措施所采取的行动。”
任何一个加拿大人被枪支暴力杀害，都是难以承受之重。涉及枪支的暴力犯罪继续造成破坏性的影响，伤害全国各地的社区以及因此而痛失亲人的加拿大人。诸如最近发生的新斯科舍省悲剧，2017年的魁北克伊斯兰文化中心的袭击，以及1989年在蒙特利尔理工学院发生的大屠杀等等事件，都永远不应该发生。因此，加拿大政府正在采取措施打击枪支暴力，并帮助确保我们的安全。
禁止的1500多种型号的突击型枪支和衍生产品，一共有九个类别，以及两种则通过特征来识别的枪支。这些枪支的其中一些组件也被禁止。
这些新禁止的枪支和部件将不能合法使用、出售或进口。枪支所有者还必须将它们继续安全地存放，并且只能在有限的情况下将它们转移和运输。这些措施将从我们的社区中消除设计用于军事用途的危险枪支，并有助于确保加拿大家庭和社区不再遭受枪支暴力荼毒。
在今日开始，将有两年的过渡期，保护新禁止枪支的拥有者在采取措施遵守这些新规则的同时，不用承担刑事责任。根据《刑法》条款，这项为期两年的赦免令的有效期到2022年4月30日截止。依照原住民或条约权利而允许狩猎的人，以及为维持自己或家人的生活而狩猎或诱捕的人，都将可以从此段赦免期条例之外获得特殊处理。这些特殊免除条件将允许他们在有限的情况下继续使用新近禁止的枪支，直到找到合适的替代品为止。在赦免期结束后，所有枪支拥有者必须遵守该禁令。
加拿大联邦政府意于尽快实施一项回购计划，以安全地移除这些枪支，并期待尽早引入立法，与议会合作并开展公众咨询。
事实简要
• 加拿大目前有超过100,000种限制类枪支，其中包括新政策现在禁止的型号。此数字还不包括不受注册登记要求约束的其他新禁止的型号。
• 在未事先与警务人员安排安全有计划的运送或接送之前，个人不得将枪支运送到警察局。在COVID-19大流行、保持身体间距离的要求生效期间，个人不应交出枪支。
• 枪支拥有者必须根据存储要求妥善保存枪支，等候更多有关回购计划的信息。
• 刑法赦免期到2022年4月30日截止，以保护合法所有人免于承担刑事责任，并使他们能够遵守法律。在赦免期间，新禁止的枪支只能出于特定目的在加拿大境内转让或运输。
• 除非您是依照狩猎权条约而狩猎的原住民，或以狩猎为生的猎人，否则根据赦免规定您只能进行转让或运输，例如：
o 由经过批准的商户将它们拆解失效
o 将它们退还到合法所有者的住所
o 合法出口
o 将它们无偿交还警察

For immediate release
Prime Minister announces ban on assault-style firearms
May 1, 2020 Ottawa, Ontario Prime Minister’s Office
One Canadian killed by gun violence is one too many. Violent crimes involving firearms continue to have devastating impacts on communities across the country, and on Canadians who have lost loved ones to these crimes. Events like the recent tragedy in Nova Scotia, the attack in 2017 at the Centre culturel islamique de Québec, and the massacre that took place in 1989 at école Polytechnique de Montréal should never have happened. That is why the Government of Canada is introducing measures to combat gun violence, and help keep us safe.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today announced the ban of over 1,500 models and variants of assault-style firearms. These models represent nine categories of firearms and two types identified by characteristic. Some of their components are also prohibited.
The newly prohibited firearms and components cannot be legally used, sold, or imported. Owners must also continue to safely store them, and may only transfer and transport them under limited circumstances. These measures will remove dangerous firearms designed for military use from our communities, and help ensure that Canadian families and communities no longer suffer from gun violence.
There will be a transition period of two years to protect owners of newly prohibited firearms from criminal liability while they take steps to comply with these new rules. This two-year amnesty order under the Criminal Code is in effect until April 30, 2022. There are exceptions under the amnesty for Indigenous peoples exercising Aboriginal or treaty rights to hunt, and for those who hunt or trap to sustain themselves or their families. These exceptions will allow for the continued use of newly prohibited firearms in limited circumstances until a suitable replacement can be found. By the end of the amnesty period, all firearms owners must comply with the ban.
The Government of Canada intends to implement a buy-back program as soon as possible to safely remove these firearms and to introduce legislation as early as possible, working with Parliament and through public consultation.
Quotes
“Because of gun violence, people are dying, families are grieving, and communities are suffering. It must end. Assault-style firearms designed for military use have no place in Canada. By removing them from our streets, we will limit the devastating effects of gun-related violence and help make our country safer.”
—The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
“Prohibiting these firearms immediately freezes the market in Canada for the most prevalent assault-style firearms that are not suitable for hunting or sports shooting purposes. These dangerous firearms are designed for the battlefield, not for communities, but have been used tragically to target women, students and worshippers because they are efficient in maximizing fatalities. Today’s initiative is the first step in a broader firearms strategy that will address illegal activities, violence, and self-harm. Our government is also committed to protecting public safety, while ensuring hunters, farmers, and law-abiding recreational firearms owners are also treated respectfully and fairly.”
—The Hon. Bill Blair, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
“Weapons designed for the battlefield have no place on our streets or in our communities. Canadians gave us a clear mandate to ban these dangerous weapons. That is exactly what we are doing with the targeted measures we are announcing today.”
—The Hon. David Lametti, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Quick Facts
• In Canada, there are currently over 100,000 restricted firearms among the models that are now prohibited. This number does not include other newly-prohibited models that were not subject to registration requirements.
• An individual should not deliver a firearm to a police station without first making arrangements with a police officer for a safe and scheduled delivery or pick up. Individuals should not surrender their firearm while physical distancing requirements are in effect during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Firearms owners must keep their firearms securely stored in accordance with the storage requirements until more information on the buy-back program is available.
• A Criminal Code amnesty is in place until April 30, 2022, to protect lawful owners from criminal liability and to enable them to comply with the law. Under the amnesty, the newly prohibited firearms can only be transferred or transported within Canada for specific purposes.
• Unless you are an Indigenous person exercising treaty rights to hunt or a sustenance hunter, you can only transfer or transport in accordance with the amnesty, such as to:
o have them deactivated by an approved business
o return them to a lawful owner’s residence
o export them lawfully
o surrender them to police without compensation
