Del Duca Promises a Handgun Ban If Elected Premier

Leader Steven Del Duca says if his party is elected, he will ban handguns across the Province during his first year in office.

The Ontario Liberal party wants to ban handguns.

Leader Steven Del Duca says if his party is elected, he will ban handguns across the Province during his first year in office.

"I’ve had it with Doug Ford’s open for business policy for guns. The Ford Conservatives are putting the interests of the gun lobby ahead of the Ontario victims of gun crime they swore an oath to protect.  The result is handgun violence is spiralling out of control. The choice on handguns is clear, more handguns and gun crime under the Ford Conservatives or a ban on handguns under the Ontario Liberals." 

Del Duca would also accept the Federal government's buy-back program and advocate to extend the ban nationally so that guns could not be funnelled into Ontario through other provinces.
