Canada should introduce a total ban on the buying and selling of all handguns, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said.

加拿大總理賈斯汀·特魯多表示，加拿大應(yīng)立法全面禁止手槍買賣。

His government is proposing a new law that would freeze private ownership of all short-barrelled firearms.

特魯多政府計(jì)劃推出一項(xiàng)新法案，限制私人對(duì)各類短槍的所有權(quán)。

The legislation would not ban the ownership of handguns outright - but would make it illegal to buy them.

該法案不會(huì)完全剝奪私人對(duì)手槍的所有權(quán)，但是會(huì)立法禁止私人購(gòu)買手槍。

Mr Trudeau's proposal comes days after a deadly shooting at a Texas primary school, in the neighbouring US, killed 21 people.

就在特魯多提出該法案幾天前，鄰國(guó)美國(guó)得克薩斯州的一所小學(xué)發(fā)生了一起致命槍擊案，導(dǎo)致21人死亡。

The bill, which was presented to Canada's parliament on Monday, makes it impossible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in the country.

5月30日呈交加拿大國(guó)會(huì)的這一法案禁止在全加任何地方買賣、運(yùn)輸和進(jìn)口手槍。

"Other than using firearms for sport shooting and hunting, there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives," Mr Trudeau told reporters.

特魯多告訴記者稱：“除了用槍從事射擊運(yùn)動(dòng)和打獵，加拿大的任何人在日常生活中都沒(méi)有理由用到槍�！�

"As we see gun violence continue to rise, it is our duty to keep taking action," he said.

他指出：“正如我們所看到的，槍支暴力愈演愈烈，對(duì)此我們的職責(zé)就是持續(xù)采取行動(dòng)�！�

It marks the most ambitious attempt yet by his government to restrict access to firearms.

這是特魯多政府迄今為止最雄心勃勃的限槍舉措。

The bill would also require rifle magazines to be reconfigured so they can hold no more than five rounds at a time.

該法案將規(guī)定步槍彈匣更改配置，每個(gè)彈匣一次最多只能容納5發(fā)子彈。

And it would take away firearms licences from gun owners involved in domestic violence or criminal harassment.

此外，涉嫌家暴或刑事騷擾的槍支所有者將被吊銷持槍許可證。

Unlike in the US, gun ownership is not enshrined in Canada's constitution, but firearms are still popular, especially in rural parts of the country.

和美國(guó)不同，槍支所有權(quán)并沒(méi)有被寫(xiě)進(jìn)加拿大憲法，但是槍支在加拿大仍然很普遍，尤其在加拿大的鄉(xiāng)村地區(qū)。

Canada already has stricter rules on gun ownership than its southern neighbour and records fewer firearm incidents every year.

加拿大對(duì)槍支所有權(quán)的規(guī)定本來(lái)就比美國(guó)更嚴(yán)格，每年記錄在案的槍擊事件也更少。

For example, all guns must be kept locked and unloaded and anyone wishing to buy a firearm must undergo extensive background checks.

舉例而言，加拿大規(guī)定，所有槍支都必須閉鎖并清空彈匣，任何想購(gòu)買槍支的人都必須接受廣泛的背景調(diào)查。

But there have been calls in recent years to tighten gun legislation there even further, especially following a number of deadly shootings.

但是近年來(lái)有人呼吁實(shí)施更嚴(yán)格的控槍法規(guī)，尤其是在發(fā)生了多起致命槍擊案之后。

In April 2020, a gunman posing as a police officer killed 22 people during a shooting spree in Nova Scotia - the deadliest in Canada's history.

2020年4月，一名持槍者假扮警察在新斯科舍省多地掃射導(dǎo)致22人死亡，這是加拿大有史以來(lái)最致命的槍擊案。

Within days, Mr Trudeau announced an immediate ban on 1,500 different kinds of military-grade and assault-style weapons.

幾天前，特魯多剛宣布了一項(xiàng)針對(duì)1500種軍用武器和攻擊性武器的即時(shí)生效的禁令。

The new bill would effectively limit the number of legally-owned handguns in Canada to present levels.

新法案將把加拿大國(guó)內(nèi)合法擁有的手槍數(shù)量限制在現(xiàn)有水平內(nèi)。
