Can we still buy handguns? I knew there are some changes but I didn’t exactly follow it. I checked online shops where I used to buy handguns, but they don’t have any! Thanks.

You can for the time being, however most people have purchased whatever is left. Right now if you buy a hand gun (depending on province) expect to wait at least 2-3 months, or 12 if you’re in Ontario
