Alberta to take control of prosecutions for federally banned firearms: justice minister | FULL

Alberta’s Justice Minister and Solicitor General Tyler Shandro will announce new measures on Thursday to oppose the federal government’s firearms prohibition legislation and the seizure of assault-style weapons.

A federal amendment to Bill C-21 would set out a regulatory ban on what the government calls "assault-style weapons" by putting an evergreen definition for such firearms into law.

It comes after the province passed Bill 1, the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act, on Dec. 8. The bill would allow Smith and her cabinet to pursue a more confrontational approach with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government on a range of issues deemed unconstitutional or an overreach in provincial areas of responsibility.
