Sir — In the so-called superpower America, dozens of people die every day in firing because of its deep-rooted gun culture. In that country for the last 50 years, there is only a debate going on over abolishing the gun culture. The Democratic Party is trying to ban it but the Republican Party does not want to allow this to happen. The Americans believe it is their constitutional right to own and carry a gun, and that it can’t be taken away. America looks completely divided and helpless on this issue. But their neighbour Canada has already taken measures to avoid such tragedies.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that he has introduced a law in Parliament to ban the purchase and sale of all handguns in Canada. He rightly said that it is not necessary for anyone to have a gun. Therefore, its promotion and supply must be stopped. Under this law, it would also revoke firearms licenses of the gun owners involved in domestic violence or criminal harassment. That is what the White House and Capitol Hill should have done, as it was done and adopted by the Canadian Parliament. Well done, Justin Trudeau. Keep it up!
