Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says “some” guns used for hunting will be confiscated by his government’s proposed firearms restriction legislation, although he said in the House of Commons last week that the government “is not interested” in illegalizing hunting guns.

“Our focus now is on saying OK, there are some guns, yes, that we’re going to have to take away from people who were using them to hunt,” Trudeau told CTV News in a year-end interview, the full version of which will air on Dec. 31.
