Handgun sales on the rise

Gun shop owners say handgun sales in Edmonton are
skyrocketing since Prime Minister Paul Martin’s promise to
ban them.

The Liberal Leader made the promise a few weeks ago during a
campaign stop in Toronto.

Phil Harnois is a former police officer who now owns a gun
shop. Since the Liberal announcement, he says handgun sales
have increased dramatically.

He says his distributors have virtually nothing left in
their warehouses, something that is very unusual.

“There’s always some odd piece here or there depending on
the time of year,” he told CBC News.

Harnois says the Liberal promise has pushed people to buy
guns before the ban is imposed.

The Liberals say the goal of the handgun ban is to make
communities safer.
