CANADA-POLITICS-GUNS

"Sales have been brisk," said Jen Lavigne, co-owner of That Hunting Store in a strip mall on the outskirts of the capital Ottawa, nestled between a barbershop, a Chinese buffet restaurant and a conservative lawmaker's constituency office. "We sold 100 handguns or almost our entire stock in the last three days since the prime minister announced the freeze," she said. (Photo by Dave Chan / AFP) (Photo by DAVE CHAN/AFP via Getty Images)
