Guns and gun violence platforms

Here's what the 2026 BC Provincial Election parties are promising.

BC NDP

  • Set immediate provincial penalties for people caught with illegal guns and involved in gang activity, including suspending driving and business licenses

    "A BC NDP government will also pursue immediate provincial penalties for people caught with illegal guns and involved in gang activity, wherever the law allows, including driving suspensions and loss of access to business licenses. Criminal penalties are set by Ottawa, and the BC NDP will keep pushing for federal changes to keep violent offenders off the street." — bcndp.ca, retrieved 2026-10-13 (the article lists its publish date as 2026-10-14, despite being published the day before)
