'Gun stores in Canada are reporting a surge in sales of firearms amid the coronavirus outbreak coinciding with fears the country could soon implement stricter gun laws. '
'"We are seeing a surge in sales," Ross Faulkner, owner of The Gun Dealer in McAdam, a village in New Brunswick, told The Canadian Press. '
'In a similar trend as seen in the U.S., where gun stores have reported selling out of stock and customers queueing around the block, stores in Canada are also experiencing an unprecedented rise in sales as the country deals with COVID-19. '
'There are more than 720 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Canada, with nine deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University. '
'The rise in gun sales is also occurring while Canada is debating bringing in gun reform in the country, including a ban on military-style assault weapons and allowing municipalities to decide if they should prohibit handguns. '
