Ottawa, Canada — Shopify, the Canadian provider of online stores for more than 600,000 businesses, banned the sale of some semi-automatic firearms and 3D-printed guns.
Semi-automatic guns that can take magazines that hold more than 10 bullets, attachments that make guns fire faster — like bump stocks — and silencers or flash suppressors are all considered “restricted items,” according to the company’s rules, which were updated Aug. 13. The popular and controversial AR-15, as well as other “assault-type weapons,” would fall into this category.
