Yeah, I'm not super versed in Canadian gun law, I never really had the interest 🤷.
That said, everything I've heard about new bans/restrictions coming in from my friends and family who hunt sound incredibly reactionary with no actual aim to fix the issues that they state are the aim....

    The money being spent on the ban could be used much more effectively to reduce crime by investing it elsewhere such as mental health services. Many local police forces have refused to participate (its optional for them) citing their resources are better spent elsewhere which will push the costs onto the RCMP.
