I'm a 20 year old ontarian and I filed my rpal and pal application in April didn't get it until December, too late to own handguns and now all restricted rifles and tactical NR rifles/semis will be banned but they still took my money and time and gave me a useless restricted license. Any advice or ideas? Anybody in a similar situation?

I dunno man, write to the government and ask for your $100 back?

Obviously the proposed laws aren't great but even then, calling the license 'useless' is a but hyperbolic.

After the c21 ammendment passes the only restricted firearms that Wont be banned or freezed are shotguns I won't even be able to buy tactical semi auto rifles which are also getting banned so I don't think I'm being hyperbolic. The whole reason I got my licenses was to shoot and collect handguns and tactical rifles and do a bit of hunting. It's just not fair. I emailed my mp, medicino, and polievre In early Dec and I just heard from polievre and it was just bullshit talking points and nothing about fixing the freeze and helping people like me. Anyways Thank you for your time commenting.
