What do you all think the chances of liberals pulling another stunts like banning semiautos through OIC or tabling a stand alone bill?

Fairly high, but probably not too soon. They went all-in too early and it shot them in the foot.

There's possibility they'll reintroduce the amendments but "lessened," though it'll probably be recognized as out of scope for the bill.

Once C21 inevitably gets through the process they may do an OiC again.

They've also basically told every gun owner - from the fudds who still voted liberal to the tacticool larpers, that they want everyone's guns and none are safe, not even single-shot rifles. Them clearly stating they intend to try again doesn't help either.
