The CCFR pod said there's like, 93 other amendments we haven't seen to C21. Nothing good is to come, I'm guessing?

I don’t know about 93. I heard there was somewhere in the ballpark of 30-40 more. This isn’t coming from any official source, just people talking about it. The average seems to be within that range but still not good for the anxiety. But we don’t know what those amendments are going to look like. We can probably surmise that some of those are going to be related to ghost guns and 3D printing.

The CCFR, while I support them do tell white lies every now and then to keep people concerned (as they should be). Downplaying it isn’t going to get people fired up. Politically, you have to fight fire with fire sometimes. The liberals seem to have no scruples when it comes to lying, so it’s not unreasonable to think the CCFR engages in it too.

That being said, if there really are 93 amendments, there’s a good chance this isn’t being passed anytime soon, and it will probably spend a while in the senate as well. Filibuster it until an election and use it as a legislative hostage. Give us a majority or else!

There were always going to be more amendments. How significant we don’t know.

No one except the committee members know for sure. However, there is expected to be a significant amount. If they come from the CPC, they are likely all positive for us but also basically guaranteed to not be adopted. We know the NDP has amendments. They were crafted by MacGregor, but will now be presented by Julian. We know MacGregor has amendments to save airsoft, likely with brightly coloured tips or something. It also expected, based off of his consultation and speaches, that there may be exceptions that broaden sport shooting exceptions to include things like IPSC. The last thing we know is happening for sure (although we don't know from who) is ghost guns. Likely will require internal parts buying to show a PAL like with ammo.

Aside from those things, we don't know anything else.

They did release the list or part of it early and there was a note about there being a “leak” when they dropped G4 and G46. Given this, they may actually have inside info here
