There is definitely a path to reversal, the laws are based on aesthetics and looks and not function. Nothing that is based in ludicrous rhetoric will ever be permanent.

Canadian gun owners have always lived under ludicrous rhetoric.... that's why for 30 years you could own a SVT 40 but not a Dragunov, a M1a but not a FAL, a BRS-99 but not an a UZI. The Liberals are physically incapable of letting it go. And the Conservatives fail to reverse things to the fullest due to PR fatigue.

There is no dimension where a liberal leader could be seen putting AR-15s and the like back on the shelves again. Best you can hope for as a new shooter is no new bans, some C21 compliant semis, and maybe suppressor legalization under a CPC majority.
