Application / Regulation advice Will the handgun freeze ever go away?

I mean, we need pistols for hunting and self-defence if a bear is running at you and is near.

No, rights will never be given back once they have been removed, while the Conservatives are opposing the OIC gun restriction and grab, when they are returned to power they will not re-permit those weapons, they just won't add more to the list to remove.

Unfortunately that type of change can only come from public will to force change, and with the Urban/Rural divide in Canada there will be no push to allow more weapons in the hands of citizens, but you may soon have legal prostitution so there is that to look forward to.

Telling me you haven't engaged with the conservatives platform at all. They've had undoing the OICs and implementing simplified classification for a while now. They lose nothing by following through with their promises and lose everything by rug pulling.

You assume Pierre pollievre is going to form a government. The media has done enough damage to his reputation now that there is basically 0 chance of a conservative government with him at the helm.

And when new leadership does happen, you can bet your ass all this gun ban stuff is going to be long forgotten.
