Well clearly we need to ban the sale and ownership of firearms in Canada so that they can't be stolen. Because our laws will prevent gun theft on America...

Provost was talking about the need to ban tube fed shotguns last week…

I can’t find it either, not sure what words she used but it was posted here. She was complaining that a manufacturer had created a drum mag for an otherwise compliant rifle, and then listed the things she wanted an expanded ban to include, in that list was all drum magazines, tub fed and magazine fed shotguns, and magazine fed semi automatic rifles.

It’s from a thing where a manufacturer rightfully teased her by making promotional material for their shot gun drum mag. I’m at work so I can’t scroll back to find it at the moment.

I just read the 'expert' panel report. I'm not sure who the expert panel was, but they do talk about wanting to ban some tube fed, and magazine shotguns.

If you scroll to the bottom, or click on the annex it has a list of all the firearms they feel should be added/banned to fill the gaps.

I bet Bill Blair is on there, he’s one of their favourite “experts.”
