Application / Regulation advice Handgun Ban & SCC

I am seeing mixed messaging on here and wanted to get some clarification. Would the handgun freeze be lifted if CCFR wins at the Supreme Court of Canada? I thought the handgun freeze was a law now, and so that would be unaffected if the OICs were overturned?

Therefore the only way to actually acquire handguns in the future would be if a new government came in and removed the law.

Please correct me wherever necessary here

They didn’t take handguns away from people that owned them. They banned the transfer of handguns.

That just phases them out after a generation or so
