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

The handgun ban is never going to end. It’s law now. Only a conservative majority could repeal it and they would need a lot of political capital to make it a priority and that’s just not going to happen because they know they already have gun owners in the bag.

That and the CPC isnt going to get a majority. Not with pp in charge. Mans got no substance.
