The interesting thing would be the criminal code piece. If the SCC deems these firearms to be reasonable for sporting and hunting purposes (I.e. the government ignored this) I wonder if it’d be more difficult to actually try and ban the same models again.

This puts the onus back on the government to implement specific language in another bill to try and justify why these same firearms are NOT reasonable, no? Not a lawyer by any stretch but that specific context is important when trying to predict the potential legislative response to repealing the OIC’s

This is the strongest argument.
