I still don't think the Liberals will issue additional OICs given the current supreme court stuff.

Not to mention they can't really touch the SKS because it's used heavily by the first Nations.

Not that is any guarantee and don't get me wrong, it's a tragic event but we need more details

They aren’t above blatant racism. SKS for natives but nobody else isn’t out of the question.

We already have race based laws so why not another.

Judging by your tone, do you think they should ban the SKS because it's not an ancestral weapon used by First Nations?

I'm just highlighting the irony of first nations holding them back from extending their agenda to what for once is an actual "weapon of war" while they skip around it and have no shame in banning ridiculous stuff like bolt action rifles.

Do I think the SKS should be banned? Not really. But if there's a gun their fearmongering should apply to, it's pretty much at the top of the list lol.

Ok, I understand your point and I agree, thanks for clarifying.

This is probably what the government wants but carve outs have to be made via legislation not OiCs and after the clusterfuck that was C-21 which they are still dealing with the fallout today they are going to try and tiptoe around the SKS all together.

It is already legal for an entity to make a request to Human Rights Commissions for exemptions. This is how diversity training programs and the like are allowed to exist. So an indigenous SKS exemption is a possibility.
