It's actually crazy our firearm laws are made by people who have absolutely no background in policing/military/outdoors/etc.

You'd think the Minister of Public Safety would know the Firearms Act like the back of their hand instead of being passed a note because he doesn't what an RPAL is. It's like if the Minister of Transportation never had a driver's license.

And Nathalie.... uuggghhh....

I mean, is it really a surprise in this country? Our current and most of our former ministers of defense have never served in the military in any capacity. The majority of cabinet members past and present are lawyers by trade, Mr. Public Safety included. Obviously not good lawyers, since they ought to know the laws they govern under even more.
