News / Politics / Activism Assuming the coming Supreme Court challenge rules in the governments favour, are we expecting OIC #4?

Worst case scenario, the Supreme Court ruling rules in favour of the government, deciding all previous bans were just.

What do we expect? Another OIC wrapping up the remaining semi-autos by model?

New legislation announced banning firearms by newly defined features?

It depends on how much political capital they want to keep in those 3 Montreal ridings and Poly.

Even if the SC overturns, chances are they will still have a majority. Carney could just throw up his hands and say this was a Trudeau thing and I don't care, and just only revive it at election time. Or he could just push through a new firearms act and we could be looking at a worse version California gun laws.

Unless someone is a LPC insider, which I highly doubt, no one here will really know the right answer.

I suspect Carney will do the lower-case-L liberal thing and start a committee to begin holding meetings on how to proceed with the inquest into the correct way to implement a legal reform regarding firearms.

ie. throw Poly a bone while not having to actually do anything.
