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.

Tbf Canadas laws currently make Californias look like Texas.

we still have pistol grips, detachable magazines and threaded barrels on our semi rifles. California doesn't.

Threaded barrels and detachable mags are fine, so long as there’s no pistol grip or flash hider. Standard capacity magazines are common and legal so long as you bought them at the right time, and we can also buy new pistols and CCW.

Are you talking about California laws?

Flash Hiders and compensators are LEGAL in Canada.

Yes, they’re legal in California too. Compensators and muzzle brakes on semi-auto centerfire rifles with detachable mags are legal, as long as there’s no pistol grip, collapsing stock, or flash hider. I never said they were illegal in Canada, just saying California still has it better.
