People are going to go absolutely nuts if the supreme court invalidates the OICs.

There are going to be a million Gunposts from people trying to sell off those now un-banned guns "Before the Libs ban them through Parliament", and the prices are going to be insane because regular online retailers won't have those models in stock for months to provide some kind of reasonable competition.

Is that how we think its going to play out? Invalidated oic, followed by new legislation prohibiting the ones fresh out of oic jail?

I was almost thinking that if the OIC got invalidated, maybe the government would use that as an "out" of the mess they've made with this BS.

Sorta like saying them saying "well mom(court) said i couldnt ban these and she has more say than me"

No one really knows but I think they will drop the bans of the courts side with us. It's too bad about the handgun situation though. It's unfortunate the community wasn't able to push back enough to stop that nonsense

I don't think that's how it's going to go, myself (I suspect they'll start having debates on what the correct way to proceed is, which will eventually lead to the formation of a committee, and they'll come back with policy recommendations in two to three years), but I think that a lot of canadian gun owners will think it's going to play that way, enough so that people will try and profit off of the paranoia.

Yeah i understand your view for sure.

Im just hoping that the goverment who seems to be very slowly acknowledging that this program has failed, might use the court decision as a scape goat to just wash their hands of this.

Unfortunately hopeful thinking doesn't usually play out in reality these days.
