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.
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.
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.
