So in light of the Liberal "renewed" gun law promises, I'm very out of the loop on gun lobby groups that would be able to fight any legislation being tabled.

Are there any lobby groups the community here can suggest that is active and have been making progress (stopping légalisation in going through)/stirring the pot in the house of commons and senate?

And perhaps not just lobby groups, any petition currently on going that is looking for signatures, etc...?

I feel embarrassed I'm not more up to date on this or more knowledgeable, but seeking and researching more on this now...

Would appreciate your thoughts and suggestions!

CSAAA (More of a business/industry organization. Public membership isn't allowed, but should follow for some news)

CCFR - has a legal challenge against May 2020 OIC

CSSA - has a legal challenge against May 2020 OIC

NFA

Also BCWF in BC, or other similar organizations.

There is a current HoC petition right now that is against the recent C-71 changes.

Another worthy mention is the ATRS MS lawsuit.

If you are also a Conservative or Green party member, feel free to support candidates who are pro-firearm policy. I believe the GPC is about to adopt a pro-firearms legislation barring a membership vote.

As a Green Party member, I’m quite pleased how relatively pro firearm they are as a “progressive” party.
