I think it's possible they've been getting a lot shit from businesses, ranges, and owners. Remember that the Bloc controls almost all of rural and suburban Quebec outside of Montreal.

I can't see the LPC backing down, but I think its possible that transfers will be allowed like the 90s handgun ban. I can live with that until a CPC government comes in and rewrites all the bullshit.

What happened with 90s handgun ban?

Owners were able to continue buying and selling from businesses and amongst themselves.

So it would kind of only apply to current RPAL holders in todays times?

A change like this would be one of these 3 things

  • Change all handguns to prohibited and issue specific prohibited licences for current owners (No new guns or handgun owners)
  • Allow transfers between current RPAL holders but block any new RPAL licences (no new guns or handgun owners)
  • Allow transfers and new RPAL holders (no new guns but allow new owners)

I think it's more likely this happens in the Senate, but who knows.
