The ultimate goal of anti-gun groups like Poly is to ban all private ownership of guns even for hunting purposes. They only begrudgingly tolerate guns as hunting tools because hunting with guns is still seen as socially acceptable by most Canadians. If there is a point in the future where hunting is no longer tolerated, they will absolutely push to ban your stereotypical hunting rifle.

Make no mistake, groups like Poly will not stop at handguns or scary black rifles. They hold their anti-gun beliefs as if it were a religion

ban all private ownership of guns

Allan Rock said that years ago. I can see some sort of central storage for anyone who wants to hunt (and only a certain number of cartridges per year)
