We have hope... Senate just struck down Marco M's other idiotic suggestion (on frisking electronic devices at the border): https://twitter.com/mgeist/status/1536539458467676160

Maybe they will gut C-21 as well when it hits there.

I highly doubt they gut C-21, but I do expect them to take their time. IMO the best we can hope for is the allowance of transfers between current owners and the removal of an airsoft ban.

I have been very confused on the exact process of the regulations regarding the handgun freeze. Specifically, what is the role of the Senate? What can they actually do, because right now that is our most pressing concern.

They need to fix the red flag laws, tons of guys will get their license revoked for something that happened maybe 20 years ago and maybe not their fault.

It's a feature and not a bug. How many times do we assume incompetence before assuming malice becomes reasonable?

And these people may had guns for years!

They know and they're going to do it anyway. The goal isn't safety. They want an end to civilian gun ownership.
