I'll second the opinion to just get it anyway.

It's most likely that C-21 will pass unless the NDP for some reason vote it down. If so that will effectively kill (new) pistol purchases for the foreseeable future. Which of course, is terrible.

However, we don't know with absolute certainty that it will pass, and even if it does, there's a small chance it'll be either repealed or modified by more friendly governments later down the road, potentially as soon as the next election.

As another commenter said, it's better to have and not need it, and I agree with that.
