Federal Court of Appeal dismisses challenge of federal firearms ban

[Castanet News]

The Federal Court of Appeal has dismissed a challenge of a Liberal government ban on firearms the government considers fit only for the battlefield, not for...

I have no time for the Liberals, but I do agree with banning assault style guns, regardless if they are only semi-automatic or manual loaders, similar in action to hunting and sports firearms. The form factor encourages improper use by the idiot faction among us who think they are Gravy Seals.

It is the assault guns/rifles that are being brought in illegally that are the problem, not the hunting, sport rifles. The ban was one way for the Liberal government to have control over the people of Canada. Second of all you need a PAL to purchase a rifle and if you want to purchase a hand gun, you need a PAL with the restricted designation. And having that only allows you to transport the gun from home to gun range in a locked gun case, in your vehicle.

These firearms were mostly classified as "registered" ( like handguns) so only useable at a licensed range by owners with an rpal license, contrary to the phony narrative by the liberals that these were being used for hunting. The main problem I have with it is that Trudeau made his big proclamation in May 2020.... five years on , the owners have received no compensation and there's no plan. That's overreach in my opinion. How can anyone justify the seizure of legally purchased assets being seized from citizens with no justification? He tried to tie it to the NS massacre which was carried out by an unlicensed psycho with guns imported illegally from the states, nothing to do with "assault rifles".
Meanwhile because nothing substantive was ever done by the hug a thug liberals about gun crime, homicides with firearms rose by 116% between 2014 and 2022. Go figure. This is just wrong on so many levels but I didn't expect any different result from the lawsuit.

[George Orwell 1984]

Let me correct -“ well reasoned and liberal legally sound reasons.” After stacking the judiciary with liberal judges along with senators all reasoning aligns with liberal thinking. How’s that buyback program working out ? Has there been a single firearm turned in?

[Vandura]

A complete joke but not surprising at all. So law abiding firearms owners are the problem? Not the scumbag thugs running around the streets with illegal firearms shooting one another over drug deals and territory. Obviously not a problem with the arseholes who are doing armed home invasions against innocent people who cannot defend themselves. They cannot defend themselves because they are not allowed to in this communist so called country. It is all the legal gun owners who are the problem. Maybe if legal gun owners ran around flashing guns and holding them sideways with pants down around their ankles saying yo yo yo like a bunch of useless rappers then it would be ok because that is the culture. Then you have meatheads who make idiotic statements like walkabout24. Typical of people who have zero clue about firearms. Assault rifles have been banned in Canada since 1977. Wake up. All firearms will be banned if Clownshow Carney is elected. Bet on it.

The gun laws were fine as they were
The penalties were having a gun illegally. We’re not stiff enough.
They have done nothing to stop criminals from using guns
Only taking guns illegally from law abiding citizens I see no logic in this at all

On masse, simply don't turn in our personal possessions, time for a revolt by the masses, enough is enough.

free men have guns
slaves don't

[Noshortageofdrivers]

The RCMP have killed more Canadian citizens than all the criminals combined
Maybe we should get rid of the RCMP

[Gone_Fishin]

Liberal logic: ban firearms from the safest, most vetted people in the country, while simultaneously eliminating mandatory minimum sentences for firearms smuggling and other firearms offenses.

Four more years of this moronic ? I don't think so.

Another level headed rationale by Lumby Glen, couldn't agree more.

Leave the legal gun owners alone, they are not the problem ... it's the illegal guns and criminals that are the problem ... and of course the gutless liberals that are too scared to take them on, just want to score points by harassing the legal owners ...

you are over anylising the topic,,,its simple,,law abiding people wont use them for crime, criminals wont care about any laws,,,

[Blindeyes2020]

Funny how when a Law abiding citizen has an ar it is an Assault style weapon but the exact same rifle the police use it is a carbbine rifle.
Well sorry I own a Carbine rifle so it's good I'll keep mine.
Oh *bleep* I think I just got robbed.
Oh well.
