There is massive opposition to the latest gun ban by Trudeau. From all three of the significant firearms lobby groups. From various provincial hunting and wildlife federations, from every group of hunters and firearms enthusiasts I am aware of. I don't know a single hunter or shooter who supports it. Not one single person. And I'm in contact with a lot. Any suggestion otherwise is just not true.
Further to the original purpose of the thread. While it may not have been their avowed intent, the OIC signed by the prime minister does indeed make prohibited in Canada all 12 gauge (and larger) shotguns fitted with choke tubes. While there has been some debate about intent and how barrel bores ought to be measured, the law is argued by lawyers in front of judges and they only really care about the exact, precise wording of the law. And the exact, precise wording of the law prohibits those shotguns. Tweets and opinions from Bill Blair, our Minister of public Safety or from the RCMP are utterly meaningless. This situation can only be corrected by changing the wording of the OIC, instituting a new regulation that renders this one null and void or by established legal precedent and I'm sure most of you don't want to fight this one to the Supreme Court of Canada.
