Amendments to Bill C-21 were widely criticized for targeting rifles and shotguns popular with hunters
The federal government is withdrawing controversial amendments to its gun legislation, that would have banned thousands of assault style firearms but which was widely criticized for also targeting rifles and shotguns popular with hunters.
Bill C-21 initially targeted handguns but in late-stage amendments the Liberals expanded the law to also target assault-style rifles. However, gun control groups like PolySeSouvient, supported the amendments which would have made it more difficult for a future government to reverse the Liberals’ gun bans. Those bans include guns used in mass shootings, like the one used in the 1989 mass murder of 14 women at École Polytechnique.was introduced, in May, 2022, just days after the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Tex.
