The thing that irks me isn't the ban itself, it's the number of issues with it:

a) The ban circumventing the parliament process
b) The fact that it was used as a political tool in order to garner votes
c) The fact that this is misrepresented to the public as a way to "decrease firearms related crimes" when in fact it doesn't help as it doesn't address any of the illegal firearms
d) The fact that this costs the economy a large amount of GDP (something $X billions of firearms industry will be lost)

Trudeau took the pandemic as an opportunity to "pacify the public's concerns" but failed to see that at the end of the day, it has many more cons than pros and doesn't do anything to actually resolve the issues surrounding gun violence.

Very well said . I totally agree with you
