BREAKING: Carney Liberals extend gun-confiscation amnesty as Supreme Court challenge proceeds

Subhead:The gun ban has been plagued by delays, legal challenges and rising costs since it was imposed by cabinet decree rather than legislation passed through Parliament in 2020.# The Carney Liberal government has once again extended its firearm amnesty, acknowledging that the legal battle over its controversial 2020 gun ban is still unresolved. In a statement released Tuesday, the government announced that the amnesty protecting affected gun owners from criminal prosecution will remain in place until 90 days after the Supreme Court of Canada rules on a challenge brought by the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR). The extension comes after the Supreme Court agreed in March to hear the CCFR's appeal challenging the legality of the May 2020 order-in-council that prohibited thousands of previously legal firearms owned by licensed Canadians. Despite the ongoing court challenge, the Carney Liberals say their so-called Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program remains on track and is expected to be completed by October 2026.
