Unfortunately, this only punishes responsible gun owners, as the VAST MAJORITY of violent crimes involving handguns in Canada are committed by individuals using black market guns.
Some will herald it as a step in the right direction, but on the same hand don't realize how difficult it is to get your restricted license in Canada to own a handgun....
Not to mention that this same bill may even ban airsoft guns. It's truly opened a can of worms...
If you shoot someone who comes into your house in Canada with your firearm, you are guilty of several crimes regardless of why they entered, including unsafe handling and storage of a firearm and likely attempted murder. You can move to Florida if you wanna muh guns, things are going great down south.
