Sask. Government wanting to take part in legal challenges against federal firearms ban
The Saskatchewan Government hopes to help overturn the federal firearms ban.
Representatives plan on applying to intervene in the legal challenges currently before the Federal Court of Appeal.
The original challenges were dismissed by the Federal Court of Canada back in October, however, four of the applicants filed appeals. This included the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights.
“We believe in the merits of this case on administrative and constitutional grounds,” said Bronwyn Eyre, Saskatchewan’s justice minister and attorney general. “The federal ban already includes up to 1,800 ‘variants,’ will cost billions of dollars, and directly conflicts with sections of the Criminal Code which state that firearms that can reasonably be used for hunting or sporting purposes cannot be banned.”
