Liberals, Tories quarrel over scope of proposed assault-style firearm definition
She said the amendment would ensure that gun manufacturers can’t tweak designs of prohibited firearms to make them available in Canada again. “Codification and clear definitions in the Criminal Code will ensure that manufacturers can’t try to game the system to continue to sell weapons which by any other name would be prohibited.”
Conservative MP Glen Motz said the definition would effectively prohibit hundreds of thousands of firearms, including many non-restricted guns.“I think it was a deliberate attempt to mislead the Canadian public and mislead Parliament,” he said. Raquel Dancho, the Conservative public safety critic, said the proposed definition casts a very wide net – the “most significant hunting rifle ban in the history of Canada.”
“If the Liberals had any integrity, they would have brought this forward in the original bill, then it could have been debated in the House,” she said. “But of course, they did not do that.” During the hearing, the Liberals made public an updated list, running about 300 pages, of the various models and variants of firearms that would now be prohibited.
