The law also bans anyone from owning a firearm if they have “conduct that endangers self or others,” without explaining what such conduct entails*.

Biden Early Contender For Gun Salesman Of The Year
President Joe Biden is easily the most anti-gun president we’ve ever had. Sure, Clinton didn’t like guns and passed the assault weapon ban and Obama was clearly no fan of the Second Amendment, absolutely no Democrat has campaigned on as much gun control as Biden did and won, at least not that I can think of.
Never Enough: New Zealand Set For Second Gun Confiscation

GUNTER: Conservatives tried to get tough on gun crime — the Liberals and NDP blocked them
Remember last May when the Trudeau Liberals used the Nova Scotia mass killing as an excuse to ban 1,500 models of “military-style” rifles and shotguns owned by law-abiding Canadians? (That number has since crept up to 9,500 models and perhaps 400,000 individual guns.)
The justification given for this largest firearms confiscation in Canadian history was public safety. Somehow taking long guns away from hunters, farmers and skeet shooters was going to encourage drug dealers and gang members to stop using handguns to kill one another.
AOC suggests she didn’t attend Biden inauguration because she doesn’t feel safe around Republicans

“You knew that people would ask why you weren’t there,” CNN host Chris Cuomo said. “This was a good cause, from your perspective, of dealing with your constituency. But this was supposed to be a show of force, and unity, and you weren’t there. Explain it.”
“Yeah, you know, I think we also had very real security concerns as well, as you mentioned earlier,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We still don’t yet feel safe around other Members of Congress and—”

Get Ready for the Biden Gun Grab

Democrats now have single-party control of the federal government. President Joe Biden styled himself as the most moderate candidate his party had to offer. And still, during the campaign he promised to put Beto O’Rourke – the man who blurted out “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15s” in charge of his administration’s gun policies.

Lawyers, Guns and Money: How To Stop Trudeau’s Gun Grab

Although many firearms owners can be quite pessimistic about the future of firearm rights in Canada everything is far from over as things currently stand.
Canadians opposed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Bill Blair’s “assault-style” rifle ban, and proposed local handgun bans, need to understand that one cannot just simply sit at home voicing opposition to the government’s attempts to seize people’s firearms because with that strategy it will eventually happen sooner or later.
