The Supreme Court of Canada will hear arguments against the Liberal government's controversial decision to outlaw certain firearms. The policy has been generally applauded by gun control advocates, but faces backlash from many gun owners, including hunters and sport shooters, and the Conservative Opposition who all argue the move punishes law-abiding gun owners instead of going after criminals. As usual, the Supreme Court justices did not say why they decided to hear this case. So I think it's a great day for Canadian gun owners and a great day for democracy." Wilson said her group will seek an injunction to extend that until after the case is heard and the Supreme Court justices reach a decision.
