Federal Court of Appeal dismisses challenge of federal firearms ban

  • The Federal Court of Appeal has dismissed a challenge to a Liberal government ban on firearms deemed suitable only for battle, not for hunting or sport shooting, which involves some 1,500 models banned since May 2020.
  • In October 2023, a Federal Court judge rejected claims that the ban was unlawful and outside the federal cabinet's authority.
  • The Federal Court of Appeal affirmed the previous ruling, stating that the Federal Court provided "well-reasoned and legally sound reasons" for its ruling.
  • Gun control advocates generally praised the decision as a step toward removing mass shooting firearms from circulation.
