Canada's Supreme Court is hearing a challenge this week to then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's sweeping semi-auto ban, an unratified Order in Council after the April 2020 Nova Scotia shooting causing 23 deaths including the shooter. Cabinet invoked Criminal Code authority to restrict firearms it deems cannot reasonably be used for hunting and sports shooting, while counsel Michael A. Loberg for the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights argued historical hunting and sports use and overreach of the mandate. The Federal Court and Federal Court of Appeal dismissed the case citing valid public safety arguments.
