Subhead:The legal fight over the so-called “gun ban” is officially heading to the highest court in the country.#
Canada’s top court has just handed gun owners something they’ve been fighting years for — their day in court.
In a major development released Thursday, the Supreme Court of Canada confirmed it has granted leave to appeal in a series of cases challenging the federal government’s controversial firearms prohibition including the case brought by the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR).
That means the legal fight over the so-called “gun ban” is officially heading to the highest court in the country.
The case — Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, et al. v. Attorney General of Canada (41859) — will be heard alongside three related challenges from individual gun owners, businesses, and shooting organizations. All stem from the same Federal Court of Appeal ruling that upheld the Liberal government’s sweeping firearms ban.
