It will be interesting to see how many components of the Bill are front and centre during the upcoming public consultations (as announced in the 2016 federal budget) on "ways to get handguns and assault rifles off the streets." It is obvious that the Bill was timed to coincide with these discussions. By introducing in the Senate first, it will be ready for the House by the time the consultations are complete. The Liberals have the numbers in the Senate. I expect some version of the Bill will make its way to parliament.
Brace yourselves, this could get ugly...
