Bans and blowback: Assessing the Liberals' gun bill
In the weeks following the 2020 killings of 22 people in Portapique, Nova Scotia \u2014 the deadliest shooting rampage in Canadian history \u2014 the federal government began introducing steps to limit the types of guns people can own and use. There were orders in council, which began with a list of more than 1,500 firearms, before more were added, and later a piece of proposed gun control legislation, Bill C-21.\n\nThat bill had two readings in the House of Commons, before a major 478-page amendment was added. The changes have drawn more criticism to what was already a contentious bill, as some question whether it\u2019s too broad and will affect too many types of guns.\n\nOn today\u2019s episode, we\u2019re joined by Kieran Oudshoorn, a producer with CBC\u2019s audio documentary unit, to walk through Liberal government\u2019s plans for gun control.
