Conservative MP and public safety critic Raquel Dancho today called the Liberal government’s last-minute amendments to their gun control legislation, Bill C-21, “sneaky” and “the largest assault on hunters in Canadian history.”

“They’re going after Grandpa Joe’s hunting rifle instead of gangsters in Toronto,” Dancho told reporters in Ottawa on Nov. 24.
