Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino is accusing the Conservatives of “fearmongering” over proposed amendments to gun-banning legislation that, if passed, will see an additional 300 to 400 firearms prohibited nationwide.

The Conservatives, meanwhile, have pushed back with claims of “disinformation” and accusing the Liberals of avoiding debate on the initial legislation in the House.
