The Ontario government is joining a Supreme Court challenge by a firearms rights advocacy group against the federal government’s ban on approximately 2,500 types of what it calls “assault-style” weapons.

Alberta and Saskatchewan have also joined the legal challenge by filing notices of intervention before the Supreme Court on May 19.
