The Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear a challenge against the Liberal government’s ban on around 2,500 types of what it calls “assault-style” firearms.

On March 19, the top court granted leave to hear an appeal challenging the federal ban on firearms that Ottawa classifies as suitable only for military use, rather than for hunting or sport shooting.
