Matt DeMille, the director of policies and programs for the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters said new federal measures go beyond their "stated intent" of reducing gun violence.
The latest amendments proposed to the government's gun control bill, C-21, would prohibit large numbers of common hunting rifles, shotguns, as well as antique arms, cannons owned by historical re-enactors, and pricey collector pieces.
Local hunters are blasting a proposed amendment to federal gun-control legislation that could lead to a ban on many semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.
