The Gun Ban Court is HERE and WE ARE IN!

 

We’re In!

Canada’s National Firearms Association (NFA) is joining the Supreme Court Challenge brought by the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights (CCFR) against the Liberal government’s Orders in Council (OIC) banning hundreds of thousands of firearms.

NFA will participate in the case as an Intervenor.

This is an important fight for Canadian firearms owners. If you’re not already an NFA member, we invite you to join us. And if you are already a member, please consider making a donation to help support our work on this case.

At first, we weren’t sure whether the Court would accept us.

To participate as an Intervenor in a Supreme Court case, an organization must bring an argument that is different and distinct from that of the principal litigant.

But NFA believes that we have found the right argument.

With the help of civil rights lawyer Jason Gratl of Vancouver, B.C., we believe we’ve got a strong case to present to the Court.

Jason has a lot of experience with cases like this. He has argued before the Supreme Court and served as head of the B.C. Civil Liberties Union. He is the right guy for the job.

Taking a case to the Supreme Court requires significant resources. Your donation—no matter the amount—helps the NFA make sure the voice of Canadian firearms owners is heard.

The question is this;

Are laws in Canada made through legislation and Parliament, or are they done by Order in Council?

Did the Liberals overstep their Authority by using the Orders in Council to target so many Canadians and so much lawfully owned property?

In case you are not familiar with what an Order in Council (OIC) is, it is a means by which the Prime Minister, using the powers of the Governor General—that is, the Government of Canada—can pass emergency orders as de facto law without having to introduce controversial legislation and get it passed by Parliament.

In other words, they used a tragedy and a political gimmick to push their agenda—without having to answer to anyone.

Apparently, the Liberals considered confiscating hundreds of thousands of legally owned firearms from law-abiding Canadians an emergency on the scale of a ‘Declaration of War’.

 

Which it was.

A Declaration of War on the Rights, Freedoms, and Property of Canadians

And this has happened with firearms in the past.

In the early 1990’s, governments prohibited scores of firearms through OIC.

 

However, shortly afterward, they prohibited those same firearms through legislation passed by Parliament instead.

Back then, maybe they weren’t so sure those OIC’s would pass legal scrutiny.

Are the Liberal OIC’s actually lawful?

 

Well, we’re going to find out. The Supreme Court Case will be heard in November 2026, and a decision will be rendered shortly after.

 

We need members standing behind us as we take this next step. If you haven’t joined the NFA, please consider becoming a member today. If you’re already a member, please consider making an additional donation toward this important work.

The government has its lawyers. But we have you.

If you believe this fight is worth winning, please contribute.

Stand with us. Help us finish this.
