O’Toole appears to break with election platform, pledges status quo on firearm bans

After days of question about his party’s gun policy, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole said Sunday he would maintain a Liberal ban on ‘assault-style’ firearms if he forms government.

“I want to make my position on firearms perfectly clear. First, the ban on assault weapons will remain in place. Second, the present ban on a number of other firearms that were reclassified in 2020 will remain in place,” he told reporters in Vancouver.

At a French-language debate on Thursday, O’Toole said he would maintain a ban on assault weapons.

A gaffe perhaps but not a mortal one.
