The thing that irks me isn't the ban itself, it's the number of issues with it:
a) The ban circumventing the parliament process
b) The fact that it was used as a political tool in order to garner votes
c) The fact that this is misrepresented to the public as a way to "decrease firearms related crimes" when in fact it doesn't help as it doesn't address any of the illegal firearms
d) The fact that this costs the economy a large amount of GDP (something $X billions of firearms industry will be lost)
Trudeau took the pandemic as an opportunity to "pacify the public's concerns" but failed to see that at the end of the day, it has many more cons than pros and doesn't do anything to actually resolve the issues surrounding gun violence.

you can, probably, add (e) there - liberals will use billions of $ of OUR money to buy our own guns from us. Furthermore, that is not included in this year's budget. I'm not talking about the problem associated with the implementation of the buyback program across Canada.
and adding (f) there is no exact knowledge of how many unrestricted guns out there, so the number in (e) can climb through the room if all of a sudden all the gun owners decide to turn in all their prohibited firearms.
As I mentioned in my original post, they will soon prohibit our airsoft guns. Well, I did not realize that nonsense had started already before I even wrote that. Canadian police took down a girl in a stormtrooper outfit who carried plastic blaster to advertise the local business on May 4th. Apparently someone called police and complained that she was carrying long gun in public

Also, as per URLs I posted at the bottom of the original post, the sad part of this is - we cannot do anything legally. Liberals did it so well that there is no way for us to turn this around besides voting them out of parliament and stand behind the party who will repeal this ban.
