Liberals in Canada folded amid backlash from farmers, hunters, and indigenous groups, and have removed hunting rifles and shotguns from the long list of firearms being banned under Prime Minister Trudeau's "assault weapons" ban.

On May 10, 2020, Breitbart News
noted Trudeau’s “assault weapons” ban targeted 1,500 firearms, a number of which were bolt action rifles.
“Following complaints from rural dwellers and indigenous leaders, Canada’s New Democratic Party and Bloc Quebecois said that they didn’t support the broader ban on rifles and shotguns.”
But on February 3, 2023, the
Wall Street Journal reported the Liberals are ceding ground on their ban and will not target hunting rifles and shotguns.
