And private member's Bill C637, which if passed, would declare that most air guns would not be considered firearms for the remaining purposes of the Firearms Act:

amends the Criminal Code to provide that certain weapons are deemed not to be firearms for the purposes of transportation and storage.

(3.2) For the purposes of section 86 and the provisions of the Firearms Act as they relate to the transportation and storage of firearms, a barrelled weapon is deemed not to be a firearm if it is proved that the weapon is not designed or adapted to discharge

(a) a shot, bullet or other projectile at a muzzle velocity exceeding 152.4 m per second or at a muzzle energy exceeding 5.7 Joules; or

(b) a shot, bullet or other projectile that is designed or adapted to attain a velocity exceeding 152.4 m per second or an energy exceeding 5.7 Joules.

I'm not aware of any massive political will to push this bill through before the election.
