Remember that these are the guys who said that they were preparing to fight UN and/or Chinese troops who might invade Canada?

Now their lawyer says that they were used for hunting? Was she taking about the pipe bomb or the handguns?

I don't see a single trigger or cable lock in that photo. Was the ammunition stored in a separate locked container?

These guys should never be allowed to own a firearm again based solely on the UN/China delusion. These types of violent collective fantasies are extremely dangerous and they absolutely should be disqualifying.

All guns seized from this blockade were also being used to disrupt international trade.

What the guns might have been used for prior to the blockade, or when not present at the blockade, is not relevant. You can commit murder just as easily with a hunting rifle as with a handgun. It's just more difficult to carry the rifle concealed.

Exactly. These could have been hunting rifles, and used for hunting 100 times. Take them to a blockade and they become weapons.

Hunting with a Kriss Vector is... a choice.

Why am I not surprised that these terrible people could only obtain counsel from an equally terrible attorney?

I know that there are more absurdities that prove your point. However, a handgun can be a great addition to hunting

Ok, ignoring the fact that handguns are illegal in Canada...how is a handgun a great addition to hunting? Not being sarcastic, genuinely curious.
