Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price recently posted this Instagram and fans reacted!

Price has taken a public stand against Bill C-21, which seeks to impose a national freeze on the purchase, sale, transfer and importation of handguns.

He responded to the controversy today via his Twitter account.

"My opinions are my own and I believe in them.

The only reason I am raising this issue is because that is what is happening now and not out of disrespect to anyone.

No, I didn't agree with the promotional code either.

I continue to stand by my fellow hunters and sport shooters who have legally acquired their property and are using it safely."
