Public Consultation Request…………

Public Consultation Request…………

In late August of this year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a mandate letter for Bill Blair.

For those of you not familiar with Blair, he’s the ex-Toronto cop turned Member of Parliament who was recently appointed to a brand new Ministry and given the title “Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Prevention”.

His job, primarily, is to assist Uncle Ralph in ensuring Bill C-71 gets passed AND to “lead an examination of a national ban on handguns and assault weapons, while not impeding their lawful use by Canadians” – there’s an oxy-moron if I’ve ever heard one.

What does this examination look like? Well, shortly after his orders came down from on high, Blair stood in committee and promised to conduct a full and balanced “public consultation” before the end of the calendar year.

Here is your “public consultation”. Please take the time to fill out this online survey right away and forward it to your friends and family to do the same.

ONLINE ENGAGEMENT – HANDGUN AND ASSAULT WEAPONS

If you are a business owner, retailer or club, please forward this to your entire mailing list.

Please, this is vital to this fight and to keeping the property we have legally acquired. Act now!!

 

With many thanks,

Tracey Wilson

VP Public Relations

Bill C-71 Firearms Act Amendments

The BCWF Does Not Support Bill C-71
Amendments to the Firearms Act

Here is a brief overview of what Bill C-71 Amendments to the Canadian Firearms Act means to you:

  • Background checks for criminal violence and any mental illness will be conducted over the life of the individual, not the previous five year period.
  • Both business and private sales of all firearms are subject to computerized license verification. Non-Restricted firearms transfers will not have the information regarding the firearm recorded.
  • Businesses are required to keep records which will include the individual’s information and all information regarding the firearm(s) transferred. The business must keep the records for 20 years unless the business ceases to be a business. In that case all records must be surrendered to the authorities.
  • Authorizations to Transport have been gutted. The only permitted uses are to shooting ranges and Purchase-to-Home, but will still include “all ranges in province”. All currently held ATTs will be revoked on passage of Bill 71.
  • RCMP completes an extensive background check taking into account criminal, addiction, domestive violence and mental health records
  • All of the Swiss Arms Classic series and all CZ-858s will be made 12(9) Prohibited. The owners of these rifles will be Grandfathered and permitted to transport to a range for the purposes of target shooting.
  • The power of the Governing Council to declare any firearm to be Non-Restricted has been revoked. The Governing Council may still be used to declare any firearms to be restricted or prohibited.
  • UN Firearms Marking will be issued in a Technical amendment

Dear Minister Goodale,

Re:  Withdrawal of Bill C-71

I am writing to you today to request that you withdraw Bill C-71.

It is my view that Bill C-71 is an unnecessary blatant imposition on law abiding Canadian gun owners that will do nothing to reduce crime and make Canadians safer. If anything, it will make otherwise law-abiding Canadians potential criminals as a result of arbitrary and unpredictable decisions by the RCMP.

I suggest that rather than impose more unnecessary laws on law abiding citizens who own guns that you invest in meaningful actions to prevent the importation of illegal drugs and guns into Canada, and the deportation of convicted criminals and terrorists out of Canada.

Such an effort would be a far better investment and provide meaningful outcomes in terms of the public attitude to firearms rather than equating them with criminals.

In closing, I respectively request you not to proceed with legislation that unnecessarily impacts Canada’s law-abiding firearms owners and does little to improve public safety.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Respectfully,

Sign

Good afternoon wally
I was wondering what all the nelson rod and gun club is doing to help block bill c-71? Specially now that all handguns and semi-autos are now on the chopping block. Personally i think a group email from members of the club to our mp and to the pm and gooddale would help show our opposition to a bill that merely was put out too garner votes at the expense  of law abiding citizens.  If that sounds like something you think the club would be up for doing.

Thanks you for read and hope to hear back from you
