CSAAA to represent sporting arms business owners at Government's Summit on Gun and Gang Violence

CSAAA President Wes Winkel has been invited by the Minister of Public Safety's office to represent Canadian sporting arms businesses at the government's Guns and Gangs Summit in Ottawa on Wednesday, March 7, 2018.

"We're not sure what to expect, but we want to be sure we are fully aware of the discussion taking place and able to offer our technical expertise on firearms, current regulations in practice, as well as feedback on the feasibility of ideas and how they would affect sporting arms business owners in Canada," said Winkel.

"As the representatives of hundreds of responsible small business owners employing an estimated 25,000 Canadians, it is our mission to ensure our members are not unfairly represented in this process or unduly harmed by any proposed initiatives. We believe our business members can, and should, be part of the solution to the issue of illegal and criminal firearms transactions, while respecting and protecting the lawful sale and use of sporting arms in Canada," added Winkel.


The Summit will be live-streamed at:http://video.isilive.ca/pssp/2018-03-07/english.html

Man this guy's a fast talker.

Anyone mention the Lifetime Sentence available for those breaking and entering with intent to steal firearms?

To my knowledge it's never been used but would certainly be a nice deterrent to gangs if it were.
 
I like the story about how the tracing unit (forgot the name) tracked a # of guns to a US store on the TX/OK border. ATF caught him and sent the guy away for 50+ years and he sang like a canary! There was also a former US marine who had NEXUS and was smuggling in guns. BUSTED too.
 
It will be great to have a rational voice on hand for all those loons to ignore. Oh well, reason and evidence rarely win the day.
 
It seems like the tack the anti-gun crowd, and the federal government, is taking is fixated on the notion that criminals are now stealing and using Canadian guns. But in the next breath they admit they don't know where most of the guns are coming from. Just like most anti-gun arguments, they seem to be focused on their feelings...not facts.

I thought a fair amount of what was reported as being said there was pretty rational.

The conversation has been slowly changing over the past few years.

Gunnies are way behind the power curve though, we could have been leaders instead.
