After the debacle in BC, it would be good to hear how this one goes, it sounds like the firearms community, thanks to Gatehouse, has a chance to nip this one in the bud.
I'd love to see the Q&A period:
"What data do you have to support the ban on crossbows, or is this a random fear-mongering?"
"How many injuries occur in the area from skiers - are you planning on banning skiing in the region as well?"
etc, etc. What a gong show town council has opened.
Good luck and good fighting - I strongly believe the battle for gun rights will not be won merely in Ottawa, but must be fought on every battlefield it's threatened, which means all these town-level bylaws.
