well i got my letter from The CFC for my Prohib's today . After talking with My MP I was informed under the table that come Monday there will be an election called and he suspects that this might get recended but he also said we must get a lawyer and unit to fight this we must fight or we will sink they the MP 's will do what they can but we must show we are willing to fight by legal action and show that we will not release our rights to sporting rifles and our rights as individuals.
Well, Now They've Declared War.....

My MP (NDP) has not replied to my email on the subject (no suprise).
However, I passed on the information that I had to an acquintance who is a 12(2) owner, who duly sent an email to his MP Steven Fletcher. Within two hours of having done this, he received a phone call from Fletcher's assistant and they set a date for them to meet and discuss how to defeat and solve this problem.
It is my understanding that another Winnipeg MP, Vic Toews, is the justice critic for the C-Party. :idea: Perhaps, if he were to receive emails from all of us the question might be brought out on the parliamentary floor and/or that he might assist as best he can. I know from the past when we were trying to defeat C-68 that he (as a MB MLA) came out and supported our cause. 8)
I also work in a firearms friendly environment and have encouraged my coworkers to email/fax their MP's regarding this issue. Even though none are affected by this amendment, to date five have done so.

Got my letter yesterday when I got home from work. I especially like the way they underlined the section that says they are removing the only legitimate excuse (in their mind) to own prohib firearms. Bartok5 is 100% correct. If this stands, all 12(x) owners get ready for another nastygram when your license comes up for renewal. They swore up and down when they imposed the registry that it was not a tool for future confiscation, yet there it is underlined.
My letter is drafted and will be sent tonight. I am including one to "Mr. Baker" as well.

And therin lies the problem. People are complacent. I no longer own any of the affected firearms (damn, I wish I still did), but nonetheless I will make every effort to fight this. All gun owners should be outraged at this. How is a CA any different from a Semi? Why are some guns prohib when others that fire the same calibre from the same barrel length are not? NOne of this makes sense unless you are a liberal gun grabber. This deserves media coverage, but I reckon that as a subset of a minority of gun owners the recognition will not be forthcoming.
Our Rights
I am no lawyer, but I do not think that we have the right to bare arms. It is the same as owning a car or soemthing like that.
The point here is that they LIED to gun owners. They have also changed the intent and meaning of the legislation which is illegal.

BBB, I think Agnomen is correct. I am personally VERY PISSED. Half my toys are in this boat, and I have friends who have the majority of their collection involved.
However the inititatives posted here on CGN seem to be the only things happenning. I keep waiting to hear from some major dealer who has just lost a small fortune in their inventory, or a 'smith that is seriously affected, but nothing- the only people who appear to be doing anything are here.
Add to that a "few pissed off fun owners" have a hard time competing with the Sponsorship scandal when a reporter needs some politics news.

There is no option for refusal of SAP................
We need a different tack.
We need a different tack.
It is NRAAM or NRA annual meeting. I wonder if the good folk down south would be interested in helping our cause?? I mean, perhaps we popper neibours to the North require some financial aid, and perhaps some of their lawyers to help us with this fight!!
Just food for thought….
PS, Storm, you are still in first place to be our spokesman on this topic!!!! :wink:

Hello All!
Just a thought about getting the word out. In addition to calling MPs and CFOs for info, perhaps a few email/letters to columnists or "Letters to the Editor" of favourable papers like the National Post could start generating the coverage required.
For Your Consideration,
Frank
