Canadians Resisting Tough New Gun Law By Colin Nickerson, The Boston Globe, Published Wednesday, January 10, 2001, in the Miami Herald "But even the (Canadian) federal government concedes that a minimum of 400,000 of the country's estimated 2.2 million gun owners have refused to comply -- a shocking figure in a society where respect for the law is second nature. And the real tally of noncompliers may be much higher: Gun groups count six million privately owned rifles and shotguns in Canada, meaning that millions of citizens may be defying the law." If millions of citizens choosing to become criminals is not a skyrocketing crime rate, I don't know what is. Cecil, That's a civil protest, the people 'protesting' in this fashion are already registered FAC (Firearm Acquisition Certificate) holders. What they are doing is protesting the BILLION+ dollar fiasco that was originally put forth as something that would cost taxpayers $2 million. The fellows protesting are openly identifying themselves, not hiding from the law. Furthermore, the federal government has already backed down on enforcing it and the opposition party (that would be the Conservative party, not the Liberal party - they are the current Majority; but I'm sure you already knew that) is attempting to have it scrapped entirely - something the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police also want scrapped. (rumour has it the bad guys have neither an FAC nor a specific permit per firearm.) That's what this foolishness is all about - registering EACH SPECIFIC firearm separately. As an NRA guy, I don't think your would refer to these fellows as criminals. Bob |
