Bill C-391 Vote Sept. 22nd
Parliament resumes on Sept 20th and the vote on Bill C-391 is scheduled for September 22nd. By now you know the drill. Let your MP know how important ending the registry is you. Click on MP locator, find your MP and contact them at their home constituency office. They are home till the 20th. If you have already contacted them great, but do it again, if you haven’t contacted them yet get busy.
Special attention should be given to the opposition MPs that supported the bill. Contact them, be polite, thank them for supporting the Bill in the past and ask them to continue that support. (Click for Contact Information)
The Liberals and left-wing media who normally want to portray themselves as the champions of democracy just can’t stand the fact that these rural members are actually going to listen to their constituents and vote the way they want them to. |
Members of the firearms community need to see the vote in the fall for the opportunity it really is – yes, we think we’ve been close to scrapping the registry before but we’ve never been this close. |

A new RCMP report on the Canadian Firearms Program contains no evidence on the effectiveness of the long-gun registry, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews says.

The report, released this week by Toews to MPs on the House public safety committee, concludes the firearms program is cost effective, efficient and an important tool for law enforcement and public safety, while also calling the firearms registration component "a critical component."
But Toews said the report dealt with Canada's overall gun-control program, including the licensing of firearms.
"What I heard from that report is that there's certainly no conclusive evidence one way or the other about the effectiveness of the long-gun registry," Toews told reporters on Wednesday in Halifax after a speech on border security.
