I really can't see a wildlife officer having the authority to seize a firearm.
If a RCMP want's to, well they can.
If someone gets their Firearm taken, theey should take the matter to court. There are a limited # of Federal prosecuters in Alberta. This should tie up the system for awhile.
Further, I think it's a shame about the Alberta Gov. suggesting to the feds that they should take over the responsibility of handling/trying all federal crimes. Didn't the Province go to court to fight the fact that the feds were in teritory they didn't belong? Now they want to do their dirty work?
But then again...maybe this is a way to dismiss all these types of cases before the courts.
Who knows, just get a licence in case. Who needs the cost of getting a lawyer? On the other hand, register all your firearms? No way..
