I filled out and submitted. I don’t like the proposal at all and I feel like the federal liberals can’t help themselves when it comes to tinkering with firearms laws. But we will do more good by keeping the anger and name calling to ourselves.
I asked for better tracing capacity for police, addressing at risk adolescents especially in urban areas and tighter borders. I pointed out the Feds cherry picking of violent crime statistics and the proposal’s parallels to the failed approach to the drug war. Then I asked to be allowed to carry a handgun in the backcountry.
Voting helps, but don’t count on every conservative government spending political capital on firearms issues. We need to sway whatever government is in power and not count on the next one to fix things.
Ok. I’m done.
