News Bulletin on
Oscar Lacombe and Paul Martin's gun registry
BULLETIN
Alberta Justice Minister David Hancock was steadily heckled in the Legislature by members of his own party (even by fellow cabinet minister Mark Norris) on April 28 for his department's Criminal Code prosecution of Oscar Lacombe. As Hancock delivered his three-year departmental business plan, fellow Tory MLAs kept calling out "Free Oscar!" "Free Oscar!"
Just goes to show, 114,000 e-mails can drive home a point. Keep them coming! (See below.)
Garry Breitkreuz, MP, has circulated the following apparently true anecdote, gleaned from the Edmonton Journal. A man named D.T. Anderson has spent the last three years trying to register a .32-calibre handgun. After being told several times (alternately) that he is/is not allowed to own it, he was warned he could be prosecuted. But then he was informed that, yes, the gun had been registered, but that he had died in May 2007. Which leaves Mr. Anderson three years to get his affairs (and his CFC paperwork) in order.
TAKE ACTION
A national campaign to defeat gun control
Since voters learned a year ago what a costly, pointless waste the federal gun registry is, the firearms program has lost majority approval in every province in Canada (JMCK Polling, November 2003).
It can now be defeated if:
1. ...enough voters make it an issue in the upcoming election. (The Citizens Centre is now completing a national e-mail list of candidates so you'll soon be able to contact them directly.)
2. ...we push PROVINCIAL governments to STOP co-operating with gun registry enforcement, STOP prosecuting it themselves, and STOP letting Ottawa prosecute it under the Criminal Code.
You can now e-mail your own provincial ministers (attorney-general, premier and solicitor general) and your letter will be copied to all similar decision-makers across the country. Click here to read the background, preview the letter, and send it off.
