A MESSAGE FROM PROFESSOR GARY MAUSER, RE: PROPOSED FIREARMS AMNESTY
I'm asking you to help me get as many people as you can to sign and
send in a letter saying we support the proposed amnesty.
The government is proposing to extend the current amnesty for
registering long guns but it will do so only if it can get enough
public support.
Public comment must be received by April 21, 2007.
This proposed extension depends upon receiving public support. We
only have a few days to reply. For letters sent by Canada Post to get to
Ottawa by the 21st, they will have to be mailed from BC by this Wednesday night.
Of course, you'll have a few more days to dilly dally if you use email or phone.
I know that some of you have already written the RCMP to urge them to
extend the current amnesty for registering long guns. I appreciate
your help.
But we need to do more; we need to flood them with letters because we
know Wendy Cukier and her anti-gun friends will be working hard to
frighten people that this amnesty will unleash the mad dog gun owners.
I would very much appreciate if you would help me with this task. If
each of you can get just 5 additional people to sign and send in
these letters, it could make a big difference.
Never give up!
Gary

Proposal for firearms amnesty
OTTAWA, April 11, 2007 - The Honourable Stockwell Day, Minister of Public Safety, today announced that the Government of Canada is seeking comments on a proposal to extend the firearms amnesty for one more year.
An Amending Order, pursuant to Subsection 117.14(1) of the Criminal Code was pre-published in the Canada Gazette Saturday April 7, 2007. The Public can comment on the proposed amnesty until April 21st, 2007. If approved, the extension would be in effect until May 16, 2008 and would provide an additional period for non-restricted firearm owners to become compliant with licensing and registration requirements. The current amnesty expires on May 16, 2007.
The Firearms Act, which has been in place since 1995, and the Criminal Code require that all firearms owners be licensed and all firearms be registered. According to the current law, in order to legally retain firearms, owners must hold both a valid licence and a registration certificate for those firearms.

Gun control doesn't matter to criminals, what we need is more crime control. Guns are readily available, more so to the underworld than to legal law abiding citizens. Harsher sentences, less leniency for violent crimes, and perhaps if we were to make the doctors who misdiagnose most of the sociopaths, make them accountable, perhaps then we would see less crime. CRIME CONTROL-NOT GUN CONTROL is the answer.
