CCFR calls for Blair’s Removal
 OTTAWA, ON -The Canadian Coalition for Firearm  Rights (CCFR) is calling for the immediate removal of Minister Bill  Blair from the Public Safety file.
Following a reading of yesterday’s regulation banning a swath of  semi-automatic firearms and a briefing with officials from Public  Safety, CBSA, Global Affairs, RCMP and the Department of Justice, it was  made abundantly clear that the regulations were crafted in haste, and  that the government has neither planned nor formulated the rest of the  legislation required to implement their hastily crafted policy. As a  result, the regulation is both flawed and dangerous.
 
During the briefing the government could not answer simple questions  about the methods used for selection, why bolt action firearms were  included on the list, why some shotguns are caught in the bore diameter  restrictions, why some rimfire firearms are listed contrary to the  selection criteria, and on and on. They also stated that the government,  on behalf of the Governor in Council, has deemed the list of firearms  banned as “not suitable for hunting or sport shooting”, but  simultaneously provided an exemption for indigenous owners for the  purpose of hunting. Further, this is contrary to the decades-long  history of these very firearms being safely used for hunting and sport  shooting.
This entire regulation bears the mark of an irrational process done in haste, and it divides Canadians.
 
The CCFR further noted that some of the firearms listed in the  regulation that are classified as prohibited have exactly the same  specifications as other firearms not on the list. This is entirely  random and proves without doubt, that the choices made were entirely  political in nature. That is not a proper basis for legislation in a  democracy.
 
There are also flaws in that no consideration has been given to  firearm owners who may move residency within the amnesty period, since  transporting of these prohibited firearms is not permitted.
 
The level of incompetence in this act by the Liberal government is  astounding. As a result, we feel the Prime Minister and Canadians have  been grossly under-served by the Minister and call for his immediate  removal from over-seeing this process, and for the repealing of this  regulation in order to consult technical experts.
 
In the interim, the CCFR recommends that Canadian firearm owners  retain their firearms and NOT turn them in to the government. 
This  deeply flawed process must be reversed immediately. Consultations with  legal experts are ongoing.

Bravo CCFR.
Rimfires included.
Websites included.
Locksmith business included.
Bolt action rifles included.
Obviously, Trudeau and Blair are totally incompetent.
Despite the gov't claiming none of these guns are any good for hunting, indigenous peoples are currently exempt, as they need their guns for hunting.  What?
All Canadians are equal.  Some Canadians are more equal than others.
