Tories refunded millions to gun owner under fee waivers, amnesty
The Conservative government refunded nearly $21 million in licence fees to more than 340,000 rifle and shotgun owners in 2006, the Tories` first year in power after years of railing in opposition against the national long-gun registry.
Well, it's at least a step in the right direction toward personal freedom by our neighbours to the north. Next step: abolish that national gun registry that is not working and is a running sore on the Canadian dominion-wide budget.
After that, they can talk about an amendment to their constitution similar to our Second Amendment, but with greater clarity of language. I would suggest something on the order of: "The right of the People to own, keep and use firearms is absolute and individual; and may not be infringed by any national, provincial, county or municipal law, regulation, ordinance or decree."
