e-2212 (Firearms)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- The government of Canada has failed to effectively remove firearms and other lethal weapons from the hands of criminals;
- Bans and laws have never prevented criminal behaviour and there is no factual evidence that banning legal firearm ownership will reduce the number of firearms possessed by criminals;
- Firearm ownership has traditionally contributed enormously to our economy through cultural activities, sports, tourism and a host of other entirely beneficial spinoffs; and
- Previous firearms legislation has proven reasonably effective at ensuring the safety of Canadians.
