Canadian Firearms Rights Webring
This website is dedicated to responsible firearms owners everywhere. Four reasons why C-68 (AKA the Firearms Act; Canada's latest incoherent mess of firearm regulations) should be repealed and replaced with something more practical:
- The costs of this bill are far higher than were anticipated. The startup costs of this bill were supposed to be only about $85 million over 5 years. Instead, we've already spent over $700 million and continue to funnel tax dollars into a pit of indeterminate depth. The cost can only continue to rise. We will not accept confiscation without compensation. Fair dollar must be paid for any confiscated firearms - and this alone could run into to billions. 21 million firearms x an average $500 each = 10.5 billion dollars in compensation alone, added to the cost of fighting each owner every step of the way through the court system. The cost of a bad law is not simply financial in nature, as such laws can act to foment currents of discontent within a society.
- Firearm registration - a major focus of the Firearms Act - has proved to be ineffective in reducing firearm-related crime. Criminals typically don't pay taxes on their illegal income and they certainly won't use their illegal income to purchase government licenses for their illegal firearms. That's why we call 'em criminals - they don't obey laws.
- Bill C-68 reduces your rights - even if you don't own firearms! Several important freedoms -- property rights, the right to remain free from unreasonable search & seizure, your right to privacy, and your right to remain silent -- are trampled upon by this bill.
- Paranoid gun policies take guns from pilots and disarm victims. This point is here in memory of the more than 3,000 who died in the World Trade Center attacks. Had pilots aboard those aircraft been carrying firearms, thousands of children might still have parents today.
C-68 was the bill designation for the Firearms Act. The term "C-68" throughout this site refers to the Firearms Act, and not to other bills.
