OPERATION ZERO TOLERANCE

Zero Tolerance on Gun Control Abuses

Canada’s National Firearms Association announces Operation Zero Tolerance to expose planned gun control abuses. It has come to the attention of Canada's National Firearms Association that the political police chief heads of law enforcement associations are planning a nation wide blitz against licensed firearms owners, as retribution for the political action of the Canadian firearms community that has resulted in the final vote in parliament of Manitoba MP Candice Hoeppner's Bill C-391.

The Canadian Association of Police Chiefs (CAPC) has formed a "National Firearms Policy" in order to coordinate enforcement initiatives against licensed firearms owners with registered firearms. Canada's National Firearms Association has information that CACP will be directing their members to clamp down on licensed firearms owners with registered firearms as punishment for their political action to reform bad firearms control laws.

* All paperwork offenses will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, despite the current limited federal government amnesty which ends in May 2011.

* Home inspections will be performed on an ever increasing basis on firearms owners with more than ten registered firearms, and all restricted and prohibited firearms owners.

* Registered firearms will be seized despite their legal use or status, with the onus put on their owners to navigate the firearms bureaucracy and legal system in order to retrieve them. Furthermore, CACP will lobby for a national handgun ban, the confiscation of all registered handguns in Canada, and the reclassification of all semi automatic firearms as "Restricted" or "Prohibited" firearms.

CACP lobbyist Bill Blair's record as Chief of the Toronto Police Service is an indication of the treatment by law enforcement he wishes to impose on all Canadians. As Chief of Police, Bill Blair ordered Toronto Police Service to target senior citizens and confiscate their firearms for paperwork offenses, and conduct a campaign of harassment against anyone with a firearms license and a registered firearm.

Canada's National Firearms Association advises all firearms owners:

*Check the expiration date on your firearms license, and make sure it is valid. Allowing a firearms license to expire is a criminal offense subject to criminal code punishment, especially if you own restricted or grandfathered prohibited firearms. Allowing a firearms license to expire may result in the loss of your grandfathering privileges.

*Check your current firearms storage system. Read the Firearms Act and ensure that your firearms storage system complies or exceeds safe storage regulations.

*Review your current firearms transportation methods and check the expiration date on your authorizations to transport firearms in the case of restricted firearms and prohibited handguns. Make sure you are in full compliance or better with firearms transportation regulations.

*Contact the Canada Firearms Centre and ensure that your firearms registration records are complete and accurate. Make sure all of your transfers and acquisitions have been recorded correctly. If they are not, you will be held accountable, not the Canada Firearms Centre.


IF YOU HAVE BEEN TARGETED AND CHARGED UNDER THE POLITICAL POLICE CHIEF'S GUN BLITZ, CONTACT CANADA'S NATIONAL FIREARMS ASSOCIATION AT (877) 818 - 0393. or visit us on the web at: www.nfa.ca. Each incident will be catalogued and brought to the attention of the Minister of Public Safety of Canada, to demonstrate the gun control agenda of the political police.

I thought retribution only happened on playgrounds. It would appear that these Police Cheifs are nothing but a bunch af sally's, at best maybe a few susans.

Geez Canada, What gives?
Even under our new socialist regime here in the good old USA, our gun laws continue to be relaxed as proof keeps rolling in that armed, honest citizens are an excellent form of crime prevention.
I'm saddened by this for all my Canadian brothers and sisters out there who simply want the right to keep arms for sporting purposes.
KEEP FIGHTING, never give up!

Unfortunately, there are too many firearms owners in Canada who are far too complacent when it comes to the possibility of losing their firearms. It happened with the 12(6) legislation. Most people figured it didn't concern them and therefore, it passed easily.

Well, handguns will be next, if we don't step up and say 'no'. But, most hunters, again, think that it doesn't concern them if they don't own any.

Then the door will be opened to semis. Yep, kiss your favourite duck hunting semi-automatic shotgun goodbye. Again, some folks won't think it concerns them, because they use a pump anyway.

Guess what? They'll come for your 'high powered sniper rifles' next. But, most hunters will say 'high powered sniper rifles? I don't own any of those'. Well...yeah, actually, according to the antis you do and the last time I checked, a scoped .30-06 is far more dangerous in someone's hands who has the intention to hurt others than a handgun is.

It's a slippery slope that has already started and it's time to put up a dam. I may not shoot the so called 'black rifles', but I'll be damned if I'm going to let those guys lose their privilege to shoot them, because I know that my 'sporting arms' will be next.

Uhhhh, guess again. Check out what's coming down the pike. This came out today:

Incrementalism is how it's done in our nation. And when they've reached a certain critical mass, then our govt. will do what Canada's is now doing!

It's time to wake up folks!

Yes,
I am aware of this. With the understanding that I'm not taking this lightly, bills and propositions like this are constantly being introduced. We have the NRA to fight for us against this kind of crap and typically it doesn't go too far.

If it did, There are several alternatives already available for shotgun "shot" as I'm sure you know, and rifle bullets can be turned from solid copper, which is not considered armour piercing.
Well done spreading the word however and keep it up! We must unite with our Canadian Brothers and Sisters in this fight for our freedoms.

There is no crying in hunting. It is the firearm owners own fault if the "dark forces" are successful.

At least you do not have to use your guns anymore to fight for your right to live the way you want to live. We should invest some time and brain in paper, pen, phone and mail.........and buy a new gun just to p&%^ them off

[Pydpiper]

There is a fairly lengthy discussion of this on Canadian Gun Nutz, lots of speculation mixed with some facts.
The thread does contain every necessary email address to write to those who count, if that is your intention.

What business does the Canadian Association of Police Chiefs have in dictating legislation anyway? They are not elected officials. This campaign that they have started, be it one of public relations, or one more sinister, in order to attempt to change public opinion is a fight that they should not be involved in. It looks to me like they are getting desperate, knowing this is a fight that they are going to lose and in turn, know that they are going to lose funding because of it. They'll no longer be able to state the number of 'registry hits' in their statistics, which means they won't be able to make a case for more money based on those statistics. Of course, the Conservatives are more than willing to take the savings from the registry and re-direct it into policing, a fact that seems to be lost on the CAPC.

Law enforcement officials only dictate legislation in certain countries, both in history and in present and that's not the Canada I want to live in. God keep our land, glorious and free? Seems that some don't want it that way.

"When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out."

THE PEOPLE IN CANADA NEED TO FIGHT THIS AND ALL FORMS OF GUN CONTROL. LOOK NO FURTHER THAN GREAT BRITAIN.
