Stephen Harper
From Gunsopedia
Every Canadian knows who Stephen Harper is. What not every Canadian might know is what he REALLY promised, not just about the long gun registry but about the firearms act:
I was and still am in total agreement with the statement made in the House of Commons by former Reform Leader Preston Manning on 13 June 1995:
- “Bill C-68, if passed into law will not be a good law. It will be a blight on the legislative record of the government, a law that fails the three great tests of constitutionality, of effectiveness and of democratic consent to the governed. What should be the fate of a bad a law? It should be repealed ...”
Bill C-68 [The Firearms Act] has proven to be a bad law and has created a bureaucratic nightmare for both gun owners and the government.
As Leader of the Official Opposition, I will use all powers afforded to me as Leader and continue our party’s fight to repeal Bill C-68 and replace it with a firearms control system that is cost effective and respects the rights of Canadians to own and use firearms responsibly.
— Stephen Harper, January 2002
DO NOT FORGET! HOLD HIM TO HIS PROMISE!
