Carrot River Valley MLA’s motion on firearms owners’ rights passes unanimously
The provincial government has passed a Private Member’s Motion by Carrot River Valley MLA Fred Bradshaw.
The motion calls on the Federal Government to allow the Government of Saskatchewan to administer and regulate legal firearms possession. The move comes after the federal Liberals passed Bill C-21, which saw the codifying of the national handgun freeze, meaning handguns cannot be imported, purchased, or transferred.
The provincial government maintains the bill does not enhance public safety and takes rights away from law-abiding firearms owners.
Bradshaw told northeastNOW that the federal government’s bill allows them to confiscate handguns from legal firearms owners without compensation.
