I applaud your efforts. However, when the roof is leaking one should be putting their time and money into fixing the roof not changing the weather patterns.
Personally, after actively campaigning for the CA prior to the last election, although disappointed in the results, I was subsequently more disappointed in Day's performance and the in-fighting which later split the party. Also the PC's have clearly shown they have no intentions of uniting. I do hope one day the right will unite - realistically I don't expect to see it in my lifetime.
As for our OFAH, as a long time member it has become blatantly obvious to me of late they have relaxed their efforts against C-68. After all though their main focus is fishing, conservation and hunting, in that order.
Two organizations which are strongly fighting C-68 are;
The National Firearms Association;
http://www.nfa.com and
The Canadian Shooting Sports Association;
http://www.cdnshootingsports.org/can...ingsports.html
I would encourage you and all Canadian gun owners to join and support both of these organizations.
And your absolutely right. Americans may be fighting this fight sooner than later. As we speak, Sen. Charles Schumer, The Violence Policy Center, and the Brady Campaign have called for a national database of all firearms. It is promoted under the guise of "Ballistic Fingerprinting" to be able to track a firearm used in a crime. Same argument used to support the registration component of C-68.
Keep the letters going and make a couple of calls to the CFC 1-800-731-4000 gg.
