TAKING AIM AT GUN REGISTRY CLAIMS

————————————————————————
——–

Regarding the letter, Harper can’t claim to speak for families (Aug. 9).

Kevin Spafford claims that the gun registry is responsible for the
rejection of 13,000 firearms licences.

This claim is absolutely false.

Licence rejections take place during the licence application process,
which is totally separate from long-gun registration.

Only those who have been approved for a firearms licence can register a
firearm, thereby making the registry redundant.

Liberal MPs often make this same incorrect claim, which is simply
Liberal propaganda.
