Our local MP Cheryl Gallant, is calling on Public Safety Minister Bill Blair to immediately allow the public to do searches on the RCMP Firearms Reference Table to prevent further criminalizing law-abiding firearms owners.
She says it is a situation that is in constant flux, as what is legal one day could be banned the next.
Law-abiding gun owners can go online and check out the Firearms Reference Table- but what is available to the public is both clumsy and cumbersome.
Gallant says the public FRT is not updated on any regular basis, thus leaving lawful firearms owners at risk of arrest.
She is asking constituents to protest the disparity by writing directly to RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucky.
