“Public officials are spitting in the face of Parliament:”
(OTTAWA -- May 3, 2012) The Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA) will officially boycott the 2012 Chief Firearms Officer's (CFO) Range Seminar on Saturday in Barrie, ON.
The association is protesting the Ontario CFO's intent to ignore Bill C-19 by demanding that firearms retailers must record all sales at the point of purchase. The CFO's decree is in direct conflict with the wording of Bill C-19 and shows contempt for the parliamentary process.
“Accordingly, the CSSA is expressing our outrage toward the Chief Firearms Office by refusing to lend credibility to their event,” says CSSA and Canadian Institute for Legislative Action executive director Tony Bernardo. “The CFOs are taking the law into their own hands and spitting in the collective face of Parliament. These public servants are way in over their heads legally and we refuse to be a part of any forum they are hosting.
