By THE ONTARIO Revolver Association (ORA) has chal- lenged the right of the Can- adian Wildlife Federation to present a brief on firearms legislation to the Minister of Justice in the Federal Govern- ment. This was to be expected because in its zeal to domi- nate the sporting and conser- vation field in Canada, the people in the Federation. re- sponsible for the preparation of the brief failed to collabo- rate with the only people wio are qualified to speak and act for users and owners of hand- guns. As a result, the ORA is preparing to do battle with the Federation in an effort to stop the drastic legislation sug- gested by the brief in respect to handguns, It should there- fore be of great interest to local hand gunners to know something of the suggestions contained in this paper. THE CWF proposals point out that crime rates have in- creased in recent years, but OUTDOORS Times Outdoor Writer Bill Owens interfering "with the recrea- tional pursuits of law-abiding citizens." SPACE DOES not permit a more detailed listing of other aspects of the brief, but there is no doubt in the mind of the ORA that if permitted to go unchallenged, and with the possible backing of some in- fluential 'anti - gun organiza- tion, the Federal Government night take a serious look at this brief. Furthermore, if the recommendations. were ever made into Jaw it would be a short step to restricting the use of shotguns and rifles. The only glimmer of hope in | this dismal proposal is the | objections raised by two lead- | | | ing organizations in Ontario. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, through its outgoing president Jack O"Dette of Kingston (who is an ardent handgunner him- self), presented their objec- tions to the executive director of the Canadian Wildlife Fed- no authority is given for this eration. The other organiza- statement. Similarily, no tion is the ORA. The ob- qualified reason is given to jections of the anglers and the statement that criminals hunters federation was ig- | have "easy access to sub- nored by the WF _ because machine guns and other types of weapons." The brief points out that the "unfortunate events" occurring in the United States during the last two years or so has focused in- tense public interest in fire- arms' legislation in the U.S., and that it has had its counter- part in Canada but in a "somewhat milder manner," AT FIRST GLANCE, | this may be construed as meaning that a large part of the Can- adian population is prepared to accept any means that will tend to eliminate crimes in- volving hand guns. This is not the case because the general public expects qualified people like the ORA, provincial police and our own legislators to take a hand in this. The brief further points out that there is in excess of 2,000,000 people in Canada who own guns which are used in hunting, target Shooting and other recreational use, and that the object of the brief is to disarm criminals without "they were the only provincial affiliate in Canada' who | raised any fuss. As a result of | this we can expect some dramatic action from the On- tario federation. THE ONTARIO Revolver Association has received the | go-ahead nod from its parent | body and is now inthe process | of preparing its own brief on | this matter and which also will be presented to Ottawa. | "NOW THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE ON AGENDA" the home of Mide Stewart, Former Oshawa Generals' goalkeeper Harver Bennett, second from right, shows two of his Cranston, Rhode Island, hockey players the schedule for this weekend as they prepare to head for teams.
