PAGII kin Ask Sensible udguauurw Legislation Use Of Firearms In Canada The Canadian Wildlife Federation made good poiiil in presenting its hncf on firearms legislation to Justice Minister Cardin Federation officers argued tirat while there is an obvious need to discourage criminal use of firearms there is some danger that laws dedgsncd for this Fun pose may lend to leg late against ire arnu themselves rather thanagainsi their misuse General restrictions ur prohibitions might interfere greatly with the recreational pursuits of lawabiding eople without really acltdcving the ob ectivo of reducing the misuse of the arms by criminals The rather weak provisions of tho Criminal Code relating to firearms are under review at the moment and the sug gestions put forward by the Wildlife Federation in their brief are twofold They would select the rights of the more than 00000 Canadians who use fireanus for recreation as hunters tar get shooters and collectors and the rights of the population as whole to be roiecled from the dangers inherent in tire misuse of firearms For instancethe federation would de fine firearms more closely putting them into three classes prohl lied restncied and rting The first would include all fuii automatic weapons and other weapons such as grenade launchers and bazookas Restricted wea ns would in elude handguns guns in an overall length of less than 30 inches and some thing new firearms and other devices whose projectiles are designed for the injection of drugs rung firearms would include rifles an shotguns The federations proposals would stren gthen the Criminal Code measurably prohibiting possession of restricted fire arms by orsons who have been convict ed of an ndictabio offence or who have been declared mentally incompetent and further that conviction under said section carry substantial mandatory penalty There is genuine balance in the sutg estionsmade by the Canadian Wildli ederatlon to the justice minister that hopefully will be reflected in the revis ed legislation Dowri MEMORY LANE 10 YEARS AGO IN TOWN Barrie Examiner March 1057 ile ber Smith QC Barrie lawyer won Progressive Conservative nomination for
