The Bill C-71 Book represents a significant milestone in the history of Canada’s firearm community. It marks the first time in the country’s history that a book is published on a draft gun law. It’s also the first major collaboration between the two groups.
The authors are critical of the planned law and urge gun owners to oppose it by engaging with members of parliament to express their concerns.
The Minister of Public Safety’s bill is directed at federally licensed hunters, farmers and sport shooters who have taken and passed RCMP-approved safety courses and background checks, and are monitored daily by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. This legislation would impose new restrictions on more than 2 million of Canada’s most scrutinized, most vetted and most responsible men and women.
“We are the staunchest advocates of responsible firearm use and public safety,” said Christopher di Armani and Nicolas Johnson, the authors. “Our concern is that Bill C-71 does not advance public safety. Bill C-71 is all about adding more restrictions on the safest and most law-abiding people in the country.”
Tony Bernardo, the executive director of the Canadian Shooting Sports Association, said: “The government is selling greater restrictions on federally licensed firearm owners as the solution to gang crime. It’s not.”

The most important part of gun rights isn’t “gun,” it’s “rights.”
