TheGunBlog.ca — The Yukon Party today urged the territory’s governing Liberal Party to pass new laws to protect gun users from the federal Liberal Party’s attacks.
Highlights
- Protect the rights of responsible gun users
- Block unjust federal restrictions, prohibitions and confiscations
- Yukon to appoint its own Chief Firearms Officer
- Model law after provincial firearms acts in Alberta and Saskatchewan
Why It Matters
- Yukon would be joining Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and other regions in actively opposing or refusing to help the federal Liberal crackdowns targeting lawful gun users.
- Almost one in four Yukon voters has a government-authorized firearm licence (PAL), the highest percentage of any province or territory.
Yukon Party Statement
The Yukon Party Caucus said today in a statement:
The Yukon Party Official Opposition is calling on the Yukon Liberal government to take action to protect the rights of hunters and other firearms owners by developing a Yukon Firearms Act. In concert with the act’s development, the Yukon Party is also calling for the establishment of a territorially appointed Chief Firearms Officer position for the Yukon.
…
These actions are necessary in response to the federal Liberal government’s passing of Bill C-21, and Prime Minister Trudeau’s intention to confiscate lawfully acquired firearms from innocent Yukoners through the so-called gun ‘buy-back’ program.
