TheGunBlog.ca — The Royal Canadian Mounted Police redesigned the website for its Canadian Firearms Program, which manages licensing for the country’s 2.2 million gun-licence holders and tracks when they buy and sell guns.
“The Canadian Firearms Program website has a new look!” the Ottawa-based agency said today on its new homepage. “The website has been updated to help you find information more easily. Please update your bookmarks.”
The agency has said previously:
- It’s working to publish its Firearms Reference Table of opinions on gun classifications.
- It’s working on an online portal for the thousands of hunters, farmers, ranchers, sport shooters and collectors who will need to contact the RCMP every day to request authorization to buy or sell so-called “Non-restricted” rifles and shotguns under Bill C-71.
