Mr. Speaker, the Franchi is a shotgun with a short stock.
The seizures of registered previously legal firearms under Kim Campbell's orders in council have been declared unlawful by Alberta courts. The crown is appealing but the minister has, nevertheless, bulled ahead with more potentially illegal OICs. Why is he not prepared to await the legal outcome to let this run through the courts before confiscating more lawfully owned property from honest citizens who trustingly registered them before the orders were issued?
