The storm clouds and this legendary harbinger of death symbolize the fight Canadian gun owners find themselves in. The storm is here, and our enemies are hovering, waiting for firearms ownership in this country to die a slow, incre- mental death. To the informed, this isn’t a surprise. It’s the fight for life we’ve been expecting, and which we will win. We look forward to the day when our cover will feature a sun rising into a clear sky, without a vulture in sight. Thanks to Lowell Strauss for this bit of image poetry captured on the Saskatchewan plains.

  • How the Gun Lobby Recruits Young Blood
    Gunning for Children: How the gun lobby recruits young blood Campaign objectives: Magazines that encourage the killing of animals for ‘sport’ to be consigned to ‘top shelf’ positions in newsagents, out of sight and reach of young people, on whom the pro-violence content could have a corrosive, long-lasting effect A restriction on the sale of these publications to persons under the age of 18, thereby bringing them in line with tobacco products and magazines with an explicit sexual content The Secretary of State for Education to ensure that the promotion of gun use is prohibited on all school premises Y M A L A / P A L www.animalaid.org.uk R A F © It seems imperative that shooting magazines celebrating the… 'casual cruelty' of shooting wild animals –a kind of 'shooting porn' – should not be on sale to children and young people (u-18) and that shops and retail outlets selling such magazines should position them both out of reach and sight of children and young people. ...it also strikes me as appropriate that organisations committed to the shooting of live animals for 'sport' and 'fun' should not be offered opportunities to promote their activities in schools or (more generally) with youth organisations. Above all, “fostering healthy and environmentally-conscious attitudes to nature and wildlife conservation is fundamentally inconsistent with deriving pleasure and enjoyment from shooting animals for fun.

  • Provided Below Is Information for the Transportation of Firearms and Ammunition for Airline Travel
    Provided below is information for the transportation of firearms and ammunition for airline travel. AS STATED IN JULY 2008 Most airlines have provided a link to the specific web pages for Baggage Allowances, Carry-on Baggage information, Firearms and Ammunition, Restricted Articles and Specialty Items of which can include but is not limited to antlers, game meats and fishing equipment. The TSA website is truly the end all be all for airline travel regulations. Canadian and European transportation agencies have essentially the same regulations and generally defer some of their information to the TSA. Before starting any research for your flight it is imperative that you thoroughly look at the TSA website because they have the broadest amount of information and they are the supreme authority. When traveling internationally, here are three issues by most if not all of the airline carriers: 1) The airlines have stated that their policy for transporting firearms is the same for both domestic and international flights. 2) They advise that you call the airline desk at your departure airport to inform them that you are flying with a firearm and to get the most up-to-date information on procedures at that airport. 3) If you are transferring from one airline to another, it is imperative for you to call the second airline to check if they have any additional regulations, especially if your transfer is in an international airport. There may be additional permits or procedures to be processed prior to your arrival. 4) Certain temporary visitor permits are required if you are planning on staying overnight in an international location that is not your final destination.

  • Understanding the Sig Sauer MCX Assault Rifle Used in the Orlando Mass Shooting
    Understanding the Sig Sauer MCX Assault Rifle Used in the Orlando Mass Shooting Violence Policy Center June 2016 Violence Policy Center www.vpc.org The Sig Sauer MCX Assault Rifle Early in the morning of June 12, 2016, Omar Mateen, age 29, opened fire with a Sig Sauer MCX assault rifle at Pulse, a gay dance club in Orlando, Florida. Mateen killed 49 people and wounded 53 others. In addition to the Sig Sauer assault rifle, Mateen was also carrying a Glock semiautomatic pistol. The two weapons had been legally purchased earlier in the month from the St. Lucie Shooting Center in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Mateen was killed in a shootout when law enforcement stormed the building around 5:00 AM that morning. The massacre is the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.1 2 The MCX is a classic assault rifle and incorporates many of the characteristics that make this category of firearm so lethal and distinguish it from sporting rifles. The MCX uses detachable ammunition magazines and comes equipped with a 30-round magazine like those used in the Orlando mass shooting. The MCX is also designed with: a pistol grip; a folding, collapsible, or telescoping stock; and, a handguard. These characteristics enhance the gun’s lethality by making it easier to shoot, reload, and maneuver in closed spaces such as a dark nightclub. This backgrounder offers a brief overview of the Sig Sauer MCX assault rifle, key points about assault weapons, and a discussion about what makes assault weapons different from standard hunting and sporting firearms.

  • Understanding the Smith & Wesson M&P15 Semiautomatic Assault Rifle
    Understanding the Smith & Wesson M&P15 Semiautomatic Assault Rifle Violence Policy Center February 2018 This report discusses the history and profit motive behind Smith & Wesson’s introduction into the civilian market of its M&P15 semiautomatic assault rifles in 2006 as well as the company’s financial support of the National Rifle Association (which in May 2013 was honored by the NRA at its annual meeting for donating at least a million dollars to the organization). It then explains the history, distinguishing features, and lethal capabilities of assault rifles like the M&P15. “The entire M&P product line has been a tremendous success. These products were designed to across [sic] multiple markets including military, law enforcement, and consumer, and they're hitting − they're hitting their mark in a big way.” Mike Golden, President and CEO, Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation, June 12, 2008.1 Smith & Wesson introduced its M&P15 rifle in 2006, the first of a highly profitable line of semiautomatic assault rifles that the company aggressively markets to civilians 1 The Smith & Wesson M&P15 Assault Rifle The Smith & Wesson M&P15 assault rifle demonstrates the clear and present danger of a gun designed for war and ruthlessly marketed for profit to civilians. In early 2006, Smith & Wesson announced that it had begun shipping the first of its M&P15 rifles. The M&P (Military & Police) “tactical rifle” was the first long gun produced by a company that had been long known as a handgun manufacturer.2 According to Shooting Industry, the new rifle was “specifically engineered to meet the needs of global military and police personnel, as well as sporting shooters.”3 Smith & Wesson’s 2013 product catalog features a variety of M&P15 semiautomatic assault rifles The handgun company’s turn to assault rifles was a stark example of the gun industry’s relentless militarization of the civilian market.
