LETTER TO THE EDITOR: GUN LAWS ARE TOUGH ENOUGH Re: No timeline for tougher gun laws, Sept. 14 - September 14, 2016 2:58 PM PDT For anyone that has bothered to read the current Firearm Act (brought into law by the Liberals), Canada’s gun laws are already restrictive enough. Full stop. The Liberals are giving the RCMP final say over which firearms are restricted rather than leaving the decision with an elected cabinet. The RCMP will be able to make criminal law then enforce those same laws. That should be a danger signal for all Canadians, not just licensed firearm owners.
