CPC Leadership Candidate Report Card – Firearms Policy

Grades are based on published comments and the candidates’ published policy if one exists. The NFA believes that the firearms control scheme is a failed social experiment that has been a waste of tax dollars – it has no benefit to public safety, nor does it reduce crime. It burdens the court with administrative offences that have no victim. In practical terms, firearms control is expensive, doesn’t work, and wastes time of people and the courts. The highest rated candidate is Erin O’Toole with an A.
