year, has become. a. political

peculiar skills we developed in those early ysars stood us in good

atead during the war. But now these windy political blowhards

woe disarm the whole nation if they thought they could get away
th it.

An “armed and informed” citizenry, he concludes, “could
provide one of our beat defences against takeovers from within
and without.” Ru - ‘

Several readers sensé in the gun control legislation an
insidious conspiracy. ieee ,

* “The main reason for the laws is so Trudeau can confiscate all
guns and arms of any kind when he changes Canada to a republic,”
one reader warned. - * op rae

* “A government with an armed police force‘or military forces

- at their disposal could easily subjugate the population,” wrote

another. “Look what happened to’some countries in Eastern
Bere after World War Two. These same or similar tactics were
then.” ae

Gun control that the legisl

prop is
aimed at domestic disputes, accidental shootings and-criminal use '

of firearms “is merely a smoke screen for something bigger and

* something downright shady,” he writes,

The registration system for restricted firearms "has become a
bloated bureaucracy that is top-heavy, inefficient and expensive,”
according to one reader,

“In the 48 years that it has been in existence, it has been
responsible for returning only 20 per cent of.lost and stolen
firearms,” he said, “And there is only one documented case where
a crime was solved because the firearm in question was regis-
tered.” :

In addition, the reader said, the order-in-couneil portion of Bill
C51 “gives too much power to too few people.”.A gun owner can be
chatged with careless storage” and: yet nowhere in the Bill is
careless storage defined,” he said in the letter,

‘According to one letter, such legislation would place former
legitimate gun owners even more’ at’ the mercy of the criminal
element. % t, 2

“Tho armed criminals and hoods could raid any home or ‘any

premises with no fear of retaliation,” the letter sald, -—

The same view is echoed by another reader, who says
criminals “never did pay any attention to laws of any kind, on guns
or otherwise.” :

Another reader challenged statements that domestic disputes
and killings — the main target ‘of such legislation — would be
deterred by gun control. Research has shown, he said, “that a
large portion of these were elther‘drug- or alcohol-related by
people who would: hardly be classed a normal legitimate gun
owners.” ° a b
“As to hazards, the shooting sports rank 14th down the line,
somewhere near ping pong,” the letter’ continued. “Where else can
you obtain $500,000 in personal lability insurance for $2.60 a
year?”

A letter from an apparent pistol, owner criticized the
legislation for permitting hand gun owners to carry their weapons
to and from shooting ranges. ¥

“I think that we should be able to carry them also if going
camping way back in the bush, hiking or fishing,” the letter said,
“These guns are registered and we are all required to be sound of
mind as we are checked by the police and have no eriminal record.”

“Also, when legitimate gun owners go to the police to register
a gun we are very often treated like criminals and receive a great
hassle while being a law-abiding citizen,” it added.

- A better law, writes another reader, “would be not to allow
drunken drivers licences to drive as they kill far more innocent
