Dear Minister Blair;

I am writing to you to express my deep concern with actions your government is taking to unfairly target lawful gun owners. Your proposed “solution” ban legally acquired firearms from lawful owners and implement a buy back program is insulting to millions of law-abiding Canadian voters. The proposal to ban “assault weapons” in nonsensical and I expect that as a former police chief you know that the Firearms Act already prohibits Canadians from acquiring fully automatic machine guns. The idea of banning certain semi-automatic firearms based on their appearance should be repugnant to anyone that has a modicum of sense. Your time and effort would be much better spent combating actual criminals that use illegally possessed and often smuggled pistols while committing other crimes in urban centres. Canadians expect better of you then this pandering rhetoric and the appearance of doing something while not accomplishing the goal of making any Canadian safer from common criminals toting illicit handguns.

Sincerely,

Your Name
