Ontario Council sends a letter to Premier McGuinty asking that he pressure the federal government to both maintain the records that have already been collected with the long gun registry, and to denounce the potential changes that have been in place since 1977:

  • Eliminating mandatory license checks with the Registrar for the purchase of non-restricted firearms to ensure that individuals are still eligible to hold licenses; and
  • Eliminating the need to maintain transaction records of non-restricted gun sales that have been in place since 1977, tracking the sale or transfer of firearms
