*
, The majority of Canadian gun owners
have traditionally supported gun control in
Canada.
Many of these people are sports
hunters, target shooters or collectors, and
others use their guns to hunt or trap in order
to support their families. Generally, they are
Canada’s responsible gun users.
There is a small but growing group of
people in Canada, however, who make
criminal use of guns. For example, armed
robberies increased 38% from 1974 to 1976. It
is this group that the new gun control
legislation will deal with through longer,
mandatory prison sentences and prohibition
powers.
The misuse of guns is increasing as
well. Last year approximately 300 people
were victims of homicide with a gun. Many in
an impulsive moment of violence among
family members or friends. New
court-ordered prohibitions, police search and
seizure powers, and higher gun safety
standards will reduce the needless toll of
deaths and injuries.
With the continued support of
Canadians for gun control, we will reduce the
criminal and irresponsible use of guns.
In short, we’ll be working together to
save lives.
“I own my own guns. How does the new Gun
Control legislation affect me?”
If you own only hunting rifles and you
store them safely, it won’t affect you at all.
However, certain other guns will be either
restricted or prohibited. Basically, all
centre-fire semi-automatics with a barrel
length of less than 18*Zj” are now restricted
and must be registered. Handguns have
been restricted since 1934. Sawed-off rifles
and shotguns, guns with silencers and fully
automatic weapons, are now prohibited,
except those fully automatics registered to
collectors before January I, 1978.
“I’m glad you’re getting tougher
with criminals using firearms.
What happens to them?”
Anyone convicted of using a firearm
while committing or attempting to commit a
criminal offense will be sent to prison for not
less than one year and not more than 14
years. This sentence cannot be suspended
As well, maximum prison sentences for
other firearm offences have been doubled.
“Is it true that police officers have new,
extended search and seizure powers?”
Yes. Police officers can now seize .
firearms without a search warrant if they
consider them hazardous to the immediate
safety of any individual. They will then have
to justify the grounds for the search to a
magistrate.
“I now own a prohibited weapon.
What do I do?”
It is against the Jaw to be in possession
of a prohibited weapon. You should contact
your local police as soon as possible in order
to turn the weapon over to them or to make
other arrangements for its disposal. Failure
to do so could result in your being
prosecuted.
“ What does safe handling and storage of guns ,,
have to do with Gun Control?”
Last year in Canada, there were over
120 accidental deaths due to the careless use
of firearms. Under the new legislation, gun
owners are responsible for the safe storage
of their weapons. For example, if your gun
is used in a criminal action, you could be
charged with careless storage if such is
decided in court.
“My rifle is now on the restricted list.
How do I register it?”
Contact your local police immediately
and register the gun with them. Failure to do
so is punishable by a prison sentence of up
to five years.
“How do you plan on keeping guns
out of the hands of people who aren’t able
to use them safely?”
Through Firearms Acquisition
Certificates and the courts’ prohibition
powers. The provincially administered
F. A.C. system will come into effect January
1, 1979. It is designed to prevent unfit and
incompetent persons from acquiring guns.
The new prohibition power allows the
courts to take guns away from dangerous
persons.
“Why is Gun Control so important?”
Ultimately, to make Canadians safer
from the misuse of firearms. Last year alone
over 1,400 people were killed by guns.
Through tighter firearms control,
safety education and the encouragement of
responsible gun ownership and use, we will
be able to reduce the level of firearm
violence.
“I would like to learn more about the safe and
proper use of guns, and more detail on
restricted and prohibited weapons. Who
should I see?”

Chief Provincial Firearms Officer, or write:
