Huronites called "yahoos"
A call for more stringent gun
controls coupled with an attack
on Ontario's rural population
sparked a furor in the Ontario
Legislature recently.
Tory MPP Frank Drea
(Scarborough Centre) insisted
that Ontari9 should "register
- the character of the person who
owns firearms, not-
withstanding the fact the
federal government has
•lurisdictional rights to deal
with handguns."
Drea wants the Ontario
government "to see the people
who have rifles and who have
handguns. It means that they
are going to come to us and
they are going to have to tell us
what they want them for."
In a speech which drew
furious •heckling • from op-
position MPPs, Drea snapped:
"I know all of the yahoos and
rednecks from the farm
country are going to say" this
• sort of legislation "will take
14,!' away the - .22 -rifle- from the
•stockman who wants to kill
rodents or V) shoot wolves."
"Careful novrIP an honorable
member cautioned.
Huron Liberal Jack' Riddell.
retorted: "This will make good
reading for our good rural
friends."
"I suggest to you, sir," Drea
countered; "that ,the time has
come for gun control in this
province and if the yahoos don't
like it, let them stand up and
run against it."
Riddell threw the challenge
back. '31 the member wants to
come into my riding we'll go
and visit these people he is
calling yahoos. Stop referring
to the rural people as being
yahoos."
"Who is going to be af-
fected?" Drea asked. •
Riddell shotted out the an-
swer. "The farmer who wants
to shoot the rabid skunk is the
guy who is going to be af-
fected....Rabid animals affect
the livestock. The farmers
won't be able to shoot them
