Joe, what is the N.C.P.T.W.F. ? Willy - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Willy, I provided folks with the url for all the information you seek. Please use it. http://www.geocities.com/akimoya/ncptwf.presentation.html#5 Thanks must also be sent to Mr. Bruce Mills. It is through his thoughtful and dedicated efforts that we have this information available for the firearms community to discuss today. Yours in Tyranny, Joe Gingrich White Fox - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Introduction: Representing over 500,000 members across Canada, the National Coalition of Provincial and Territorial Wildlife Federations [N.C.P.T.W.F.] consists of all of Canada's provincial and territorial wildlife federations or associations: a unified voice of conservation minded anglers and hunters. All our organizations are committed to and advocate the continued ownership, safe storage and use of all now legally possessed firearms by Canadian citizens, including hunting rifles, shotguns, handguns, other restricted and registered firearms, and grandfathered prohibited firearms. Membership in our organizations is voluntary, and open to anybody who participates in the conservation and wise use of Canada's natural resources and supports sporting activities related to these natural resources such as hunting along with other shooting sports. Members join our organizations individually, or through organized local member clubs. They come from both urban and rural areas, have varying economic status, different cultural backgrounds, but overwhelmingly, own and use firearms legally and responsibly. Individual members of the organizations that make up the National Coalition come from both urban and rural areas of the country, in varying percentages. In the more rural provinces, the vast majority of our membership base is, understandably from the more rural areas of the province. In the provinces with large urban centres, the urban-rural membership division moves closer to 50/50: indicating a strong dedicated interest in conservation and the shooting sports among urbanites. There is not an urban centre in Canada without strong, vocal, informed and active members and affiliated clubs. Established in the summer of 1994 out of concern for Mr. Rock's apparent intent to target law- abiding citizens with even more restrictions and unnecessary laws, the National Coalition developed and presented its policy statement based on the preceding paragraphs to Members of Parliament, Members of Provincial Legislative Assemblies, and to the public. On November 30, 1994, the Federal Minister of Justice, Allan Rock, announced the government's proposals for changes to the federal firearms control regime. The proposals entail changes to virtually all aspects of Canada's firearms control system, including those aspects amended as recently as 1991, and implemented as late as 1993. Those aspects of the proposals which target law-abiding firearms owners are a breach of a Liberal Party election promise that expressly stated: "We will ensure the criminal use of firearms is penalized but legitimate users are not." ------------------------------ End of Cdn-Firearms Digest V12 #147 *********************************** Submissions: mailto:cdn-firearms-digest@scorpion.bogend.ca Mailing List Commands: mailto:majordomo@scorpion.bogend.ca Moderator's e-mail address: mailto:drg.jordan@sasktel.net List owner: mailto:owner-cdn-firearms@scorpion.bogend.ca FAQ list: http://www.canfirearms/Skeeter/Faq/cfd-faq1.html Web Site: http://www.canfirearms.ca CFDigest Archives: http://www.canfirearms.ca/archives To unsubscribe from _all_ the lists, put the next four lines in a message and mailto:majordomo@scorpion.bogend.ca unsubscribe cdn-firearms-digest unsubscribe cdn-firearms-chat unsubscribe cdn-firearms end (To subscribe, use "subscribe" instead of "unsubscribe".)
