If you have ever needed to make contact with a firearms control bureaucrat, you have probably found it quite difficult. Here are the addresses and phone numbers that you need. Keep them for future reference! If you have not needed them yet, you probably will before too long…
Tip
1:
Never make whatever the problem is
your problem. Make it
their
problem... "Dear Sir, I applied to register my six firearms in December,
2002. You are required, by law, to send me either a registration certificate
for each firearm or a refusal to register one or more of those firearms. You
have done neither, and that is a violation of Criminal Code section 126. If
found guilty of that offence, you can be imprisoned for up to two years, so
please send me either the registration certificates you owe me or refusals to
register. Be advised that if you send me notices of refusal, I intend to take
this matter before a provincial court judge as I am allowed to do by Firearms
Ac sections 69, 72, 74 and 75."
Tip
2: Letters to firearms control bureaucrats are more effective if this is added
to the letter:

do not like having bosses and gadflies looking over their shoulder while they
work on their own screwups.
