NFA President Sheldon Clare announced that Canada’s National Firearms\u00a0Association has filed in Federal Court in Ottawa to force the destruction of the\u00a0Quebec portion of the long-gun registry data.\u00a0Speaking from Prince George, BC, Clare stated that “Enough is enough – the\u00a0courts have said that this data shall be destroyed and it hasn’t yet happened.\u00a0Canada’s NFA has a responsibility to make sure that there is accountability for\u00a0getting rid of this data”.<\/p>\n

In its court action, the NFA has allied itself with Shawn Bevins, NFA Executive VP, and\u00a0boutique l’Archerot Plus, a well known firearms retailer located in Gatineau, Quebec.\u00a0In addition to the ultimate destruction of the data, other legal and equitable relief is\u00a0sought, including interim orders, to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Allow individual Quebec long gun owners to require the destruction of their\u00a0records;<\/li>\n
  2. Stop the gathering of additional long gun registry records;<\/li>\n
  3. Remove illegal registration restrictions imposed by the Quebec CFO to Quebec\u00a0gun dealers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Executive VP Shawn Bevins speaking in Drummondville added, “The Quebec\u00a0government thinks that it can break laws without consequence in its fanatical\u00a0pursuit of private information. Their actions clearly violate the civil rights of the\u00a0law-abiding public. There are approximately half a million licensed firearms\u00a0owners in Quebec who are expecting to be treated the same as the rest of
    \nCanada and our efforts are intended to protect the rights and freedoms of\u00a0Quebec’s law-abiding firearms owners”.<\/p>\n

    Canada’s National Firearms Association is this country’s largest advocacy\u00a0organization promoting the rights and freedoms of all responsible firearm\u00a0owners and users.<\/p>\n
