The Harper government has introduced a major overhaul to Canada's gun laws.
During a press conference at a shooting range in northern Ontario, on
Wednesday, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney announced his
government's intention to introduce the Common Sense Firearms Licensing
Act.The Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act would:
- Merge the Possession Only License (POL) and the Possession and Acquisition License (PAL);
- Restrict the ability of provincial Chief Firearms Officers to make arbitrary decisions;
- End paperwork around Authorizations to Transport by making them a condition of a license;
- Require mandatory firearms safety courses for first-time gun owners; and
- Strengthen firearms prohibitions for those who are convicted of domestic violence offences.
