Federal Liberal withdraws resolution #42

Great news! The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (O.F.A.H.), and members of the firearms and outdoors community across Canada received confirmation today that the ill-fated, inflammatory and highly inaccurate Resolution #42 (passed at the recent federal Liberal Convention in Montreal) has been withdrawn. "Based on recent correspondence we received from federal Liberal M.P.'s Paul Steckle and the Hon. Andy Scott, neither of whom supported the resolution, it would appear that the Liberal Party of Canada has done the right thing and withdrawn the policy," said Greg Farrant, O.F.A.H. Government Relations Manager. "Not only was the resolution completely unnecessary in the first place, worse still, it was based upon highly inaccurate information that contradicted their own firearms legislation passed when they were in power. At the very least, by withdrawing the resolution, the party has acknowledged its mistake and taken steps to correct this procedural gaff. However, this does not speak to the underlying reason for the resolution and the ongoing attempt by the national Liberal Party to demonize legal law-abiding firearms owners in Canada instead of supporting the current government's efforts to target criminals who use illegal firearms to commit crimes." Question-- Is this a ploy by the Liberal party to trick legal firearms owners into believing that they are firearms friendly, or could they be preparing for an election? Maybe it was just pressures from the many organizations that made them change.
