Canadian Unlicensed Firearms Owners Association
Association canadienne des propriétaires d’armes sans permis

• A replacement of the function of the Canadian Firearms Center, by
• A federal registry of persons prohibited by court order from possessing firearms.

• A safer more secure society by reducing criminal access to firearms.

• Focuses the attention squarely on the problem: criminals.
• Means the courts, not a federal employee, would determine who is prohibited from owning and acquiring firearms.
• Allows the police to have ready access to all information on all persons prohibited from possessing firearms.
• Requires that an individual wishing to purchase firearms must not be listed in the FPR.
• Assures vendors that purchasers of firearms would be legitimate by providing an 800 number to insure the recipient of the firearm is not listed in the FPR.
• Respects the Rights and Freedoms of responsible citizens to acquire and possess firearms.
• Ensures judicial review so that no person is erroneously included in the FPR.
• Maintains effective measures to ensure swift correction of faulty data.
• Provides a public service for which no fees would be attached.

• The courts, by convictions, restraining orders, and bail conditions would decide who is prohibited from possessing firearms.
• The government should only keep track of irresponsible persons, leaving responsible citizens alone.
• The amount of data which would be provided by the courts would b e more manageable.
• The police have the communication equipment in their offices and patrol cars to access this type of system.
