Hi John,
You can join the fight to stop Ottawa’s gun grab.
In our last survey, more than 90 per cent of taxfighters like you said Ottawa should scrap its gun confiscation.
And it’s clear why: It won’t make Canadians safer, but it will cost taxpayers a huge amount of money.
The union representing RCMP members says Ottawa’s scheme “diverts extremely important personnel, resources, and funding away from addressing the more immediate and growing threat of criminal use of illegal firearms.”
And independent experts say the total cost to taxpayers could be more than $6 billion.
The results from the Cape Breton pilot project show that taxpayers like you and other experts were right when they said it was going to be a failure from the start.
The government aimed to confiscate 200 firearms during the pilot project. It only collected 25. That’s despite the local municipality being given $150,000 by the feds to carry out the confiscation.
But bad news for the government is good news for taxpayers.
Now that the results are out there and everyday people know that this program is a failure, there has never been a more important time to fight back.
Signing the petition to scrap the gun ban is your first step in joining that fight.
By signing the petition, you’ll be the first to know when it’s time to take action against Ottawa’s wasteful and useless gun ban.
Will you sign the petition calling on the federal government to scrap the gun ban?
We, the undersigned, call on the prime minister to scrap his gun ban and buy back.

As a firearms owner, the failure of the pilot project reenergized me for the fight ahead. Taxpayers can win this fight and get the program scrapped. We just need to work together.
