Letter to Ralph Goodale
« on: October 12, 2016, 06:43:31 AM »
Sent a letter to Ralphie, I would urge all of you guys to send a similar letter regarding extended magazines for Ruger 10-22. His email

ralph.goodale@parl.gc.ca

Dear Ralph Goodale,

I am disappointed that the RCMP bureaucracy is being allowed to criminalize law abiding citizens by prohibiting magazines owned and used responsibly by gun owners. I am referring to extended magazines for the Ruger10-22. First and foremost is the issue that those enforcing the law should have no authority to create the law, this is un-constitutional. Secondly, and more importantly, law abiding citizens can become criminals overnight based on poor bureaucratic decision making. I would urge the Liberal Government to engage in more dialogue with legal gun owners in Canada to allow them to partake in important decision making regarding gun laws and for the Liberal Government to immediately remove the RCMPs authority to create any type of law. I would also request an indefinite amnesty for people already owning and possessing these magazines. Thank you sir.

Good one Paul.

I'm not much of a writer but I will try something.

Ever notice how left wing politicians are always coming up with new ways to disarm law abiding taxpayers but never, never mention how they plan to disarm criminals???

Letter I got back from Goodale, typical form letter that I am certain everyone is getting, bunch of nonsense and rhetoric, especially the part about what the magazine was initially designed for, which wasn't a handgun, therefore at the time of purchase these magazines were intended to be used with a 10-22 rifle, as such they should not be prohibited. The handgun was released long after the magazines were released. None of my concerns were addressed. My reply to Goodale:

Dear Mr. Goodale.

Your rhetorical form letter reply did not address my questions or concerns. I understand the regulations, the magazine was not designed for a handgun, the magazine was designed for a non restricted rifle, the handgun was designed long after the magazine was designed, therefore it was never designed for intended use in the handgun. The magazine should only be restricted to individuals who own the handgun, that should be fairly simple to administer as the handgun is a restricted weapon, and the CFC should have record of who owns the handgun. Keep in mind I am not debating, nor do I have interest in debating, it’s open to interpretation.

Your reply, which is attached to this email, inappropriately addresses my concerns. To reiterate my questions and concerns to be addressed accordingly:

“First and foremost is the issue that those enforcing the law should have no authority to create the law, this is un-constitutional.” Would you please acknowledge that the RCMP enacting firearms legislation changes is unconstitutional and that you will take action to prevent the RCMP from making modifications to firearms legislation without approval?

“I would also request an indefinite amnesty for people already owning and possessing these magazines.” Would you please reply to my request for an amnesty?

Would you kindly address my concerns appropriately? Thank you.

Good on you Paul.  I forget the formula but a handwritten(typed) mailed letter is assumed to represent X number of voters opinions.  Emails not so much(likely moreso now as email's so common) and unless a petition is hand signed and presented it's worthless.

At least the letter from goodale is all in the same font.  I've received replies where my last name is a different font than the rest of the letter, as in Dear Mr. _____________;  pretty insulting.

Keep fighting the good fight.
