Lift the Handgun Freeze for Licensed Canadian Firearms Owners
petition urging policy reconsideration and respectful dialogue.
Petition to the Government of Canada
Licensed firearms owners in Canada are subject to rigorous background checks, ongoing oversight, and comprehensive regulations, ensuring that their activities are closely monitored and compliant with national standards. The current federal freeze on handgun transfers and acquisitions, while intended to enhance public safety, disproportionately impacts individuals who have demonstrated a consistent commitment to responsible and lawful ownership.
Evidence shows that licensed firearms owners are among the most regulated citizens and that existing measures already provide significant safeguards. Policies affecting this group should be fair, proportionate, and based on objective data rather than broad restrictions that may not effectively address the root causes of firearm-related crime.
We respectfully request that the Government of Canada review and amend the handgun freeze as it applies to licensed firearms owners, in order to ensure that public safety objectives are balanced with the rights and responsibilities of law-abiding citizens.
By signing this petition, you support evidence-based policy and responsible ownership, and encourage a fair and balanced approach to firearms regulation in Canada.
