Commons Committee Censures Firearms Group Over ‘Dangerous’ Comments
Firearms Group Maintains Nothing Said Advocated Violence Against Anyone
A parliamentary committee has censured a firearms group over “dangerous” comments made by its president, an accusation he rejects, about the federal government’s recent gun control legislation.
The Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security voted on Feb. 22 to condemn comments made by Sheldon Clare, president of the National Firearms Association (NFA), on Bill C-21, the new firearm legislation tabled by the Liberal government on Feb. 16, during a video podcast hosted by the NFA last week.
The motion, initiated by Liberal MP Pam Damoff, was endorsed by all parties except the Conservatives, whose committee members abstained from voting.
LANSING, MI (AP) Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer included funds to implement a complete firearms ban in the state Capitol in her state budget proposal, one month after open carry was banned.
The budget proposal and a concealed carry ban would have to be passed by the Republican-led Legislature whose leaders have expressed opposition to such a ban.
Whitmer’s proposed $67 billion state budget proposes a $5 million allocation for improving Capitol security. The plan would finance security staffing and equipment like metal detectors needed to implement a weapons ban. The plan would include a ban on concealed pistols.

one of the things that the d.c. circuit held there was no impediment putting somebody on the banned list because they committed a misdemeanor. that s not too low a threshold. now people who committed misdemeanors potentially lose their right to carry a firearm. yes, under the ruling on the firearms ban. what this says, look, you can t say that an entire class of people, this class being anybody who commit add misdemeanor, two years sentence, which seems harsh, and what you can do, the interesting part of this ruling, megyn, 21-page ruling and when you get to page 20 the judge finally says, he they should have applied for
