What does a Scheer win mean for gun owners?

Tories from across Canada descended on the Toronto Congress
Centre this weekend to watch a new leader for the Conservative
party be born. The CCFR sent both Ontario Director Jamie
Elliott and Public Relations VP, Tracey Wilson to take in the
action and get live updates to the membership. The race was
dominated by Bernier throughout, with Scheer inching closer
with each ballot round count. In the end, at the 13th ballot
Scheer took the lead and the head seat after O’Toole’s ballots
were divided appropriately.


Scheer spoke to the packed Congress Centre after his victory
and his smile said it all. A re-cap of the entire event will be
forthcoming, but here is everything you need to know about
Scheer’s stance on the firearms file.

The CCFR did live, in person interviews with the candidates,
sent questionnaires to gauge them and studied each of their
firearms policies, if they had one. Scheer scored well with an
“A” and subsequently got together with CCFR President Rod
Giltaca for a personal, recorded interview. You can watch it
below.

Here is the House of Commons interview re-cap from
Tracey Wilson:

Andrew Scheer, MP

I enjoyed my sit down with Andrew very much. He’s a gun owner
and a new hunter with a very likeable, “guy next door”
kind of appeal. He regaled me with his tales of hunting and I
could see he genuinely enjoyed it … very “Canadian”. Andrew
takes a very strong position on the firearms file and has the
support of MP Garry Breitkreuz, who famously exposed the waste
in the long-gun registry and who worked tirelessly to scrap it.
He’s got some big, bold ideas about reforming the entire system
and takes a “common sense” approach on this matter. Andrew
promises to launch a review of the criminal code and repeal all
federal regulations pertaining to firearms ownership, usage and
transportation which do not do the following: ensure that
Canada’s firearms laws respect the rights of honest firearms
owners, recognize the fact that hunting and sports shooting are
an important part of Canadian culture and history, and empower
police to concentrate on real criminals who are a threat to the
public.

Andrew’s firearm policy is found here : Scheer on guns

Scheer achieved an “A” on the report cards



Scheer’s views on the firearms file are solid. His relationship
with the CCFR is excellent, and we will continue to offer
ourselves as a resource to the new party leader.

Congratulations Andrew!!
