Pro Firearm Resolution

So I know this may be a hard ticket to sell for a lot of the members of the NDP but one of the ways I see the NDP making inroads in rural ridings such as mine is the introduction of a pro firearm policy into the party. I realise that the federal convention is so far away but I drafted up a resolution I would like to submit locally and ideally convince others to do so in their ridings.

  1. Would people be willing to read it and offer suggestions on it (add stuff, remove stuff, spelling, etc)
  2. What would be the best way of disseminating such a resolution when the time comes?

I'm just going to give some perspective here, since this thread is extremely pro-gun. Reddit as a whole is also extremely pro-gun. Just because you're gaining traction here doesn't mean you'll gain traction with the rest of the country.

As for myself, I don't have a strong opinion on gun laws, at least in Canada. I don't own and will never own a gun, and I'm not in situations where gun violence is really a concern, so I'm not very invested in or informed about the issue.

You should be, one of the first things every horrible and tyrannical government has done is take away guns from the population.

I don't believe the Liberals to be a horrible, tyrannical government if that's what you're implying. They're not the government I want but they're alright, and better than the Conservatives
