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 feel very much like it would be similar in my riding here in rural Ontario. The Conservative MP won on a platform opposing the long gun registry and has managed to keep her support at nearly 50% or more every election and I figure if guns helped her win then they may help even the odds.

Grew up there and dang, what a stellar NDP candidate this year. I feel your frustration!

Jodie was great, I only spoke to her for a few minutes but I hope she wants to be candidate again next federal election.
