CANADA’S GUN REGISTRY USED AS ‘USEFUL’ EXAMPLE BY NEW ZEALAND POLICE
EXCERPT: This week Police Association president Chris Cahill claimed Canadian “police officers” check registers (a gun registry remains for restricted weapons) about 11,000 times a day. “That gives you an idea of how useful it can be,” he reportedly said. In reality, police computer systems trigger automatic registry searches thousands of times daily, usually in relation to routine policing like traffic stops. In 2006, Canada’s then auditor general Sheila Fraser called such hits “an activity indicator [rather] than an indicator of effectiveness.” Column by Kate MacNamara www.stuff.co.nz July 25, 2019 READ THE REST: https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/opinion-analysis/114472787/plan-to-tighter-gun-laws-to-cost-up-to-53m-over-10-years–stuart-nash-says

DECEW GUN CLUB: 4TH “SHOOT FOR ABBI” CHARITY FUNDRAISER
ABBI MONAGHAN is a 13 year old girl from St. Catharines, living with Cystinosis, a incurable disease that slowly destroys the organs in the body. Because Cystinosis is such a rare disease affecting such a small population, and Abbi is the only known case in the Niagara Region, research money is scarce to nonexistent. All money for research comes directly from donations and fundraisers. Read more in the attached poster. RAFFLE PRIZE This year as a grand prize we will be raffling off a $1400 Traeger Smoker BBQ so even people who are not interested in shooting will want to buy a ticket. If you are willing to help sell tickets on this great prize please contact Director John Rakich at: jpr@startmail.com

ANGUS REID SURVEY EXAGGERATES SUPPORT FOR GUN BANS
THE KEY WEAKNESSES OF THIS SURVEY:
- Question wording is slanted to support government proposals,
- Definitions of “assault rifle” and “high-capacity magazine” are incorrect and misleading,
- Support for gun bans decreases with knowledge of current gun laws,
- Sample selection is not representative [it is a panel of volunteers, not a random sample], and
- Report inadequately points out the limitations of their findings.
