Voluntary program opposed by gun control groupsAn elected Liberal official said the proposed program is "not perfect, but that doesn't mean it won't work." But groups calling for stronger gun control measures are dismissing the legislation as inadequate. The Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, a group that represents gun owners, said it would oppose any measures that lead to the "confiscation of legal guns from RCMP-vetted gun owners." The group is engaged in a court challenge of the Liberal gun legislation. "Canadian gun owners have owned these firearms safely and without issue for decades," said coalition spokesperson Tracey Wilson.
