I want my friends to
know that as a hunter and trapper, I really don't need a semi-automatic
firearm. Wun Feather in 1967 at the Good
Hope Lake Reserve near Cassiar
If you look through my photos, you will see that I like the old fashioned
"bush guns", like the lever action.
In fact, because I walk in some very dangerous forests with lots of trees
laying down, I usually leave my rifle empty until I need to shoot it. Then I
open the chamber, and slide one round in, aim very carefully, and squeeze the
trigger gently.
That is the only form of gun control that I need.
Just because I use my old Winchester 30-30 for
hunting, I have absolutely no right to dictate to any other firearm owner what
they should use their guns for.
Some people want to take their husband's or wives
and children to the gun range, and shoot at targets all weekend.
Some want to shoot their shotgun pellets at clay
targets that are flying through the air.
Other people compete in IPSIC or whatever those
marksman competitions are called.
I don't know about those, but I can tell you that this
recent firearm grab that Justin Trudeau has forced on Canadians, is way more
than a firearms issue. It is a dictatorship issue.
If Trudeau can just take away legally purchased
firearms from legitimate gun owners, what is next on his agenda?
Have we reached a point in society where ONE man
has the right to pass a law that affects 32 million citizens without any
parliamentary procedures?
If so, when did our country become a dictatorship,
and are we no longer living in a democratic society?
Just asking ...
About Wun Feather ... I am one of the last of my generation to have actually attended residential and Indian day schools. I have lived on and off reserve, and have seen the benefits and the hardships of my people in both situations. My parents taught me that any time I fell down physically, or emotionally, I just needed to pick myself up, shake myself off, and continue in a forward direction. So, I cannot claim that I did it on my own; I had great Elders.
