News / Politics / Activism Anyone writing to their Premiere?
The CCFR suggested people write to their Premiere to speak out against the gun grab and to encourage them to do what Manitoba has done.
CCFR has templates for email or snail mail letter. I thought a snail mail letter may be taken more seriously by the Premiere’s office since letters take more effort than an email.
But the template letter they posted follows the typical written letter format. ie your name and address listed at the top of the page.
As soon as I saw that, it made me not want to write a letter for fear that anyone who speaks against the gun grab and puts their name and address to it, can be used to create an unofficial registry.
Does anyone else have similar concerns? I feel slightly paranoid about this but then again, how can one not be paranoid when you look at the way the govt has treated its citizens.
I’m considering sending a letter but not including my address and possibly using a pseudonym. There’s a chance they won’t take it seriously without name and address but that’s beyond my control. All I can do is write a letter or not.
Interested in others’ opinions.

I have emailed my Premier several times, no response yet. I'm not worried about being put on a list.
If it comes down to it I will deactivate anything prohibited that I might have on the very last day of the amnesty and hang it on my wall.
I'm not interested in pumping up their confiscation numbers. I bought it I'm keeping it. If the only legal way for me to keep it is to weld it shut then so be it. I see no reason to give them any sort of respectable number of confiscated firearms. Hopefully one day there will be an inquiry into how much money was wasted on this program and how ineffective it was.
Chop it up and throw it in the trash if you have to.
