So, if you want weaker gun control in 🇨🇦Canada, vote for @erinotoole.
Here he is pandering to the dreadful Canadian Coalition for “Firearm Rights” while seeking the @CPC_HQ leadership last year, promising to do away with existing legislation …

and replace it with something drafted by gun owners, gun manufacturers, police and 'members of the public' (appointed by his party, no doubt).
He promises to 'educate' Canadians who have no contact
with what he calls 'gun culture'...

...(an NRA term?).
He claims suburban voters are 'prone to Liberal lies and deception'.
He characterizes himself as a 'proud Blue Conservative' who's not in the 'mushy middle'.

And guess what?
The CCFR gives him an “A” report card.

Recall, the CCFR is the gun lobby that endorses permits for 'concealed carry' of firearms to be widely available across Canada, claiming in its Policy 15-10 that concealed carry is 'a significant benefit to society' and ‘suitable to a populated area’.

And here’s @erinotoole cozying up to 🇨🇦Canada’s other dreadful gun lobby, the ‘National Firearms Association’.

He describes himself as an 'ardent supporter of firearms rights' who got an 'A' grade from the NFA in his first leadership campaign.
He proclaims 'firearms rights' to be a 'fundamental element of the Conservative Party.
He describes 'gun culture as being as Canadian 'as

the backyard hockey rink'.🙄
Remember, the NFA is the lobby group that opposed a handgun ban for Toronto, saying "Firearms owners are already over regulated in Canada, and more gun control is neither acceptable nor effective.”
