Line 1: |
| As requested, I have composed a policy position on firearms for your review that I believe is in keeping with the core Libertarian Party principles of individual liberty, personal responsibility and limited government. Please feel free to ask questions or comment on this proposed policy.

| |
|
| The Libertarian Party of Ontario believes that the peaceful possession of firearms should not be a crime, and that the ownership of such firearms is part of every person’s right to own and enjoy private property.
| |
|
| |
| The Libertarian Party of Ontario further believes that the ownership and use of firearms is the right of a citizen which should only be limited by threats or acts of violence.
| |
|
| |
| The Libertarian Party of Ontario further believes in the inherent and inalienable right of all people to self-defence including the use of firearms for this purpose.
| |
|
| |
| The Libertarian Party of Ontario further believes that education is the best means of ensuring responsible behaviour with firearms rather than legislation and regulation.
| |
|
| |
| The Libertarian Party of Canada would repeal the former gun control Bills C-51, C-17 and C-68 and resulting regulations with the aim of trusting the people to behave in a generally responsible manner, while at the same time severely punishing those who would commit violence by misusing firearms.
