The OFAH is Selling Out Hunters...Again

One has to wonder if the OFAH was bought off when you read quotes from the organization's executive. Spokesman Greg Farrant said that the organization sees no problems with government bill S-5, presently in the Senate.

"There is some fine-tuning that needs to happen with the bill, but it is a good first  step..."

source:

 
A good first step, eh Greg? Where have you been? Peterborough is confused, and we want some of what the OFAH executive is smoking. The bad laws we have today started over thirty years ago! The first step was in the 1970s, when FACs - Firearms Acquisition Certificates (now PALs - Possession and Acquisition Licenses) came into effect. We've been fighting back against this bad legislation ever since. I'll repeat this for your  benefit Greg, we've been fighting back for 30 years!

Why does the OFAH keep throwing hunters to the dogs?

Some of you were not around when this gun mess began. First came licensing the individual.  Then came registering the firearms. In the years since, and this is based on the government's own studies, the registry hasn't stopped any murders or other calamities. All it has ever done is frustrate lawful gun owners and bloat Canada's debt.  Billions of dollars have been sunk into this scheme. Nothing tangible has ever come of it, except getting some politicians elected to Ottawa.

Since Parliament created this mess in the 1970s, the OFAH has never stood with others to  fight any of the legislation. They never made any effort to help reverse these bad laws.  It's no wonder. The fact is, the OFAH supported licensing in the 1990s. I doubt that their  position has changed. Send them a letter and ask what their exact stance is on licensing. Be prepared for a confusing answer back.

Has the OFAH ever supported throwing out any bad gun law? I don't think so. Take a look at  this. Here is an example of what happened in 1999, during the Ontario provincial election.  Pay particular attention to the underlined portion below:

Excerpt from "CILA Involvement in Ontario Election"
(items in brackets are mine - Steve)
.
...it was stated that the OFAH had pledged $5,000 to support the FED UP II Rally held on September 22nd, 1998 (30,000 attended - FED UP II Rally Bulletin #44, January 16,  1999) and not one dollar of that pledge had yet arrived...
---

No tangible support for the spring bear hunt. No support for the FED Up II Rally.  Does that surprise you? At the time, it surprised me.  Since then however, I've discovered that the OFAH talks the talk, but does NOT walk the walk. They have been playing the media smoke and mirrors game for years.

Since the 1970s, the OFAH has never stood with any of the groups trying to correct what's happened. The NFA, CSSA and others have been on the front lines, going to Ottawa, raising  money, organizing protests and holding meetings and rallies across the country. Where was the OFAH during all this? No one knows exactly, but they weren't at these events. They were probably fishing...

The sad thing about this is, after the battle is won (without their help I might add),  the OFAH will probably issue a press release saying that they fought the hard fight and were victorious. They will claim much of the credit for fixing things...and some people will believe it.

To repeat:  Since the 1970s, the OFAH has never stood with any organization or individual to change Canada's gun laws. They ignored all efforts to reverse any legislation. Even today, they still fail to see that if shotguns or rifles are banned, the OFAH will become a glorified fishing organization. All things considered, perhaps that is what they want. 

It sure makes you wonder.

It's time for your club to stop supporting the OFAH. They really are not doing anything to protect your right to hunt.  It's time to support an organization like the Canadian Shooting Sports Association, Ducks Unlimited or other group that actually believes in your right to own and hunt with firearms.

Tell your local club executive that it's time for a change!

I frequently get asked if there is a really good Lee Enfield forum.  Yes, there is - Parallax Bills. It's one of the longest running boards, visited by people that actually shoot and collect these rifles.  If you want to talk to others that share your love of Lee Enfields, learn some history and useful information or just want to hang out with others that share your interests, try Parallax Bill's Lee Enfield board.
