Ashcroft's actions provide clear direction for every law enforcement officer in this great nation. It was not long before Attorney General Ashcroft's proposed regulations reducing the retention period for approved National Instant Check firearms purchases to 24 hours. And after all the hullabaloo over the UN disarmament conference, the US opposed the recent UN Gun Ban. There is a clear message here, that the current administration recognizes the right of honest citizens to keep and bear arms. And after years of ACLU dominance in defining the legal interpretation of The Second Amendment, scores of legal scholars have lined up behind the pro-freedom definition.

Actions speak louder than words, and these are actions that deserve the respect of law enforcement. The communication provided by the Internet has not been lost on American Law Enforcement. In fact, he has been a well-respected constable with the Calgary police since 1980. But on Canada Day, the avid gun collector and sports shooter, who owns a number of 12-gauge shotguns and a few old German Luger handguns his father brought back from the Second World War, became one of thousands of Canadians in violation of gun control laws. He has never applied for a firearm licence under the Liberals' Bill C-68.
