A proposed change that would allow Canadian municipalities to ban all handguns poses a problem for the Aldergrove-based , according to Den Robinson, the club public relations director.

Robinson, a champion quick draw competitor who is also the fast draw director at the , said if Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart and Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum make good their promise to impose handgun bans under the new law, it will affect many club members who live in those communities.

That鈥檚 despite the fact the guns used in fast draw competition are old-fashioned revolvers that shoot wax bullets and are stored according to strict regulations, Robinson told the 91原创 Advance Times.

鈥淲e鈥檝e got the gun in one room, in a safe, the key (to the safe) in another room, and the ammo in another,鈥� Robinson told the 91原创 Advance Times.

鈥淭he six-gun stuff that we do is not the kind that is used in crimes,鈥� remarked Robinson.

Robinson thinks the bans will probably see some people leave the sport.

He doubts the new measures will have much impact on gun violence, because it appears most of those semi-automatic pistols are being smuggled in by criminals.

鈥淭hose guns are going to keep coming in,鈥� Robinson predicted.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not going to change things crime-wise.鈥�

He added 鈥渆ven Japan allows for 鈥榮pecialized鈥� handguns being used for the fast draw sport there.鈥�

Robinson said one of the federal government鈥檚 鈥渉idden agendas鈥� is to 鈥渨eaken gun clubs and pro-gun organizations and make it easier for this particular government to divide and conquer.鈥�

Tabled on Tuesday, Feb. 16, the federal gun legislation would allow municipalities to ban handguns through bylaws restricting their possession, storage and transportation.

It would also introduce new 鈥渞ed flag鈥� and 鈥測ellow flag鈥� laws that would allow people, such as concerned friends or relatives, to apply to the courts for the immediate removal of a person鈥檚 firearms, or to ask a chief firearms officer to suspend and review an individual鈥檚 licence to own guns.

Penalties for gun smuggling and trafficking will be harsher, and the RCMP and the Canada Border Services Agency are promised more resources to combat illegal importation of firearms.

New offences for altering the cartridge magazine component of a gun and depicting violence in firearms advertising will be created and there will be tighter restrictions on imports of ammunition, and a ban on the import, export, sale or transfer of replica firearms.
