I'm sure there are plenty of lawyers that are gun owners who may be interested in playing a role, not gratis of course. We have done absolutely nothing, NOTHING, in response to the RCMP's handling of the CFC's rule changes as they see fit. Tying up .22 semi magazine prohibitions in the courts would have at least shown some backbone on our part. But we're Canadians, a peaceful people, who will take whatever you ram down our throats. The firearms business in this country is big business, maybe we need a $$ levy on every item sold to go to a firearms coalition? I'd be in for that.

When the 25 rnd 22 mags became prohibited I donated a small sum towards fighting the decision. I know that a lot more people were donating as well. I have yet to see a single shred of effort put into doing something about that prohibition.
We have 2 viable groups that can advocate for firearms rights. It is clear there is some friction between the two. They need to get over their petty differences and join forces to accomplish something.
