Default Calgary Sun article on Firearms petition

There is an article on a teen that started a petition demanding that the firearms act should be scrapped. So far it is the largest petition that will ever be sent to the government thus far. It is open until Thursday however, it doesn't show how to get to that petition. Can anyone direct me to it?

Thanks

I know a much better way but if I post it, it will read “banned” under my name.

Considering there are 2,000,000 plus gun owners in this country, this should have been the largest petition, but it isn't. There is one about electoral reforms that was 130,000.
And there will be a big kerfuffle going on when a whole bunch of people find out they will have to give up their guns to the gov't, because of C71. The gov't didn't get the mechanism set up to register the guns they said they would grandfather under C71. People tried to comply, but were refused the opportunity to do it, as the mechanism was not put in place to do it, so says the RCMP. Goodale has been made aware of the issue, but, it is possible he will do nothing about it, as it suits the cause that seems to be prevalent in the scheme of things.

I signed the petition, but it will be ignored, especially after this incident. I wonder how long it will take before they release the identity of the shooter, and what the official statement be be as to his motive for the shooting?
