FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today's ruling acknowledges the right to firearms ownership, but then defers to parliament's history of infringing on our fundamental right to possess effective tools for the defense of human life. While we disagree with the ruling on the whole, this constitutional right will be the focus of the next stage of the Firearms Act challenge.

In the process of appealing to the supreme court of Canada, this decision is a relatively small setback. In fact it gives the Montagues a strong basis to refocus and represent arguments for consideration by the higher court.

Besides our appeal to Canada's constitutional heritage, we will emphasize the common-law basis for self-defense, and highlight the glaring ineffectiveness and pitfalls of the Firearms Act. As intended from the beginning, our next goal is to have portions of the Act struck down by the Ontario Court of Appeal.

The biggest loss in today's ruling is that Bruce and Donna will now be going into the criminal trial on Nov 13, 2007 with the crown seeking the full penalties of the current harsh, complex, and unreasonable sections of the criminal code which are enabled by the Firearms Act.

It's already happening here, the misapplication of forfeiture laws, etc. What was designed to be a tool against organized crime is being applied to "Johns" picking up hookers, DUI cases... any and every criminal charge where money and property can be taken. It is an outrage.
