Bruce Montague is an ordinary Canadian who has been charged under the Firearms Act. On September 11, 2004 Bruce was arrested and jailed for 11 days for violation of the licensing and registration terms of the Firearms Act. Police officers then conducted a 36 hour search of the Montague home, seizing and confiscating his firearms, ammunition, computer and many other non-related things like binoculars, scopes and books.

What started this? Bruce is a model citizen with no criminal record, and has an excellent community and business reputation. But as a hunter and gunsmith from northern Ontario, Bruce Montague has boldly and actively opposed the Liberal’s illegitimate gun law by nonviolent public protest and peaceful non-compliance.

Why would someone intentionally challenge the law? Bruce is a man of character, integrity and conviction. Rather than comply with an unjust law, he has chosen to challenge it in court at enormous personal cost.

Why should you join Bruce Montague’s fight to strike down the Firearms Act? Because his fight is your fight, if he loses we all lose. If we do not DEFEND our Rights and Freedoms NOW we will lose them forever:

1. An estimated 90% of firearms owners in Canada are in violation of the Firearms Act regulations due to ignorance, negligence, or civil disobedience.
2. If the police did a raid on your house today, you would likely be charged with one or more criminal offenses under the Firearms Act.
3. An anonymous "firearms threat" tip from a personal opponent can lead to an unannounced police raid on your home.
4. The goal of the Firearms Act is to gradually eliminate private ownership of guns. We either fight the gun law now, or one-by-one firearm owners will be hunted down by its complexity and harsh penalties.
5. Because of the multitude of firearms charges, Bruce's defense team will be able to challenge the constitutionality of all the major areas of the firearms act, potentially gutting it.
6. Bruce is backed by legal experts who are prepared to make the FIRST SERIOUS CHARTER CHALLENGE of the Firearms Act to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Bruce is putting his neck on the line to defend our freedoms. It’s our turn to put our money on the line to help Bruce now. To fight this to the Supreme Court, Bruce is anticipating 3-5 years of personal stress and an expected legal bill of over $200,000.

We need to do our part to raise funds in our clubs, groups, associations and businesses. We all have a stake in this. Solicit generous donations for $100, $500, $1000, or more. Please send your cheques payable to the:
