Why is the Airsoft Initiative not in contact with the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency?
The CCRA, RCMP and various law enforcement agencies take their policy direction on airsoft guns from the CFC, led by Mr. William Baker, the Commissioner of Firearms, and the Department of the Solicitor General, led by the Honourable Wayne Easter. The Airsoft Initiative formed its recommendations with the intention of addressing the status of airsoft guns on a national level. As such, recommendations from the Canadian Airsoft Community addressed the highest levels of authority with proposed legislative amendments and policy mechanisms designed to accomplish our goals. The goals and recommendations contained in the options paper, Airsoft in Canada: Partnership Through Accountability address legislative amendments and policy mechanisms that would need to be affected by the Department of Justice and Department of the Solicitor General, which in turn gives policy directions to other agencies of the Federal Government, including the CCRA, the CFC and the RCMP.
