Dear Editor:
RE: Neighbours: noise of Galt Sportsmen’s Club now ‘unbearable’ as club has swelled in size, operations, May 9.
Rather than petition their local council to ban something, residents of Gore Road and neighbours of the Galt Sportsman’s Club should petition the federal government to allow use of suppressors, commonly known as silencers.
For some unknown reason, this safety device is prohibited in Canada under the Criminal Code (“a device or contrivance designed or intended to muffle or stop the sound or report of a firearm”).
