Sask. Policing Minister proposes ballistics facility, firearms legislation

Saskatchewan Minister of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety Christine Tell spoke on Thursday about a proposed ballistics testing facility to be established in Saskatchewan. Tell said that the facility would analyze any firearm that was confiscated and would cross-reference the findings with a national database. She added that the Saskatchewan Party has proposed legislation to prohibit agents operating on behalf of the federal government to seize “lawful” firearms owners without a proper provincial authority issued by Saskatchewan’s Chief Firearms Officer.
