Alberta plans to invoke its "Sovereign Alberta" legislation as part of "fighting back" against federal firearms legislation that bans firearms that are commonly seen as "military-style". As the first application of the "Sovereign Alberta in a United Canada" legislation, you can expect to hear a lot about this subject in the coming months.

This post is going to be about the "Sovereign Alberta" legislation and what it purports to do.
