DP WEIGHING GUN BILL

DEMOCRATIC Party Chief Whip Douglas Gibson said on Friday that statements to the effect that the DP will support the draft Firearms Control Bill in its present form are unmandated and factually incorrect. It was reported earlier this week that the party had decided to support the legislation. Gibson said in a statement that the DP caucus has made no decision on the bill, and will only do so after carefully weighing the pros and cons of the legislation.
