I'd like to reiterate a couple of things.
First off, Bill C-68 is not gun control. That's where we have the problem. Registering the firearms is not gun control. Gun control was Bill C-17, where people have to get an FAC.
One of the reasons for the decline in some of these statistics is the fact that FACs came in. Police officers had to do background checks. People were declined the opportunity to get firearms.
When we talk about long guns, you're making, in my mind, far too many assumptions that Bill C-68 reduced these.
I think, Mr. Comartin, you made the point perfectly clear when you talked about the two police officers who were killed. One was killed with a handgun, one was killed with a long gun. In the case of the handgun, the man was under a court order not to have firearms except for hunting purposes. He could have them for hunting.
