By the court. And that's my point about this. That man shouldn't have had a gun in the first place, whether it was a long gun or a handgun. That's not gun control, what happened there.
On this whole issue about the long guns and the firearms, I want every police officer to know where the firearms are. It doesn't matter how many firearms there are; if there's one firearm, I would like the police officer to know it's there. It doesn't matter whether there's one or twenty; it doesn't make any difference. And that's the situation with those cases.
Bill C-68 does not make life safer for police officers. We're saying let's get rid of the long gun registry, but people still have to have a licence. Police officers can still check the system, and will check the system, to be sure that there's.... Well, it will tell them if firearms should be there, it won't tell them if firearms are in the house.
Make no mistake, it doesn't change that part, and that's the part where we're saying that people have to be licensed to have a firearm. It doesn't matter what kind of a firearm. Registering a long gun doesn't change the situation and it doesn't make life safer for police officers or for you or me.
