I wish that segment of my practice would disappear. The end result is that firearms owners are targeted; they're charged and they're prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The question of whether or not that could occur by decriminalizing it doesn't take it out of the realm of criminal jurisdiction. You're telling gun owners, “You are governed under the same statute”—the Criminal Code—“that governs assault, murder, etc., simply because you've licensed your gun and have complied voluntarily with this scheme.” That's the targeting of gun owners.
