I would imagine that if this is true and if this was done, it was done because internment itself was a gross violation of human rights. But I find it hard to see that the gun registry is a gross violation of human rights. At least, the Supreme Court of Canada has said that that's not the case.
Mr. McNeely, I sympathize with the inconvenience that the registry causes many people in your community. That's one of the reasons why my party, as part of its election platform, promised that if elected it would not be a criminal offence for first-time failure to register. But would you like to see the licensing provisions done away with as well? As well as registration, you'd like to see licensing done away with?
