Here's my next point, which is related. We heard from many front-line police officers who came to this committee. We know there are some who are adamantly opposed to the registry. We know their associations didn't agree with them, but we met some who were adamantly opposed to the registry. I didn't hear any of them say they were adamantly opposed to a green binder. So I don't know that there's really pressure out there, from even those who oppose the registry, for getting rid of the green binder.
We also know that the green binder helps the state. It helps police officers across this country locate and identify a criminal—not a law-abiding citizen who's never done anything wrong and just wants to own a shotgun, but somebody who's suspected of committing a crime, such as Marc Lépine. It allows them to find out who bought that gun.
I don't know why we're not supporting our police officers at this very minimal, almost innocuous level. I just don't understand why we're washing our hands of it and saying, well, this is really a matter for civil and property law.
