Thank you for that.
As one who has been fighting the long-gun registry wars for many years, long before I became an MP, I became acutely aware of the differences between what the rank and file officers on the street thought versus what the representatives of the police chiefs association thought. The disconnect was very stark.
Again, the criminal use of these devices, such as using a look-alike item in a criminal act, is clearly a crime: it was a crime; it is a crime, and it will remain a crime. This bill is a technical amendment to that court ruling that basically would treat these low-velocity devices in the same way as true firearms, and my bill corrects that.
