For the most part, the message I sent to Mr. Goodale was about backgrounds containing violence, and everything that concerns the different types of mental illness. I'm referring to individuals that are known to health professionals and to the police. Police officers repeatedly withdraw their weapons from these individuals. They are returned to them later for all kinds of reasons, or because the law says it is optional and not an obligation. That is what must be avoided.
Finally, in my opinion, that makes no sense. When an individual has a violent or suicidal background and must take medication and is under its influence, he should have his gun permit withdrawn. It should be the responsibility of the person who has such a history to demonstrate that he can own firearms.
If an individual drives when impaired, he loses his driver's licence. We don't do that for weapons.
