Part of the bill provides for Olympic and Paralympic shooting disciplines. You made the comment that there are many people in Canada who own a handgun but who do not engage in a shooting discipline. You openly wondered about the purpose of their owning a handgun if they're not part of a shooting discipline. I've heard suggestions that with the disciplines that are mentioned in the bill, there should be further requirements to demonstrate that you're an active participant and are actively training. There were concerns spoken to me about how someone could just say they were a member of a club, buy a handgun, get rid of the membership and then be left with a handgun.
