I would also like to broach the topic of compressed air guns.

Many experts and police officers across the country have requested a ban on the sale of compressed air guns, since they look too much like real firearms. This proposition is not popular among compressed air gun users, of whom there are many in the community of Vaudreuil—Soulanges. They would like to find a solution, but they find that a ban goes too far.

Another possible solution would be to regulate compressed air guns the same way firearms are currently regulated.

Would you be in favour of limiting the sale of compressed air guns to people aged 18 and over?
