I completely agree with Chief Bray: it's an important issue.

We regularly carry out interventions on the ground, and these are often risky. In some cases, the person has a replica firearm or a compressed air firearm. It's very risky for both the police officer and the person, since there is a risk of someone firing on the person. There is a risk of creating victims.

If we could find a way to legislate better control over these types of firearms, that would be a start.
