When you look at the reality from a first nations' perspective, as I've stated, one of the biggest grievances first nations have is response time. As to whether having a licence to carry a gun is going to make a difference when it comes to violence with guns, I really don't see the legislation impacting on reserve. Off reserve, when you're looking at some of the gang violence and the access to guns, I really don't think this legislation is going to curb a criminal when they intend to do crime with a gun. They're not going to stop to think of whether or not they have a licence. They really don't care.
I believe the ones who are going to be impacted the most by this legislation are the hunters and maybe the trappers because of handgun use. Quite frankly, I don't believe this legislation is truly going to do what the spirit of it intends in terms of resolving crime. Maybe it will to a small per cent, but a criminal is going to do crime whether they have a gun licence or not.
