In terms of first nations, because we are probably the most vulnerable of the vulnerable in this country, there is always that worry that our children or families can be harmed when it comes to matters of guns.
The problem that we have is that often when women report domestic violence, they are never believed. A lot of the progression here, to the point of violence with guns, can probably be prevented at a very early stage, but there again we are getting to a very complex thing. We're talking about gun safety and our women and children being safeāand men, of course. It does happen vice versa.
Until we really take a good look at this gun legislation and whether or not it's going to stop domestic violence when it comes to guns.... I guess that's the question. Maybe in a small percentage it will, but I would rather look at prevention and tribal policing. Our police forces on reserve would know our communities and our people.
