Let's base what we say on the data.
After major tragedies, which are regularly brought up at this committee, the coroners have ruled that gun control or creating a registry, among other things, would not have changed anything about the situation.
I am basing what I say on data when I say that the money and energy invested are not going to the right place. If this is the value we put on the lives we say we want to protect, I see a problem when all of the resources are being tied to a piece of paper or that kind of method of control.
What we are not doing is dealing with a lot of people in crisis and thugs who are going to keep making blood run in the streets. In fact, that has been the case since this issue was first debated.
