Mr. Speaker, today I have a petition signed by 158 constituents of the riding of Okanagan-Similkameen-Merritt. The number of people who are opposed to additional legislation for gun control is growing.
The petitioners are calling on the House assembled to oppose further legislation for firearms acquisition and possession and to further provide strict guidelines and mandatory sentencing for the use or possession of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime. I agree with my petitioners.
