Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Justice.
On Friday, March 4 I attended a rally with over 1,200 gun owners in Preeceville, Saskatchewan. They are extremely upset with the government's new gun control regulations.
There are two types of gun owners in Canada: law-abiding citizens and criminals. According to the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics less than one-tenth of one per cent of registered handgun owners commit crimes with guns.
Could the minister explain how putting more controls on responsible gun owners better protects law abiding citizens?
