Mr. Speaker, the .32 calibre handguns along with .25 calibre handguns will be prohibited by this legislation.
What we have made clear is that the unique firearm, used for example by Linda Thom in earning a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics, which is a .32-.22 interchangeable barrel Walther handgun, will be permitted.
Today we made clear that as we refer this bill to committee after second reading in this House, we are asking the committee to identify other handguns that are used in competitions sanctioned by the International Shooting Union so that legitimate competitions can continue.
