Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I am today presenting petitions signed by 1,563 of my constituents of Prince George-Peace River.
The petitioners feel that no amount of gun control has ever succeeded in preventing criminals from acquiring guns for illegal means. Therefore they ask Parliament to support laws that punish criminals using firearms, support, recognize and protect the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and use recreational firearms, and abolish any existing gun control laws that have proven ineffective.
I concur and fully endorse these petitions.
