Mr. Speaker, it is my duty to present a petition signed by 25 people, mainly from the city of Calgary.
These citizens request that Parliament support laws that will severely punish all violent criminals who use weapons in the commission of a crime; support new Criminal Code firearms control provisions that recognize and protect the right of law-abiding citizens to own and use recreational firearms; and support legislation that will repeal and modify existing gun control laws, which have not improved public safety or have proven not to be cost-effective or have proven to be overly complex so as to be ineffective or unenforceable.
