Mr. Speaker, if we use the L word, then we are out of here. Is that correct? I do not know any other way to say it, except I never saw more people who are strangers to the truth than the members across the way. It is a shame that it has to be that way.
I loudly and clearly said that $1 billion for the registration of rifles and shotguns of duck hunters and deer hunters is a waste of money. It will not be effective.
I have challenged the government: show me where it will save lives and I will support it tonight. Show me where the registration of a shotgun or a rifle will save lives and I will support it tonight. I have challenged the government for four years. It has not been done. It cannot be done because, number one, criminals do not register their guns. They do a lot of things with their guns, but they do not register them. It is pure and simple. To spend $1 billion under the umbrella of what the government thinks is protecting society is just not the answer, but the government does not listen.
