Mr. Speaker, I want to make an observation which I have not heard in in the debate today and then ask a question of the member.
For many years I have been an observer of the somewhat sad condition of the human race. In spite of the fact the government maintains that gun registration will somehow lessen the number of murders or whatever, I am afraid I have to say that gun registration in itself will not in the least stop people from killing each other.
My observation of the human race is that it is done only because of the evil in men's hearts. When that is there, there is nothing that can prevent someone from hurting someone else. That is my observation.
In the face of not having any real statistics that gun registration will decrease murders or criminal activity and it being said that a number of people are now being killed by knives in this country, on the same premise the government is now taking on gun control can we expect that at some point in the near future there will be knife control brought in by the government? Is that what will have to take place?
