Mr. Speaker, last Thursday the Globe and Mail 's front page headline read “Gun Law Creates 320,000 Canadian Outlaws”.
Even if anyone still believes the justice department's numbers, this qualifies as the biggest act of civil disobedience in the nation's history. Hundreds of thousands of gun owners are now in a catch-22. They cannot comply with the Firearms Act without admitting to the government that they are already guilty of owning firearms without a licence. Nor can they register their guns without one.
What will the Minister of Justice do with the 320,000 criminals that she created?
