Mr. Speaker, we know that criminals do not register their guns and that illegal handguns are the primary problem.
We support the repeal of the long gun registry because it unfairly targets farmers and duck hunters, not criminals. It has been clear for some time that the long gun registry is wasteful, inefficient and does nothing to prevent crime.
Our previous extensions to the amnesty have increased the number of firearms owners coming into compliance with the control measures in place.
