Mr. Speaker, it is an honest conversation because I think the bill does two things. It places much more stringent background checks on individuals so that when someone is acting in a way that is inappropriate, there is a longer and deeper investigation as to why that person may be inappropriately holding guns or a licence.
Second, restrictions on moving guns around cities makes cities safer. Those are two things that will make the communities that I represent safer.
Could the other side explain why registering all those other tools is acceptable, but guns somehow should be different?
