Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on his maiden speech in the House.
The member spent some time talking about firearms and the government's plan with respect to firearms. What we have been talking about is the banning of military assault weapons. The reality of the situation is that people do not need to be walking around with or have the ability to own firearms that are designed to kill people. A lot of people say these firearms are already banned, but a lot of them have not been banned; they are just restricted, and there is a difference between being banned and being restricted.
The bottom line is we are saying that people do not need to have these weapons. A lot of hunters will say the same thing. My father-in-law and my uncles are hunters. They will say the exact same thing, that they do not need a military-style weapon to hunt for sport.
Would the member agree that the vast majority of law-abiding citizens who use firearms in a law-abiding way for sport or recreational purposes would agree that this style of weapon is not required?
