Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has no courage whatsoever when it comes to assault weapons.
As usual, he has completely abdicated his responsibilities by creating a voluntary buyback program, since that is what it really is: a voluntary program based on a voluntary ban on assault weapons. The government is totally relying on the good faith of gun owners.
How can the Prime Minister claim that assault weapons are banned if he leaves up to 200,000 of them in our communities?
