Mr. Speaker, it is not a ban. It is a suggestion.
People are still allowed to have assault rifles. The only thing that has changed is that now they are also allowed to sell those rifles to the government.
Again, we are not talking about hunting rifles or harassing hunters, we are talking about military-style rifles like the ones that were used in mass shootings such as the one at Polytechnique.
The Prime Minister promised the families and the survivors of Polytechnique that he would ban assault rifles. Does he realize that he is betraying them?
