Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition to the House that comes from firearms owners who are concerned about past legislation and new orders in council in which the government targets law-abiding firearms owners.
The petitioners say that Bill C-21 does nothing to tackle firearms violence, but rather adds red tape to law-abiding Canadians. They also describe how the bill does little to tackle the true source of firearms violence: gangs and organized crime.
The petitioners are calling on the government to repeal Bill C-21 and devote greater resources to police so they can combat the sources of illegal firearms.
