Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition to the House that firearms owners from across Canada have brought forward. They are concerned about past legislation and new orders in council that target 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 violence, which is gangs and organized crime.
The petitioners are calling on the government to repeal Bill C-21 and devote greater resources to policing so that they can combat the sources of violence.
