Madam Speaker, I will remind the government and all Canadians that assault rifles have been banned in Canada since January 1, 1978. The Liberals have since banned some semi-automatics, shotguns and twenty-twos based on the fact that they look scary, not on their functionality. The Liberal government would get unanimous support if it focused on criminals, repeat violent offenders and cracking down on the stem of illegal guns coming across our border.
Why is the government so focused on dividing Canadians and going after, statistically, the most law-abiding demographic in Canada, which is legal firearms owners?
