Mr. Speaker, criminals are not afraid of this government, but law-abiding Canadians are.
Lawful firearms owners are not the cause of crime. Confiscating legally purchased and heavily regulated property will not stop criminals, it will not stop smuggling and it will not stop gang violence.
The public safety minister confirmed this week that the Liberals will confiscate legally owned property without fair and due compensation. The minister also said the Liberal gun grab will not be optional for police forces. How many tax dollars will be wasted searching the homes of over 2.3 million law-abiding Canadians?
Disarming Canadians and diverting police to the gun grab during a crime wave will not make anyone in Canada safer. Criminals are let off, taxpayers pay the price and law-abiding Canadians are punished. This is what happens when blind ideology replaces good old Canadian common sense.
