Legal canadian firearms not responsible for overwhelming majority of firearms offences in Canada

Restrictions and Regulatory systems ALREADY in place prior to prohibition regimes and were VERY robust and restrictive.

Prohibition will NOT make Canadians safer. It will make it more difficult for law enforcement and military to train an essential skill off-duty with personal firearms which is necessary to supplement minimum departmental standards. Firearms handling is a perishable skill, departmental annual requalifications are inadequate to maintain it. This governments position on firearms is putting and will continue to put lives at risk.
