INQUIRING REPORTER

LAST WEEKEND approximately 5,000 rallied on the lawn of
the Parliament to show their displeasure over Justice Minister
Alan Rock’s proposed legisiation on gun controls. The bill is
expected to address three issues: legal registration of all
firearms by their owners, tighter checks at border crossings
into Canada from the United States and stiffer penalties for
people convicted of any offence involving a firearm. It has
been estimated that six million guns are legally owned in
Canada. Hunters and collectors believe that registration of all

rifles or guns would be costly to Canadian taxpayers, could
lead to an outright ban on all guns and wrengly fingers them
as being responsibte for crime involving guns. Many of them
believe proper enforcement of existing laws with stiffer penal-
ties for those using a gun to execute a crime would suffice.
Supporters of the bill believe forced registration of all guns
will make it easier te track a gun’s origin and make it more
difficult for them to fall into the wrong hands. North Shore
MPs are already receiving community feedback on the bill.

Are you in favor of increased gun contro] measures?
