Brent Rathgeber touts himself as a tough on crime member of Parliament looking to reduce crime and protect victims.
This is simply laughable given his opposition to the gun registry. The facts are simple — the gun registry reduces gun deaths and increases police and public safety. When gun owners are required to register their guns, they are also required to store them properly. This prevents easy access to the guns by children, homicidal husbands, thieves or people contemplating suicide.
Since the gun registry has been implemented, gun deaths have decreased. A vote to scrap the gun registry is a vote to increase domestic violence deaths, suicides and police murders.
Way to get tough on crime, Rathgeber.
