Paige Parsons with CBC. Several of the incidents you mentioned, they're gun violence, and the
00:00:05.600
public inquiry into the worst mass shooting in Canada's history is calling for stricter gun
00:00:10.200
regulations. Their recommendations touch on cross-border gun smuggling and also restricting
00:00:15.620
high-capacity firearms and ammunition. And would you support the government if they brought in
00:00:21.080
some of the commission's recommendations? What we need to do is stop going after hunters
00:00:26.520
and start going after criminals. The shooting that you referred to was done with smuggled
00:00:33.420
guns, not legal firearms. So Justin Trudeau and the crazy coalition with the NDP want to
00:00:41.080
ban hunters. But hunters aren't committing the crime. It's criminals who bring in smuggled
00:00:47.460
guns from across the border. So here's my common sense plan. Instead of spending $5 billion buying
00:00:55.680
back hunting rifles from law-abiding hunters, I'm going to put that money into reinforcing
00:01:01.880
our borders to stop the flow of illegal guns coming from the United States which are responsible
00:01:09.540
for over 80% of the gun violence that occurs in this country. And I'm going to reinstate
00:01:16.680
mandatory jail time for repeat gun criminals so that we take those criminals off the streets
00:01:23.640
and put them behind bars where they can no longer do harm. And I would point out to the
00:01:27.480
CBC one last thing that's very obvious to everyone but Justin Trudeau and the CBC. And
00:01:33.460
that is banning hunting rifles will not stop knife crimes. I just listed a whole series of crimes
00:01:41.020
that were committed with knives. Banning a rural hunter from carrying out a great Canadian heritage
00:01:49.120
of the outdoors is not going to stop stabbings on the LRT system in Calgary or Toronto. Let's
00:01:56.160
go after the problem and stop with the distractions. I should also point out that the approach just
00:02:02.000
advocated by the CBC to go after hunters has been tried. That's what Trudeau has been doing
00:02:09.300
for eight years. And what is the result? A 32% increase in violence and crime. It hasn't worked. We
00:02:16.900
need to go after the criminals, not the hunters.
