If the government House leader really meant what he said, why does he not start by ending the gun registration amnesty, which is compromising the registry?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2079699\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The role of government is to enforce the law, not to find ways around it. Its job is to enforce the law. Why is it doing the opposite?</p>",
