During its last term, the Conservative government loosened gun laws through a series of legislative and regulatory amendments. Astonishingly, Canada has seen an increase in gun violence in the past three years.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504135\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security proposed a number of significant amendments and accepted amendments from all recognized parties. A Conservative amendment even help reassure people that this was not a long-gun registry.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504136\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In 2016, there were 223 gun-related homicides in Canada, 44 more than in the previous year. This is an increase of 23%, the highest increase since 2005. In 2016, guns were the most common murder weapon used in this country. Between 2013 and 2016, the number of domestic violence cases involving a firearm increased from 447 to 586.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504137\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We proposed a suite of measures, each one directly related to strengthening public safety and security. These measures will keep firearms out of the hands of criminals and help police locate firearms that have been used to commit crimes. That means Bill <a data-HoCid=\"9710291\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-71/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and Regulations in relation to firearms\">C-71</a> is very important, because it will help save lives and solve crimes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504138\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Bill <a data-HoCid=\"9710291\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-71/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and Regulations in relation to firearms\">C-71</a> will improve background checks for people applying to obtain or renew a firearms licence. It will also require firearms sellers to check whether the buyer is authorized to own a firearm, and it will tighten up the rules governing the transportation of restricted and prohibited firearms. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504139\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is always fun to have the chance to speak some French in the House.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504140\" data-originallang=\"en\">The 2015 Liberal Party platform made nine specific commitments related to firearms. Bill <a data-HoCid=\"9710291\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-71/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and Regulations in relation to firearms\">C-71</a> includes the platform commitments that require legislative changes. These include repealing changes made by Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6714626\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-42/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Firearms Act and the Criminal Code and to make a related amendment and a consequential amendment to other Acts\">C-42</a> that allow restricted and prohibited weapons to be freely transported without a permit, and putting decision-making about weapons restrictions back in the hands of police and not politicians. It is time to have the experts actually doing the work, not politicians as it was under the Harper Conservatives. We are also looking to require enhanced background checks for anyone seeking to purchase a handgun or other restricted firearms. We are going to require purchasers of firearms to show a licence when they buy a gun, and require all sellers of firearms to confirm that the licence is valid before completing the sale. We are going to require firearms vendors to keep records of all firearms inventory and sales to assist police in investigating firearms trafficking and other gun crimes. We will not create a new national long-gun registry to replace the one that had been dismantled.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504141\" data-originallang=\"en\">In my riding of Winnipeg Centre, gang crime is an important issue. It is something that goes hand in hand with this legislation. In fact, as part of our commitment to make it harder for criminals to get and use handguns and assault weapons, and to reduce gang and gun violence in Canada, our government has announced up to $327 million over five years and $100 million annually thereafter in new funding to help support a variety of initiatives to reduce gun crime and criminal gang activities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504142\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Government of Canada also brought together experts, practitioners, front-line personnel, and decision-makers for a summit on criminal guns and gangs in March 2018. The criminal guns and gangs summit is an unprecedented national summit on the challenges, solutions, and best practices in the fight against gun crime, and in combatting the deadly effects of gangs and illegal guns in communities across Canada, especially in communities like Winnipeg Centre. The government heard from key stakeholders, including law enforcement agencies, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments, community and mental health organizations, indigenous groups, and government and non-governmental organizations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504143\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to quote my good friend, the <a data-HoCid=\"214300\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5504144\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Too many young people have been killed and too many communities have been marred by gun crime and gun violence. It doesn't have to be this way. By working together, we can make our communities safer through greater enforcement, collaboration and prevention. The federal government is making major new investments to tackle this scourge and will bring all levels of government and our partners together to confront this problem at the Summit on Criminal Guns and Gangs. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5504145\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have already talked about some of the crime that has been going on with guns in this country, and the increase in the number of gun crimes that have been happening. However, we have also seen an increase in the number of incidents of organized crime. For instance, between 2012 and 2016, there was an increase in murders of 17%, in manslaughter of 12%, in extortion of 74%, and in human trafficking of 300%.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504146\" data-originallang=\"en\">The meth crisis especially is expanding, facilitated by organized crime groups. The production, trafficking, and sale of illicit drugs, such as fentanyl, are often the main cause of gun and gang violence. We are taking action on that not only with this program of $327 million, but we are also ensuring that we have a bill, Bill <a data-HoCid=\"9710291\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-71/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and Regulations in relation to firearms\">C-71</a>, which is trying to bring a balanced and equitable approach to what we can do and how we can work together.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504147\" data-originallang=\"en\">I had the opportunity to read about some of the issues that are going on. We have enhanced background checks. We will ensure there is licence verification. We will ensure that record-keeping is done by vendors to be able to trace firearms used in crimes. I was looking online and I noticed that, for instance, pharmacies have to keep records for 10 years related to drug use and patients' records and who gets prescription drugs in our country. I think it is okay if we ensure that vendors actually keep some records so that if the police need them when a crime is committed we can ensure that they have the full story about what is going on.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504148\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would also like to talk about weapons classifications. Firearms are classified as prohibited, restricted, or for anything that does not fall within those two categories, non-restricted. The Criminal Code apparently lays out the criteria for what technical aspects of a firearm make it either prohibited or non-restricted, and the associated regulations directly list several dozen models. The RCMP is tasked with analyzing new firearms and firearm variants to determine which classification they will have under the criteria passed by Parliament. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504149\" data-originallang=\"en\">In the spring of 2015, Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6714626\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-42/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Firearms Act and the Criminal Code and to make a related amendment and a consequential amendment to other Acts\">C-42</a> of the Stephen Harper Conservatives granted the Governor in Council, or cabinet, the ability to overrule the variant classifications made by the experts, the RCMP, and to downgrade the classifications of firearms. This was done for two groups of firearms, the CZ 858 and the Swiss Arms rifles. As a former member of the 22nd Regiment, that is very concerning to me, because when we look at a CZ 858, it is a submachine gun. It resembles an AK-47. This is a weapon that has been used in the Vietnam War, in the war in Afghanistan by the Czechoslovakian army, and in the Libyan civil war. I do not think this type of weapon should be involved in hunting, as we should have respect for animals. I know most hunters have a great respect for hunting because it is a good thing to go out onto the land to provide for one's family. However, I do not believe that a weapon that resembles an AK-47, and has been used in armed conflicts around the world, is perhaps an appropriate weapon to have in our country. Individuals who own these weapons as of June 30, 2018 will be grandfathered. The government will offer a three-year amnesty to provide owners of affected firearms with time to come into compliance with the grandfathering requirements. During the amnesty period, owners will be authorized to possess but not use their firearms until licensing and registration requirements are met.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504150\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is an awful lot to cover, but I would like to talk about one final thing before the opposition can try to tear me apart. There were 1,200 Grant Park students who walked out of class on March 14, just around the time of the summit. They walked out of class because they wanted to raise the issue of gun violence in their community. They were upset with the propositions put forward by many politicians who refused to acknowledge that there is gun violence in our country, and who have not proposed adequate solutions. This is why I am very proud of what we are trying to do, which is to strike that balance not only with respect to legislative changes, which are simply reasonable changes, which is not a long-gun registry, and ensuring that we have good records in case a criminal investigation needs to be undertaken, and also having programs to ensure that we provide our youth and those who are most vulnerable an ability not to become involved in gangs and criminal activity.</p>",

Au cours de son dernier mandat, le gouvernement conservateur pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent a assoupli les lois sur les armes \u00e0 feu au moyen d'une s\u00e9rie de modifications l\u00e9gislatives et r\u00e9glementaires. Incroyablement, au cours des trois derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, le Canada a connu une croissance du nombre de violences li\u00e9es aux armes \u00e0 feu. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504135\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le Comit\u00e9 permanent de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique et nationale a apport\u00e9 plusieurs amendements importants et en a accept\u00e9 de tous les partis reconnus. Un amendement conservateur a m\u00eame permis de donner la certitude aux gens qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un registre d'armes d'\u00e9paule.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504136\" data-originallang=\"fr\">En 2016, il y a eu 223 homicides commis au moyen d'une arme \u00e0 feu au Canada, soit 44 de plus que l'ann\u00e9e pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente. Cela repr\u00e9sente une augmentation de 23 %, ce qui est le taux le plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 depuis 2005. En 2016, les fusillades \u00e9taient la m\u00e9thode la plus courante pour commettre un meurtre dans ce pays. Entre 2013 et 2016, le nombre de victimes de violence conjugale impliquant une arme \u00e0 feu a augment\u00e9, passant de 447 \u00e0 586. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504137\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous avons propos\u00e9 une s\u00e9rie de mesures, chacune \u00e9tant directement li\u00e9e au renforcement de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique, qui aideront \u00e0 garder les armes \u00e0 feu hors de la port\u00e9e des criminels et aideront la police \u00e0 retrouver les armes \u00e0 feu utilis\u00e9es pour perp\u00e9trer des crimes. Le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"9710291\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-71/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and Regulations in relation to firearms\">C-71</a> est donc extr\u00eamement important, puisqu'il vise \u00e0 sauver des vies et \u00e0 r\u00e9soudre des crimes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504138\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"9710291\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-71/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and Regulations in relation to firearms\">C-71</a> am\u00e9liorera la v\u00e9rification des ant\u00e9c\u00e9dents de ceux qui cherchent \u00e0 obtenir ou \u00e0 renouveler leur permis d'armes \u00e0 feu, exigera que les vendeurs d'armes \u00e0 feu v\u00e9rifient si l'acheteur est autoris\u00e9 \u00e0 poss\u00e9der une arme \u00e0 feu et resserrera les r\u00e8gles concernant le transport d'armes \u00e0 feu \u00e0 autorisation restreinte ou prohib\u00e9e. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504139\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est toujours plaisant d'avoir l'occasion de parler en fran\u00e7ais \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504140\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans son programme de 2015, le Parti lib\u00e9ral a fait neuf promesses concernant les armes \u00e0 feu. Le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"9710291\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-71/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and Regulations in relation to firearms\">C-71</a> comprend les promesses \u00e9lectorales qui exigent des modifications l\u00e9gislatives. Parmi elles, on compte le fait d'abroger des modifications apport\u00e9es par le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6714626\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-42/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Firearms Act and the Criminal Code and to make a related amendment and a consequential amendment to other Acts\">C-42</a> qui autorisent le libre transport, sans permis, d'armes \u00e0 autorisation restreinte et d'armes prohib\u00e9es, et celui de redonner \u00e0 la police \u2014 et non aux politiciens \u2014 le pouvoir de prendre les d\u00e9cisions au sujet des restrictions en mati\u00e8re d'armes \u00e0 feu. Il est temps de laisser le soin aux sp\u00e9cialistes de faire le travail, plut\u00f4t qu'aux politiciens comme c'\u00e9tait le cas sous les conservateurs de Stephen Harper. Nous visons aussi des v\u00e9rifications plus approfondies des ant\u00e9c\u00e9dents pour toute personne qui souhaite acheter une arme de poing ou d'autres armes \u00e0 feu \u00e0 autorisation restreinte. Nous exigerons que les acheteurs d'armes \u00e0 feu montrent leur permis lorsqu'ils ach\u00e8tent une arme \u00e0 feu et nous exigerons que tous les d\u00e9taillants confirment que le permis est valide avant de conclure la vente. Nous exigerons que les d\u00e9taillants d'armes \u00e0 feu tiennent un registre de tout leur inventaire d'armes \u00e0 feu ainsi que des ventes afin d'aider la police dans le cadre d'enqu\u00eates sur le trafic d'armes \u00e0 feu et d'autres crimes li\u00e9s \u00e0 des armes \u00e0 feu. Nous n'\u00e9tablirons pas un nouveau registre national d'armes d'\u00e9paule en vue de remplacer celui qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9mantel\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504141\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans la circonscription de Winnipeg-Centre, les crimes li\u00e9s aux gangs repr\u00e9sentent un enjeu de taille, auquel le projet de loi vient r\u00e9pondre. En fait, pour donner suite \u00e0 sa promesse d'entraver l'acquisition d'armes de poing et de fusils d'assaut ainsi que de r\u00e9duire la violence commise avec des armes \u00e0 feu ou par des gangs au Canada, le gouvernement a annonc\u00e9 qu'il investirait en argent frais jusqu'\u00e0 327 millions de dollars sur cinq ans, puis 100 millions de dollars par ann\u00e9e par la suite, pour appuyer des activit\u00e9s visant \u00e0 r\u00e9duire les crimes commis avec des armes \u00e0 feu et par des gangs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504142\" data-originallang=\"en\">En mars 2018, le gouvernement du Canada a \u00e9galement r\u00e9uni des experts, des praticiens, des employ\u00e9s de premi\u00e8re ligne et des d\u00e9cideurs \u00e0 un sommet national sur la lutte contre la violence li\u00e9e aux armes et aux gangs. Ce fut un \u00e9v\u00e9nement sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent sur les d\u00e9fis, les solutions et les pratiques exemplaires en mati\u00e8re de lutte contre les crimes commis avec des armes \u00e0 feu ainsi que contre les cons\u00e9quences funestes des gangs et la possession illicite d'armes \u00e0 feu dans les collectivit\u00e9s comme Winnipeg-Centre. Le gouvernement y a entendu des acteurs cl\u00e9s, y compris des organismes d'application de la loi, des gouvernements provinciaux et territoriaux, des administrations municipales, des organismes communautaires, des organismes du domaine de la sant\u00e9 mentale, des groupes autochtones, et d'autres organismes gouvernementaux et non gouvernementaux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504143\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais citer les propos de mon bon ami le <a data-HoCid=\"214300\" href=\"/politicians/ralph-goodale/\" title=\"Ralph Goodale\">ministre de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique et de la Protection civile</a>: </p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5504144\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Trop de jeunes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tu\u00e9s et trop de collectivit\u00e9s ont \u00e9t\u00e9 marqu\u00e9es par la violence et les crimes commis \u00e0 l\u2019aide d\u2019une arme \u00e0 feu. Il n\u2019est pas n\u00e9cessaire qu\u2019il en soit ainsi. En travaillant ensemble, nous pouvons rendre nos collectivit\u00e9s plus s\u00e9curitaires en renfor\u00e7ant l\u2019application de la loi, la collaboration et la pr\u00e9vention. Le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral fait de nouveaux investissements importants pour s\u2019attaquer \u00e0 ce fl\u00e9au et il r\u00e9unira tous les ordres de gouvernement et nos partenaires pour faire face \u00e0 ce probl\u00e8me pendant le Sommet sur les armes \u00e0 feu et les gangs criminels. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"5504145\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 parl\u00e9 de la criminalit\u00e9 associ\u00e9e aux armes \u00e0 feu au pays et de la hausse du nombre de crimes commis avec une arme \u00e0 feu. En outre, nous avons constat\u00e9 une hausse du nombre d'incidents li\u00e9s au crime organis\u00e9. Par exemple, entre 2012 et 2016, les meurtres ont augment\u00e9 de 17 %, les homicides involontaires, de 12 %, les cas d'extorsion, de 74 %, et la traite des personnes, de 300 %.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504146\" data-originallang=\"en\">La crise de la m\u00e9thamph\u00e9tamine prend de l'ampleur au pays, et ce, en partie \u00e0 cause des groupes du crime organis\u00e9. La production, le trafic et la vente de drogues telles que le fentanyl, sont les principales causes de la violence li\u00e9e aux armes \u00e0 feu et aux gangs. Non seulement nous prenons des mesures gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 notre investissement de 327 millions de dollars dans la lutte contre les armes \u00e0 feu et les gangs, mais nous voulons aussi nous assurer d'avoir les outils l\u00e9gislatifs n\u00e9cessaires, en l'occurrence le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"9710291\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-71/\" title=\"An Act to amend certain Acts and Regulations in relation to firearms\">C-71</a>, qui vise \u00e0 instaurer une approche \u00e9quilibr\u00e9e et \u00e9quitable dans notre fa\u00e7on de travailler ensemble.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504147\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai eu l'occasion de lire sur certains des enjeux. Nous pr\u00e9voyons d\u00e9sormais des v\u00e9rifications plus approfondies des ant\u00e9c\u00e9dents. Nous allons nous assurer qu'il y a une v\u00e9rification rigoureuse des permis. Nous veillerons \u00e0 ce que les commer\u00e7ants conservent les dossiers de leurs clients, de fa\u00e7on \u00e0 pouvoir retracer les armes \u00e0 feu qui ont servi \u00e0 commettre un crime. En regardant sur Internet, j'ai appris, par exemple, que les pharmacies doivent conserver pendant 10 ans les dossiers m\u00e9dicaux de leurs patients relativement \u00e0 la consommation de m\u00e9dicaments sur ordonnance. \u00c0 mon sens, il est tout \u00e0 fait justifi\u00e9 que les commer\u00e7ants conservent les donn\u00e9es qui pourraient permettre aux policiers de faire la lumi\u00e8re sur un crime.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504148\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais aussi parler de la classification des armes \u00e0 feu. Les armes \u00e0 feu sont class\u00e9es comme prohib\u00e9es ou \u00e0 autorisation restreinte. Les armes qui n'entrent pas dans ces deux cat\u00e9gories sont d\u00e9sign\u00e9es comme des armes \u00e0 feu sans restriction. Il semblerait que le Code criminel \u00e9nonce les aspects techniques d'une arme \u00e0 feu qui en font soit une arm\u00e9e prohib\u00e9e, soit une arme sans restriction. Par ailleurs, les r\u00e8glements connexes \u00e9num\u00e8rent directement plusieurs dizaines de mod\u00e8les. La GRC est charg\u00e9e d'analyser de nouvelles armes \u00e0 feu et des variantes d'armes \u00e0 feu afin de d\u00e9terminer dans quelle cat\u00e9gorie elles seront class\u00e9es en fonction des crit\u00e8res adopt\u00e9s par le Parlement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504149\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au printemps 2015, le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6714626\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-42/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Firearms Act and the Criminal Code and to make a related amendment and a consequential amendment to other Acts\">C-42</a>, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par le gouvernement conservateur de Stephen Harper, a permis au gouverneur en conseil, ou au Cabinet, de rejeter la classification des variantes \u00e9tablie par les experts et la GRC et de d\u00e9classer les armes \u00e0 feu. C'est ce qui est arriv\u00e9 \u00e0 deux groupes d'armes \u00e0 feu: les carabines Swiss Arms et CZ 858. En tant qu'ancien membre du Royal 22<sup>e</sup> R\u00e9giment, c'est quelque chose que je trouve fort inqui\u00e9tant parce que les CZ 858 sont des mitraillettes. Elles ressemblent \u00e0 un AK-47. C'est une arme qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 utilis\u00e9e durant la guerre du Vietnam, lors de la guerre en Afghanistan par l'arm\u00e9e tch\u00e9coslovaque, et pendant la guerre civile en Libye. Je ne pense pas qu'on devrait se servir de ce type d'arme pour chasser parce que nous devons faire preuve de respect envers les animaux. Je sais que la plupart des chasseurs ont un grand respect pour la chasse parce qu'elle leur permet d'utiliser les ressources de la terre pour subvenir aux besoins de leur famille, ce qui est une bonne chose. Cependant, je ne crois pas qu'une arme ressemblant \u00e0 un AK-47, et qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 employ\u00e9e dans des conflits arm\u00e9s dans le monde, soit une arme appropri\u00e9e \u00e0 avoir au Canada. \u00c0 compter du 30 juin 2018, les propri\u00e9taires de ces armes b\u00e9n\u00e9ficieront de droits acquis. En effet, le gouvernement accordera une amnistie de trois ans aux propri\u00e9taires de ces armes \u00e0 feu afin de leur donner le temps de se conformer aux exigences relatives aux droits acquis. Durant la p\u00e9riode d'amnistie, les propri\u00e9taires seront autoris\u00e9s \u00e0 demeurer en possession de leurs armes \u00e0 feu, mais ne pourront pas les utiliser jusqu'\u00e0 ce que les exigences en mati\u00e8re de permis et d'enregistrement soient respect\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5504150\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de mati\u00e8re \u00e0 couvrir, mais j'aimerais parler d'un dernier aspect avant que l'opposition tente de d\u00e9molir mes arguments. Pendant la m\u00eame p\u00e9riode o\u00f9 le sommet a eu lieu, 1 200 \u00e9l\u00e8ves de l'\u00e9cole Grant Park ont quitt\u00e9 leur classe, le 14 mars, pour attirer l'attention sur le probl\u00e8me de la violence li\u00e9e aux armes \u00e0 feu dans leur collectivit\u00e9. Ils \u00e9taient m\u00e9contents des propositions mises de l'avant par nombre de politiciens qui ont refus\u00e9 de reconna\u00eetre que la violence li\u00e9e aux armes \u00e0 feu est un probl\u00e8me qui existe dans notre pays, et qui n'ont pas propos\u00e9 de solutions ad\u00e9quates. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi je suis tr\u00e8s fier de ce que nous tentons de faire, c'est-\u00e0-dire atteindre le juste \u00e9quilibre, non seulement en apportant des modifications l\u00e9gislatives, qui ne sont en fait que des modifications raisonnables qui n'ont rien \u00e0 voir avec un registre des armes d'\u00e9paule, mais aussi en assurant une tenue de registres ad\u00e9quate aux fins d'\u00e9ventuelles enqu\u00eates criminelles et en mettant en place des programmes pour aider les jeunes et les plus vuln\u00e9rables \u00e0 se tenir loin des gangs et des activit\u00e9s criminelles.</p>"
