There was such upheaval that it changed the course of the election in my riding, where lawful firearms owners felt that the legislation the Liberals were bringing in was unjust. They feel the same way about this.</p>",

Le toll\u00e9 avait \u00e9t\u00e9 tel qu'il avait influ\u00e9 sur le r\u00e9sultat des \u00e9lections dans ma circonscription, o\u00f9 les d\u00e9tenteurs d'armes \u00e0 feu en r\u00e8gle estimaient que le projet de loi propos\u00e9 par les lib\u00e9raux \u00e9tait injuste. Les gens pensent la m\u00eame chose du projet de loi \u00e0 l'\u00e9tude. </p>"
