I don't even know what firearms they want to ban. I might not even be of the stance they should be banned. I will say mental health is still a huge issue here in Canada and most mass shootings are done by those with mental health issues. I don't want someone like Justin Bourque being able to buy a a semi auto rifle, do a simple modification, drill out the magazine and end up with a fully automatic rifle with a mag holding 15+ rounds.
Now in saying I'd like to see something that would allow people to buy prohibited weapons with strict conditions like: a thorough mental health assessment, the gun must be stored at a secure central location, and to take it out you need to get issued a transport pass detailing your route(no stops) and range your taking it to.
I think the above suggestion would be a nice compromise for our policing agencies and their worries regarding prohibited weapons in homes as well as allowing the average citizen to collect and use prohibited weapons.
