Conservative MPs in particular argue the Liberals are instead wasting their time imposing new burdens on licensed gun owners. Asked about it Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pointed out that the bill does give RCMP the final say on classifying specific guns as restricted or prohibited (meaning they must be registered and can only be kept under strict conditions). The Conservatives argue this all amounts to harassing legal gun owners with more paperwork. It's a regulatory bill that does nothing but target law-abiding gun owners MP Glen MotzReferring to “misleading, targeted ads,” Liberal MP Peter Fragiskatos asked for assurances on when retailers would have to show police their sales records. At one point, Conservative MP Blaine Culkins moved a motion to have the committee visit a shooting range for a “hands-on instructional day” with the range officer.
