Brent Johnston Stephen Douglas By By Murray Gaunt, (Huron-Bruce) Following the tragedy in Brampton this week, with which .we are all familiar, the Attorney General John Clement was questioned in the Legislature about tighter gun control laws, Registration of all rifles and shotguns as a way of tightening gun controls would do nothing more than "accumulate paper", Mr. Clement said. He went on to further state that the problem is accessibility to weapons rather than an issue of registration. "If you made it compulsory that all who own firearms, regardless of their size,, must register, then those unlawful elements in society who probably are in possession of stolen weapons, or unregistered weapons, at the proper time will nto come forward," he continued. The long awaited teacher legislation is likely going to be introduced next week by Education Minister Tom Wells. The Act would set out whether or not the Province's 104;000 teachers have the right to strike., The Act has been promised for' almost a year.
