My statement was as worded, you added the narrative yourself, putting words in my mouth. I want the least amount of Canadians interested in guns. I said nothing about pinching out the enthusiasts and leaving guns to criminals. Contrary to popular belief these are not mutually exclusive feelings, either.
Wanting less gun culture in Canada does not mean wanting to leave all the guns to the criminals, in fact I want less guns for the criminals too. I want less guns everywhere. But at the same time have full respect and no animosity towards those that love and own guns properly and safely (which is the vast majority of gun owners).
