This is the complete quote from Alan Rock, then justice minister who pushed
the gun control, registration and confiscation bill (C-68).
"I came to Ottawa with the firm belief that the only people in this
country who should have guns are police officers and soldiers."
-- Allan Rock, Canada's Minister of Justice, quoted in _Maclean's_
"Taking Aim on Guns", April 25, 1994, page 12.
"... protection of life is NOT a legitimate use for a firearm
in this country sir! Not! That is expressly ruled out!".
Justice Minister Allan Rock
"Canadian justice issues, a town hall meeting"
