  • Extremely partisian NDP
  • Supports current handgun freeze
  • originally filed a motion to ask the house speaker rule the amendments out of order
  • appears to want to focus on ghost guns
  • is not MacGregor

To be fair, I'm pretty sure MacGregor was also in support of the freeze... Just wanted exceptions.
