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"
  Producer - Joanne Levy,   
  Shaw cable, Calgary (403) 250-2885
  Taped at the Triwood community centre in Calgary Dec.1994
