Pretty much, and do not think for one moment that they're concerned with criminal use of guns or mass shooters. They're quite comfortable with those. The polytechnique shooting happening in 1989 was perfect timing for them to use it as an excuse for gun laws when the real reason was likely the Oka Crisis.
