New bill would eliminate long-gun registry

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - The government has reintroduced a bill to kill the controversial registry for rifles and shotguns.

Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day says the Harper government promised to abolish the registry and intends to follow through. He says the bill means that retailers will still have to record sales of long guns, but individuals won't have to register them.

People will still need a firearms licence to buy rifles and shotguns.

A bill to kill the registry was first introduced in the Commons last June, but died when the session was prorogued.

Opposition parties have said they are against eliminating the registration requirement.

So basically its the same system we had a few years back. It was just a 2 billion dollar experiment. What we could of done in this country with that money. Now tell me who lined their pockets?

The liberals and their friends of course. They still owe us $250,000,000 plus that they stole.
