Conservatives and the registry are exactly like the US Republicans and anti-abortionists in my mind. They make some some supportive noises and get the votes... I mean, whether they repeal it or not, are most gun owners NOT going to vote conservative? If they actually DID make a move they would just lose votes on the other side. Hate to say it, but most Canadians want more gun control, regardless of effectiveness, just like most Americans actually support the current abortion laws. Neither are gonna change in my opinion. harper might do a little something around the edges, but he's not gonna throw it out and face the howls, whether he has a majority or not.
