Canada's long-gun registry on the chopping block

(GunReports.com) -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper's longtime desire to kill Canada's long-gun registry will soon come to pass. The Conservative government failed to end the controversial registry in the last minority Parliament, but now with a majority government, the Tories will be able to pass their motion with ease.

The Tories have long held that the registry is an expensive and inefficient mess that does little to control gun crime in Canada.

When the Conservatives brought forward a motion in the last Parliament to kill the registry, they initially found support. However, when the final vote came, several supposed allies voted against repealing the registry.

The motion to abolish the registry is likely to be debated in the House of Commons in the next few weeks and, given the Tory majority, will pass easily.
