| Tory bill to kill gun registry easily passes House of Commons vote | |
| 2012-02-16 | |
| OTTAWA -- The Harper government's controversial bill to end the long-gun registry has passed the House of Commons, marking the end of a long political battle over one of the most controversial law enforcement measures in recent memory. The bill passed easily, by a margin of 159 to 130, as the Conservatives used their majority in the House secure passage of the bill, which now goes to the Senate where the Conservatives also have a majority.

| #4 I second that, Twobyfour, and hope that the rest of the stupid gun laws will also be killed . . . someday. Over the years I have made some donations to the CPC with the result that they call me for money about once a month. Lately I've been telling them "Not one more penny until the long gun registry is dead". It's not dead until the Senate has passed it, Royal assent has been granted and the registry erased completely. Then and only then does my wallet get opened. |

| #3 I don't think they are embarrassed. I for one am not. |

| #2 This liberal fantasy of a control-over-the-masses registry wasted a huge amount of money, and accomplished nothing. And they pulled it off with the same b.s. arguments the gun controllers in the US used. Hopefully, the conservatives will lose their embarrassment 'aboot' doing the right thing, which by their statements they do seem to be embarrassed 'aboot'; and look South to the United States to see what we have done, with its universally positive effects. |

| #1 The Canadian Government will now impose a "Stupid People" registry; liberals are forming up queues to comply. |
