Long Gun Registry Alive
The long gun registry lives. MPs voted 153-151 Wednesday night to kill the Tory bill to scrap the program. Thunder Bay Rainy River MP John Rafferty says he's going to poll his constituents on what they would like seen done with the registry in the future. Thunder Bay Superior North MP Bruce Hyer says his party will introduce a bill calling for changes to the registry. Meanwhile, Kenora MP Greg Rickford says he's dissapointed and notes it was an emotional day. All three Northwestern Ontario MPs supported scrapping the registry.
