Finally, an End to the Long Gun Registry

At long last, the House of Commons passed the Ending the Long Gun Registry Act last week and sent it to the Senate in a 159-130 vote. We are delighted to be closer than ever to fulfilling our promise to do away with the $2 billion boondoggle that criminalizes law-abiding Canadians, like farmers, duck-hunters and sports shooters right here in Lambton-Kent-Middlesex. As many of you know, the registry records will also be destroyed, finally putting an end to this wasteful and ineffective piece of legislation.
