Today the Harper Government introduced legislation to scrap the wasteful and ineffective long-gun registry.

• The Harper Government stands with law-abiding farmers, duck hunters, and rural Canadians in every region of the country.
• We have long opposed the wasteful and ineffective long-gun registry.
• It needlessly and unfairly targets law-abiding Canadians while doing nothing to reduce crime or strengthen our efforts to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
• Since it was created, the long-gun registry has wasted taxpayers dollars.  This money should be used to crack down on real criminals, not law-abiding farmers and hunters.
• Our Government received a strong mandate from Canadians to scrap the long-gun registry.
• That is why the Harper Government has introduced the “Ending the Long-Gun Registry Act" to scrap the long-gun registry once and for all.
• Our Government will continue to take action to make our streets and communities safer by getting tough on real criminals and not law-abiding farmers and hunters.
