The Wasteful and Ineffective Long-Gun Registry: Scrapped!
February 16, 2012
On Wednesday, the Harper Government’s Ending the Long-Gun Registry Act passed through the House of Commons with unanimous support from Conservative Members of Parliament. A promise made is a promise kept. The Harper Government has always stood with law-abiding farmers, hunters and rural Canadians in every region of the country. For too long, the wasteful and ineffective long-gun registry has needlessly and unfairly targeted law-abiding Canadians, while doing nothing to reduce crime or strengthen our efforts to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Not to mention, the registry has wasted taxpayers’ dollars. This money could have been better spent cracking down on real criminals, not law-abiding farmers and hunters. Conservative Members of Parliament did the right thing by voting in favour of the Ending the Long-Gun Registry Act. It should come as no surprise that opposition MPs voted against the bill, and in doing so, against the best interests of Canadians. The Harper Government has delivered results for law-abiding Canadians by keeping our promise, scrapping the wasteful and ineffective long-gun registry for good. |
