Harper states intention of endig the Firearms Registry.

[ringo]

I think it may have to be restructured from lack of funding, in other words, there will only be sufficient funds to maintain a handgun registry. Public opinion and Police data will support the phasing out of long gun registration. Harper still remains credible in his commitment not to shut down Miramichi, and credible to his electorate in his promise to phase out most firearm registration. Time will tell, my opinion is, once I prove myself able to obtain a PAL there should be no restrictions on barrel length, magazine capacity or calibre (25/32), these are stupid conditions that serve no valid purpose. If we parallel US gun laws, we do not create a black market for "forbidden" fruit. Increase time served and impose a mandatory sentence for felony gun crime can remove offenders for a very long time.
