No Gun Registry InOntario, But...


Ontario says it won't create a provincial gun registry, but it will require stores to keep records of who buys guns.

Community Safety Minister Madeleine Meilleur says says the Ontario Provincial Police chief firearms officer
interprets section 58 of the Firearms Act as giving him the power to impose that requirement.

Her federal counterpart, Vic Toews says the collection of point-of-sale data is no longer authorized under the Firearms Act.
