Gun Registry Scrapped in 2010

The MP for the Kenora Riding believes there is enough support to dismantle the controversial long-gun registry.

A private members bill has gone through first reading and is now being reviewed at a Committee level.

Greg Rickford hopes to see the end to registry early in 2010.

"It's my hope that the committee, particularly the Liberals, don't do a two-face about-face and try to delay it at committee," says Rickford. "I anticipate later this winter to vote on it a second time."

Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty has also said he would continue to support the bill until its conclusion.
