The long-gun registry has survived a critical vote but just barely.
MPs last night voted 153 to 151 in favour of a Liberal motion that essentially killed a Conservative bill to scrap the program.
Thunder Bay Rainy River MP John Rafferty says he'll be polling his constituents to find out what they want him to do next.
Rafferty was one of a handful of New Democrats who wanted to see the registry scrapped.
Kenora MP Greg Rickford expects the decision will now becoming a huge election issue in the ridings of MP's who voted to kill the bill.
