Gun Registry Vote in Canada

For those in the 1:15 section --

I want to provide a few links to articles for any of you who may want to further explore the current gun registry legislation in Canada. As a reminder:

- the Coalition for Gun Control is the leading Canadian interest group supporting the gun registry
- legislation was introduced in November, 2009 and calls for a repeal of the registry for long-gun owners (does not affect handguns, which is only 6% of the total number of firearms)
- debate on the bill occurred today and the vote is expected late afternoon tomorrow
