Bill to End Canadian Long-Gun Registry

The Conservative government has followed up on its one-year amnesty for long-gun owners by tabling a bill to end the Canadian long-gun registry. With the House of Commons about to close for the summer, nothing will happen on the bill until the fall, and even then it's not clear if the government can muster enough votes to get it passed. While the bill does away with the need to register rifles and shotguns, it keeps the requirements for registering restricted and prohibited firearms such as handguns. Some of the current requirements for long-gun owners would also remain in place, like all gun owners requiring a firearms license, the need for police safety checks, and safety training.
