If you outlaw guns, only criminals will have guns.
So the short gun registry will continue to exist? Or is Harper going to abolish the entire gun registry?
Sounds like based on both of your posts, that a part of the gun registry will be sticking around.. but the contentious part of the registry is going to be laid to rest..
