everybodys talking about how long guns aren't used for murders, they usually aren't in other than strange circumstances, but they are used for poaching, and this long gun registry has made it remarkably easier to catch the ridiculous amount of poachers in our country. keep the registry. when the conservatives abolish it with their majority, it will just be reinstated when they only get a tiny amount of seats next election because of their destruction to our country. it's a waste of a bill.

@Bag0bandaids Ok, so if its reinstated by a future party, and currently the registry only has an estimated 50% compliance....I would expect the compliance rate to be even far lower.

do we still need registrations? plz reply!

[mgman71]

@TheMetalApocalipse YES, join Canadian Shooting Sports Assocation and/or National Firearms Assocation to help protect what liberties we have left

I hope that Canada can keep the gun registry. I have been following this on TV (CPAC station) and I saw a lot of good points made by the witnesses. Canadian Medical Association witnesses told H of C that many suicides are committed with long guns. Also the issue is not knowing how many firearms mentally insane people have. For sure, It would be beneficial to know how many long guns a suicidal or insane person had. The police would know how many guns to consficate.

@makinawdandy6699 They can only confiscate what they know about, not even half the firearms in Canada are registered anyway, so whats the point? Its feel good legislation

The best moment in Canadian HISTORY!

I see I've hit a nerve here eh? Haha! Love listening to Cons at work. Guns will save us all. Need protection? Buy a gun! It'll save you from the others with guns. Oh wait, maybe we need guns because they are so readily available... Pitiful and distasteful. Oh yeah and fighting for my Canadian rights eh? Guns will fight for my Canadian rights, all hail guns! You guys sure sound more like our southern neighbours than true Canadians. We don't have to live in fear of fellow citizens up here.

So why are we paying for all of these people to mooch off of tax payers? Instead of voting for these people, we should be voting on policies. After all, we are the ones paying for it and the house of slackers. They must be tired after standing up and clapping all day.

@ROBLOXIANgordonrox24 I believe it's to the discretion of the speaker, I think he'll start doing it soon, just need time to get into doing it out of tradition. also, it's most commonly done with popular or monumental legislation like in the video, so they make it look good.

[ROBLOXIANgordonrox24]

@flamedrag18 He's not new... He was deputy speaker for a while. While the deputy usually doesn't oversee legislation votes, he should know the procedure. I'm curious as to if it is procedure, or just personal preference of the speaker.

[flamedrag18]

@densaner77 but they make it obvious here, you vote and stand, they seriously have nothing better to do, the majority of a MPs work time is sitting down with a little bit of arguing.

[densaner77]

@flamedrag18. The UK House of Commons simply publishes a list of names of those who voted and whether aye or no through Hansard. It seems a bit strange in Canada. The American Conservative Union publishes their annual conservative ranking lists. These are based on members voting records in Congress. So i'm not sure why you think they can vote in secret.

[flamedrag18]

@densaner77 do you mean the call out for all the members who voted yay or nay? it's to show who voted for what, MPs are forced to take responsibility for their votes in Canada, unlike in the US where it's often anonymous.

[flamedrag18]

@deathbystarship yeah, but they do screw up sometimes, I've seen it on CPAC, it is funny when it happens.

[flamedrag18]

@ROBLOXIANgordonrox24 there's only been one vote on legislation, the voting to put mail worker's back to work, since the spring parliament was cut short by the election. also, he's new to his post, give him a break.
