"After nearly 20 years, Canada appears poised to end one of its boldest experiments in gun control - the required registration of long guns, or shotguns and hunting rifles."

"Last November, a bill to abolish the Long-Gun Registry, enacted in 1995 and gradually phased in through 2003, passed a second reading in the Canadian House of Commons ... prospects are good for passage in the Canadian Senate."

"The bill would delete from federal law the obligation to register so-called nonrestricted firearms, though licensing requirements for long-gun owners to buy or possess firearms and to buy ammunition would remain in place."

"The legislation would also require all registration information collected to date to be destroyed." ...

We just received a survey from our Canadian Senator asking to let him know if we in Yukon want the thing abolished.

RCMP's acting firearms chief moved from post as gun bill debate looms

OTTAWA - The Mountie in charge of the RCMP's firearms program has been moved out of the job.

The shift comes just weeks before Parliament resumes debate of a Conservative private member's bill that would kill the national long-gun registry, raising questions about the timing.

Chief Supt. Marty Cheliak was named acting director of the Canadian Firearms Program a year ago.

The RCMP says Cheliak does not meet the bilingual requirements of the senior job and has been sent for French-language training.

A permanent replacement will be announced soon.

A spokesman for Public Safety Minister Vic Toews says the move was an RCMP decision.

Chris McCluskey says the Mounties have "complete autonomy" over personnel decisions.
