If they really wanted to get rid of the long gun registry
An interesting exchange from John Baird’s news conference yesterday.
Reporter: Mr. Baird, if scrapping the gun registry is so important and if the Prime Minister feels so strongly about it, as the Conservatives do, then why not just bury it in a money bill and make it a confidence motion?
Baird: I don’t anticipate that you’ll see that this fall.
