Tory bill to kill gun registry easily passes House of Commons vote
OTTAWA -- The Harper government's controversial bill to end the long-gun registry has passed the House of Commons, marking the end of a long political battle over one of the most controversial law enforcement measures in recent memory.

The bill passed easily, by a margin of 159 to 130, as the Conservatives used their majority in the House secure passage of the bill, which now goes to the Senate where the Conservatives also have a majority.
This should make it easier for the Government to block efforts by the environmental lobby to prevent building the oil pipeline.
The Senate hearings are expected to take several weeks before the bill is passed into law.
