The Opposition has successfully shot down a motion not to proceed with a private member's bill from a Conservative backbencher that would scrap the long gun registry.
Fundy Royal MP and Minister of State for Small Business and Tourism Rob Moore tells CHSJ News, he is disappointed by the outcome.
Moore says the registry continues to waste money, hasn't been effective and wrongfully targets law-abiding citizens instead of using the cash to go after real criminals.
The final vote was 153 to 151 and Moore warns the Conservatives aren't going to let this issue go and plan to press on to have the long gun registry abolished at some point in the future.
