Gun Registry

A Conservative M-P from Manitoba says she's a dozen votes away from having the support she needs to kill the long-gun registry.

Candice Hoeppner believes she has secured commitments from 12 opposition M-P's to put the minority Tory government over the top and send the legislation to third reading.

It comes to a vote in the Commons later today.

The bill seeks to gut the decade-old registry and destroy existing data within the system on about seven- million shotguns and rifles.
