Bill C-391, a private members bill intended to repeal the long-gun
registry, passed second reading in the House of Commons yesterday.
Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MP Larry Miller, one of the seconders of the
bill, called the 164- 137 vote in its favour "a pleasant surprise."
"There was a lot more on our side than I thought there would be," he
said in an interview from Ottawa. "There was some individuals on the
other side who weren't on our side late last week. Obviously, I think,
their constituents have got to them.
"There's some of them over there that I know are tight in their
ridings and I think that they realized that hey, we better start
voting for what our constituents want instead of what the party wants.
"It was a pleasant surprise but it's the way democracy is supposed to
work."
Miller, long an opponent of the registry, said "it never did anything
it was supposed to except cost money."
