Quebec wants to create its own long-gun-registry

 

According to CBC News, Public Security Minister, Stephane Bergeron, pledged the list will be created as soon as Ottawa turns over Quebec's registry data.

 

Quebec Superior Court ordered Quebec data of the now-defunct registry be handed over to the province this past September. The federal government had appealed the ruling, setting up a hearing for March 2013.

 

News of a provincial registry came on the 23rd anniversary of when a gunman killed 14 women at the Ecole Polytechnique in 1989.

 

The long-gun registry was created in 1995 by the Liberals and was constantly put down due to claims of its effectiveness.
