I don't understand this post. A friend with a Pal registered a gun just last week. It seems the original poster meant that a bill to scrap the registry was started, but it is still in effect.
Nitro, you are correct. It has been presented to Parliament but has not yet been enacted.
Each bill requires three what are called "readings". That is when it is presented to the House of Commons. It provides a framework for the HOC to recommend and make changes to the bill.
We had the first reading on Tuesday. That means it's now officially on the agenda. It is in second reading now. After that it will go to committee to be worked on for it's final version. This is when public outcry or support is most valuable as the MP's and the government, like all politicians, are subject to media and public influence.
On the plus side, what has happened so far suggests the bill is being fast tracked AND the Conservative government trying to pass the bill has a majority in the HOC as well as a majority in both our Senate and in the committees.
It will only be changed if the government submits to pressure tactics from the media and the left.
