Canadian Press: Town Councils and Jonathan Hayward

canadian press: And a growing number of rural town councils are adopting resolutions denouncing the registry or calling for it to be scrapped entirely.A growing number of Quebec's rural town councils are adopting resolutions denouncing the province's law on gun registry or calling for it to be scrapped entirely, according to Toronto Star. Jonathan Hayward / THE CANADIAN PRESS The Canadian Press confirmed Wednesday that at least 15 towns recently passed such resolutions. As the deadline to register shotguns and rifles passed this week, 75 per cent of the long guns believed to be in the province had not been registered. Philip Tetrault, mayor of Warden, a town of 400 residents about 100 kilometres east of Montreal, said the registry is useless and will end up like the federal version, which was dissolved by the Conservatives in 2012 following major cost overruns. The registry might be popular in Montreal and Quebec City, but the majority of people in Warden are against it. In a few years, it'll be abolished, Tetrault predicted in an interview.
