I have to agree that it is unlikely the new Conservatives will do much to the gun registry. I'm afraid all the people who thought Harper and his friends are some new kind of politicians are in for a rude awakening. He will be much more interested in staying in power than in doing anything to advance the conservative social agenda.
To do anything about the gun registry will alienate way too many voters in Ontario and Quebec - just the voters he is desperately trying to please right now. He can't afford to make any moves that might destroy the small percentages he has managed to attract.
Politicians lie - especially the ones who say they are going to clean up all the lies told by politicians. Anyone who voted for them thinking they would get the gun laws repealed will be dissapointed.
