Will Harper Flip and Flop on Gun Registry?

Here's some interesting information from Wikipedia:
Harper was the only Reform MP to vote for a bill establishing the Canadian gun registry at second reading stage in 1995, although he voted against it at third reading. He made his initial decision after concluding that a majority of his constituents supported the measure, but later decided that there was substantial opposition to the law.[13]
I have read this somewhere else too. If his constituents wanted it back then, and the registry is accessed over 5,000 times a day - wouldn't the Conservatives be wasting another billion dollars scrapping this program?

Sure it wasn't managed well up to this point - but they are not arguing we don't need - they just want to rid the country of Liberal waste. Well - Harper, step up - keep the registry that you voted for and make it work more efficiently.
