After nearly 20 years, Canada appears poised to end one of its boldest experiments in gun control the required registration of long guns, or shotguns and hunting rifles. Last November, a bill to abolish the Long Gun Registry, enacted in 1995 and gradually phased in through 2003, passed a second reading in the Canadian House of Commons by a tally of 164 to 137. It faces a third and final reading in that chamber later this year; prospects are good for passage in the Canadian Senate.

During his presidency in the early part of the 19th Century, Andrew Jackson famously challenged the United States Supreme Court to try and enforce a ruling with which he disagreed. The high Court, absent any physical means to force a commander in chief to obey its order, could do little in the face of Jacksonâ??s defiance. The government of the District of Columbia in 2010 is emulating Jacksonâ??s defiant attitude. The issue involves the extent to which law-abiding citizens in the nationâ??s capitol â?? which has long been a city that believes the safest citizenry is a disarmed citizenry â?? may possess a firearm in their own home.
