After voting to keep it, Justin Trudeau now calls long gun registry a 'failure'

Shortly after hitting his first bump in the road as the Liberal leadership frontrunner with two-year-old comments about Alberta, Justin Trudeau has called the long gun registry a "failure" despite having previously voted to keep it.

"The long gun registry, as it was, was a failure and I'm not going to resuscitate that," the Montreal MP said during a question-and-answer session with workers at an Ontario aerospace plant Friday.
