|summary= '''September 22, 2010''' was a black day in [[Canada]], not only for firearm owners' rights but also for any Canadians who believed in real democracy.  At 17:45 EDT, the House of Commons voted on a motion, put forth by the Liberal Party, to halt the proceeding of '''Bill C-391''' &mdash; a bill introduced by Manitoba Conservative MP [[Candice Hoeppner]], which would have finally put an end to the  [[Canadian long gun registry]].

[[List of MPs who flipped on C-391|Sixteen members of the Opposition]] (many of whom were from rural ridings and had long campaigned on promises to kill the registry at the first opportunity) reversed their previous positions supporting the bill and instead voted to keep the multi-billion dollar white elephant.  The result was that the bill died by a narrow vote of 153 to 151.

Canadian gun owners, naturally, were monumentally perturbed.
