(Re: Canada's LONG gun Registry)
When, as the culmination of a piecemeal process that began in 1995, the registry was created in 2003, Canada’s parliament promised that its cost would not exceed $2 million. By 2012, the registry had cost taxpayers $2.7 billion — a 134,900 percent increase on projections. (In the U.S., a registry costing the same amount per person would run $67 billion over the same time.) For this considerable outlay, the government reaped a homicide rate that dropped more slowly than that of the United States, a country in which gun laws have been slowly liberalized; a collection of disillusioned (Canadian) police forces, whose budgets were being eaten up by the growing costs of gun registration; and an angry citizenry whose indignation, ... was serious enough to create a peculiar coalition of the Reform, Progressive, Conservative, and New Democratic parties and to wipe out the Liberal party in the West. The registry was abolished in 2012.

And these idiots here in the U.S. want to do the same thing. It is estimated that the cost of maintaining a LONG gun registry would cost OVER $67 Billion on the outset. This at a time when we're practically broke.

Ah yes, but the anti gun mindset is so flawed in many ways.
