The Long-gun Registry is Dead

So much for the "wasteful" billion dollar registry. This government spends $100 million a year promoting its action plan, and bitches about $50 million over 5 years.
Bad management.
Bad management.
Keeping track of law abiding gun owners isn't helping prevent crime.
They're still tracking gun owners.
$1:
"licensing and supporting infrastructure" cost $259.2 million.
And it costs a lot more than the registry that tracked the guns.
Licensing doesn't really track owners. It means you've passed the proper training courses and are now legally allowed to own and use a firearm.

How are your rope burns doing? How long did you swing from a noose on Thursday before EMS cut you down?

$1:
A licence is your authorization to possess and register a firearm and to obtain ammunition. Your licence must be kept current for as long as you possess firearms in Canada.
If you don't renew your license, are you still legally allowed to own a gun, even though you've proven that you've passed the proper training courses? They're tracking gun owners. When someone purchases a gun, there should be some record of where that gun goes. Someone should be responsible for it. It was cost-effective to do that. The 10 years of bitching about costs of the registry was nothing more than political smoke and mirrors. The entire long (and short) gun registry cost $50 million over 5 years. AFTER they waived the fees to register.
Its Harper's dance with the ones who brung him.

RCMP can't or won't say how much repeal of gun registry will save taxpayers
So much for the "wasteful" billion dollar registry. This government spends $100 million a year promoting its action plan, and bitches about $50 million over 5 years.
Bad management.
$1:
More than seven months after the registry was officially ended in every province and territory except Quebec, the RCMP is citing a 2008 report — based on a 2004 costing model — to suggest the registry's repeal will save somewhere between $1.5 million and $4 million a year.
...
An examination of RCMP annual reports by The Canadian Press shows that in the first five full years of Conservative rule, gun registration cost a total of $48.7 million

Bad management is paying $50 million for something that does nothing to solve the problems it was intended to prevent.
You don't thing that spending a billion + on this thing wasn't a colossal waste of our money?

I think its misleading at best to include a billion dollar figure attached to something that costs between 1.7 million and 4 million. And to force a vote in the HoC before the cost data is available. If the cons hadn't waived registration fees it wouldn't have cost even that.

I think it's equally misleading to prop up a program that's doing nothing for public safety.

A drop in the bucket compared to the money spent prohibiting marijuana use.
