Obamacare Tech Firm Tried, Failed to Build Gun Registry in Canada
Breitbart News ^ | 22 Oct 2013 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 10/22/2013 8:26:42 AM PDT by george76

CGI, the Canadian company whose U.S. subsidiary built the failed Obamacare website, was once contracted to build a federal gun registry for the Canadian government...

CGI's contract was canceled in 2007 after a report by the Auditor General found that the Canadian Firearms Information System (CFIS) being built by CGI was "significantly over budget" and that it had been plagued by delays.

The Conservative government that took power in 2006 canceled CGI's gun registry contract, and eventually repealed the Canadian gun registry entirely.

...

The failed gun registry was only one of CGI's many Canadian failures, which included canceled contracts to build health care databases in the provinces of Ontario and New Brunswick. Despite CGI's checkered record, the Obama administration awarded its U.S. subsidiary, CGI Federal, the $93.7 million contract to build healthcare.gov, part of $678 million in health care services contracts awarded to the company.

...

The U.S. does not have a gun registry, but one would be required, according to Breitbart News' AWR Hawkins, to implement the universal background checks that Democrats and the Obama administration tried to push through Congress earlier this year.

There a saying in business that if you want to be a success, surround yourself with successful people.

It’s painfully obvious that Zero has it wrong on all fronts!

-——It’s painfully obvious that Zero has it wrong on all fronts!-——

No, he is accomplishing his primary objective. Obama is looting the treasury. All the other stuff is merely facade to cover the pillaging.

At the root, Obama is but a thief.

I remember the fiasco of the gun registry in Canada where the original cost estimate was way below the final price tag.

How hard is it to build a database of names, addresses, and guns?

the gGun Registry so was so screwed up and unworkable that after spending one billion Canadian dollars on the thing without it ever working, the Canadian Government scrapped the whole registry.

gGun Registry?? Depends on what kind of typo that is.
Handgun plus a few other "restricted" and "prohibited" weapons must still be registered. And you need have a license to purchase firearms as well as ammo of any type. I just bought a box of Federal .22 LR a couple of hours ago. 555 for $26, and there aren't that many available in my area.

Rush sees thru this whole charade. I wonder if anyone else in the GOP or media does.

The system is set up to fail. It’s set up to utterly fall flat on its face...so when they go to fix, what will come out the other end is a single payer system.

Obama doesn’t give a hoot about this right now. The Canadian firm was picked precisely for the reason it was the worst IT they could find. Kind of like the story line in The Producers.

Well, think about it for a second...

Was the purpose really for “it” to work properly, or was it just there to attempt to work, therefore ensure that the attempt, and waste of tax dollars, was not the most damning thing publically released about the program...

Imagine the attempt here in the US...The complaince by some, not all, the ability to prosecute a few obvious offenders, rake them over the coals, to further errode of the gun-culture in this country, making those of us who manage to endure such a freedom sucking attempt by the government to remove our liberties is seen publically by the low-information citizen and illegals in this country as justification for continued attacks on an unalienable right...

Something those folks would not understand anyway...

I see the same tactic being implemented, with ALL the bruhaha associated with it from our side of the argument, it still goes into effect, and it fails...

I see it as a win/win for the liberals and their socialist handlers, in the long run...

But, look at it this way...If you are smart don’t make a big public splash about your capability, and keep your stuff close by, but secure...

At the end of the day, guess what, you still have yer guns...

I’m jus sayin’...

Well it would be easy in states that require registration of all firearms you posess, and keep that information updated...

In states that do not, well...You kinda hope there is a little backbone of resistance to their insistance...

Ohhhh, that kinda rhymes doesn’t it...Better write that down before I fergit it...hehe

How the hell did Obama decide to hire them? On what basis?
*****************
The common denominator is John O. Brennan - involved in passport break-in in 2008 and the Muslim video of Benghazi fame.

CGI (Canadian) division Stanley,Inc: The passport breach of McCain,Obama and Clinton in 2008
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3082328/posts?page=32#32

Investigation of both incidents finds common digital forensic factors that suggest that the same person or persons involved in the 2008 passport office break-in (or at least the same entities) might be involved in the dissemination of the video Innocence of Muslims immediately following the 2012 attacks in Benghazi. Or, it would appear that way.

It is the professional opinion of this author, holding certification in Internet Profiling, that both incidents, despite this four-year span, appear to involve companies associated with corporate entities serving, or otherwise connected to, the U.S. government. This was determined through analysis of the IP addresses used to upload and change certain characteristics of the video, among other investigative indications.

Based on this research and investigation, the one person identified as seeming to have some level of involvement in the midst of both incidents is John O. Brennan.

And with Brennan comes the connection to the NSA
