“The legislation required licenses for gun ownership along with the establishment of a universal gun registry (including long guns). However, as Forbes pointed out last winter, the process turned out to be both expensive and inefficient, and the long-gun registry was scrapped in 2012.”
“expensive and inefficient” I suppose that means, like Connecticut and the mandate that they register their “assault weapons” most Canadians just ignored the law, eh?
It was a combination of Canadians ignoring the law and having a system that made Healthcare.gov look effective and cost-efficient by comparison. Iirc the system was supposed to cost $100 million to build, ended up over $2 billion and still didn’t work properly.
