Implementing the Firearms Act

Implementing the Firearms Act is a fascinatingly detailed article from CBC News about the costs of gun registration in Canada.

It seems that the leftist politicians who wanted the impose “gun” control on the people of Canada promised that it would only cost $2M to do so. It turns out that the total cost to the Canadian government is now over a billion dollars.

These costs, of course, do not include the loss of tourism dollars which have resulted from this fascist legislation.  They also don’t include the cost of compliance with these ridiculous paperwork requirements — because those costs are borne by individual Canadian citizens.  But most importantly, they don’t count the costs in terms of individual freedom — the greatest cost of all.
