Canada went through this 10-15 years ago when the country imposed a mandatory gun registry program. They originally estimated that 6 million long arms would have to be registered, but the actual number registered was about 1 million.

Rather than admit that the vast majority of Canadians had no interest in complying with the law (some provincial legislators in Alberta even went so far as to publicly announce that they were openly defying the law), the Canadian government simply pretended that their original estimate was vastly overstated.

The Canadian gun registration program disappeared without a whimper a few years later.
