This just goes to show again that bureaucrats, espceially government ones, have no incentive to save money or be at all efficient. Also, it didn't help that the proponents of this BS intentionally obscured the costs to just get gun registration passed into law.

Obscuring the costs of the program certainly helped the proponents of the law to get it passed. I'm sure they knew their cost estimates were to low (government bearcats lying about costs? say it isn’t so!), but they didn't care as long as the law was passed.

Exactly. The stuff I've seen ( see above ) shows that the billion-dollar price tag has been apparent for years, but they pushed on anyway. Let's hope our brothers in Canada use this as a lever to dislodge this little "unemployment insurance scheme for bureaucrats..."
