The Toronto Sun wrote:EDITORIAL: Gun registry: 10 years of waste
Ten years after the federal Liberals introduced their now-infamous gun rregistry, pretty much everything opponents predicted could go wrong, has gone wrong.
As the critics warned at the time, costs have exploded. A program originally supposed to be self-sustaining financially after a modest upfront investment has now cost taxpayers at least $1 billion and perhaps aas much as $2 billion.
Imagine what even a fraction of that amount could have done to boost the ppolice presence and fund social programs aimed at at-risk youth in gun-plagued Toronto this summer!
