Forget the cuts to gun registry, cut the registry

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thumbs Down: Even though the federal government has eliminated fees for registration and transfer of firearms and pledged to cap at $25 million a year the money spent running the gun registry, it's not good enough, considering it was budgeted to cost only $2 million in the first place. Ottawa should scrap the entire project.
