End of an Error: Canadian gun registry to be dismantled

by Jim Shepherd It was a government boondoggle from the very beginning. It cost multiples of the budgeted funding, ran years behind in development, caused nothing but problems for law-abiding citizens and, as it has come to an inauspicious end, has failed to save even one life. Sounds like business-as-usual in Washington, doesn't it? Fortunately, this boondoggle wasn't "made in America" it was...

After Bloomberg's latest antics, it's time to take the gloves off
