There is a fascinating article in the Globe and Mail about the history of Canada's failed gun registration scheme. Glenn Reynolds first blogged to it but Clayton Cramer has pulled some other interesting information from it. Besides the cynical adoption by Chretien's government of a multi-billion dollar boondoggle knowing it was a failure in advance, I think the most interesting information is that Canada's earlier firearms owner registration scheme had already been secretly abandoned by their RCMP. Keep that in mind when people try to cite gun control schemes of other nations like Canada.
UPDATE: Evidently my sloppy prose got me again. Jane Finch of The Daily Rant suggests that I'm giving Glenn credit for something she wrote about. I was attempting to write that Glenn posted a link to that piece and that then Clayton added some thoughts. What I found interesting in this instance was the discussion about motivations for adopting the gun registration scheme. I believe I did first see Jane mention the stories about its failure.
