Canadian Firearms Centre efficiency rises 2000%!

Congratulations to the Canadian Firearms Centre (CFC) for their marked increase in efficiency.
As previously reported by CILA, the CFC had spent $19,026 to process each new firearm contained in the registry. This number was based upon the amount of taxpayer dollars spent to date divided by the number of firearms registered to date.
We are delighted to announce an enormous improvement in the CFC’s efficiency. Effective January 14th. 2000 that amount has dropped to a mere $1252.96 per firearm. This number was arrived at by taking their admitted expenditure of $319 million of taxpayer dollars and dividing it by the number of registrations applied for (254,596).
By using the RCMP’s previous estimates of 21 million firearms in Canada, the eventual registry cost will be....
$26,312,160,000.00 ($26.3 BILLION)
No one could be reached for comment at the boondoggled Prime Minister’s office but an Ottawa insider pointed out, “This number is almost identical to the $85 million projected by former Justice Minister Alan Rock.”
That means that EVERY CANADIAN (man, woman and child) WILL HAVE SPENT $877.07 in net tax dollars to pay for the failed gun registry.
As a further testimony to the efficiency of the CFC, at the present rate of registration, all the guns in Canada will be registered by 2083, a mere 84 years. This is much, much better than the 400 years previously reported.
The Firearms Registry could easily be brought in on time however, by the simple measure of increasing the current number of CFC employees from 1,000 hard working, gun registering bureaucrats to 21,000 hard working, gun registering bureaucrats. They could even have their own city. It could even be a make work initiative.
Of course, this would entail increasing the number of trained, highly paid, professional police officers now employed registering the guns of duck hunters from a mere 391 to 8,211.
Of course,with the RCMP’s projected compliance rate of 10%, maybe they're almost finished.
The Canadian Institute for Legislative Action anxiously awaits the next announcement of this important program in high tech crime fighting.
