Someone should release report showing the effects of how all that wasted
money could have benefited everyone by putting that money into things like:
reducing tuitions for education and make education more affordable for
students. Upgrading and buying more health care equipment. Medical research.
Pay down the national deficit resulting in lower taxes. invest in fighting
organized crime. Invest in the working poor by means of education grants
better education = better job = better life. that Billions of dollars could
go along way in these areas and everyone would be better off. If a report
like this would be released I think it would be a big eye opening experience
for all these people who are in favor of the firearms registry and I am sure
that they would change their stand point. They have wasted a billion dollars
to date how much more money is going to be wasted on this over the next 5,
10 and 50 years. The term money pit comes to mind.
