From John Lott,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Despite spending a whopping $2.7 billion on creating and running a long-gun registry, Canadians never reaped any benefits from the project. &#8230; Even though the country started registering long guns in 1998, the registry never solved a single murder. Instead it has been an enormous waste of police officers\u2019 time, diverting their efforts from patrolling Canadian streets and doing traditional policing activities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">###<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/gun-rights-in-national\/sf-sheriff-mirkarimi-caught-gun-control-net-he-helped-cast\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Non-thinking gun-control advocate San Francisco Sheriff arrested for domestic violence<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nAND he surrenders over 3 of his handguns.
