the cost of running the entire firearms center itself (long gun registery + licences + restricted registry etc) has been estimated at 65 mill a year (by the RCMP...). to break down what only the long gun portion of that would likly be impossible. but just the cost of the stamps of mailing letters to long gun owners every year is over 1.5 million. if they kept every staff member, every peice of IT equiment, the entire office etc. and only got rid of doing the paper work. then maybe your number is right. but that would be a wrong number, many would be laid off, and lots of other costs could be cut. making the number alot more then 4 million
also that 65mill that doesn't include many other costs such as police costs and time to enforce it (raiding peoples houses who forgot to renew they licence), judges, crown lawyers ect from all the appeals against the current laws and the 'criminals" in court from failing to renew them licences etc. all of this costs tax payers much more and is also wasted money. and a waste of police and court time and resources. dealing with "paper criminals"
when the auditer general tryed to do a cost report she couldn't compleate it because many cost documents were not availavable from the liberals. they had burried the costs and spending of the registery into other areas to hide the true costs.
