Titled:   Anger over UK gun register delay

Just as Canada learns that gun registration is a thankless and expensive task, the UK marches onwards with plans to repeat the exact same experiment and hopes to achieve different results:

The government has said it still plans to set up a UK gun register amid mounting criticism over its delay.

Commons Leader Geoff Hoon said the government was still committed to a register as the UK prepares to mark 10 years since the Dunblane massacre.

Mr Hoon replied: "I recognise the disappointment, and I share it, that the national firearms licensing management scheme has taken so long to deliver.

"The Government remains fully committed to the project and it is planned to be rolled out to all forces in England and Wales from June, assuming that the final pilot in May is successful."
