Yet another reason why gun registration is bad

Yet again, a nation of the Commonwealth serves as a living laboratory.


From the Great White North, we learn that their very, very, very, very expensive gun registry database is easy to hack. One of the geeks who worked on the computerized system has written a simple program to hack into the system. Once in, a hacker would have access to personal information on Canadian gun owners; information that includes their addresses and the types of guns they own. For a criminal, this would be the equivalent of an online shopping site.


Here in the US, and here in California in particular, we are regularly told what a wonderful thing a gun registry would be. I suppose that this depends upon the definition of "wonderful".
