The governor of New York, a Democrat, has proposed scrapping the CoBIS cartridge registry. The state has spent $44 million on CoBIS since 2001, they've collected a third of a million shell casings and not a single crime has been solved by CoBIS.
Coincidentally, the Canadians are scrapping their long-gun registry for many of the same reasons, though there seems to be more of a political tint involved there.
This bare fact remains: Criminals do not register their weapons.

It's always baffled me how registration is supposed to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals. Hundreds of thousands of tons of illegal drugs come across our borders every year, if we can't keep drugs out, how are we going to keep weapons, which are far more compact and more easily transported, out?
