I think the 75% who oppose the registry are doing so on economic grounds. When it comes to politics and beliefs about firearms I would tend to believe that the percentages would flip the other way.

Not just sure what you mean. But if you mean that (some of) the 75% who now oppose it do so because they see the huge cost overrun (from $2 m. up to $2 b.) then I would agree with you. I also believe that the public in large numbers now realize the registry does nothing to combat the illegal use of firearms which was the bill of goods the Liberals first with Allan Rock & then Anne McLellan sold it on. So now they also realize they were duped. Illegal guns and violent crime have increased. When someone like Toronto Police Chief Julian Fantino publicly states on several occasion that the registry has been of absolutely no benefit to them in any of their shooting investigations many people listen and then withdraw their support. So yes, some no longer support because it cost too much and others no longer support it because the light has finally come on, now finally realizing only law abiding people will register their guns and having a piece of paper beside Uncle Bill's duck gun is not going to solve very many crimes. So some who originally supported it no longer do so for 2 reasons; it cost way too much and secondly there is no measurable benefit to be gained from it. gg.
