Without context it's hard to judge the program. Have violent crimes gone up or down since 2002?

I would think, though, that enforcing that kind of program is really hard given the porous borders with the United States.

What did the $100 million go for? In USA terms, that's a pretty small government program. By comparison, the department of health and human services spent 8 billion dollars on HIV/AIDS programs in 2000.

So, I guess what I'm saying is that there really isn't enough information in your post to judge the program as good or bad. Personally, I think gun registration is a good thing, but I can understand how people distrustful of government would think that gun registration is the first step to stricter gun controls.
