So not even half of what they planned. Good thing it cost the taxpayers about 15k each firearm. I’m sure we will see violent firearm crimes drop /s

Just an FYI for everyone…the 136,000 target is the previously restricted (therefore registered), now prohibited firearms that are affected. The government knows who has these and where they are, yet assuming all the declared firearms are in this category (unlikely) they are still at less than 50% compliance.
There are many, many, models of previously non-restricted (therefore not-registered), now prohibited firearms affected.
The Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights, using sales data from Canadian Firearms Retailers estimates there are over 2 million firearms affected by these firearms bans.
The 51,000 declared firearms is at best 2.5% of the total firearms affected. This program is an absolute, complete, total failure. Anyone claiming otherwise is lying to you.
Edit: It went from oh the police won’t enforce this to,they WILL BE TOLD to enforce it fast

It’s hilarious that they can’t even get the restricted firearms, the ones that they know where they are. The non restricted firearms are probably almost untouched.
Looks like the attempt to coerce people to participate with an increasingly limited pool of compensation money didn’t work.
What a mess, all this to have no impact on crime.

I have a restricted CZ Scorpion in 9mm, I went through to submit it thinking I might as well get my money back. Was stunned to see I was entitled $0.00 – this is nothing short of theft. Claiming people will be compensated is an outright lie and to claim it is fair compensation is an even bigger lie.

They are about to spend 1 billion dollars to collect the „136,000 firearms in circulation“ (in reality its over 2 million firearms in circulation). What a waste of tax payer money. We just lost 80k jobs in the last month alone. Imagine what that money can do to prop up Canadian owned businesses and our economy. All this nonsense just to get votes in Quebec. No wonder why my generation and the ones to come have nothing to look forward to.

51,000 firearms out of the million or so banned from only 26,000 RPAL/Pal holders, also not to mention our secretary of nature psychically pushing the public safety minster out of the way just to call mainstream media disinformation for asking why such low compliance. This whole program is such a failure and needs to be scrapped.

They shouldn’t even invite her to these press conferences.
We all know it’s bullshit anyway, but handing the mic from the public safety minister to the (checks notes) secretary of state for nature doesn’t exactly scream confidence in your platform.
Maybe she should go do what our tax dollars actually pay her to do.

Now Anandasangaree is so happy will he arrange for all the firearms retailers to return the merchandise that the government declared illegal without any warning? Will they be compensated properly? Considering his demonstrated ignorance about firearms law in Canada, I wonder if he knows or cares about the people who own those businesses.

Bold faced lies by Gary and Natalie.
100% they have banned hunting rifles and .22’s
Anyone can go look at the list and see for themselves.
And they are not compensating fairly at all.
Scrap the program and fire these two.

I would love to see the list of guns that actually get collected.
My bet is that most of them aren’t even on the list. They’ll be old Cooeys and Lee Enfields that a widow turns in

If only the govt prioritized replacing it’s ineffecient, ineffective gun laws with a new Canada Firearms Act that takes inspiration from gun laws from Switzerland🇨🇭 and the Czech Republic 🇨🇿
It’s a win-win for both sides, as the laws would do a better job at keeping communities safe from gun violence while offering better protections of lawful, responsible firearms ownership.

„More than 51,000“ is an interesting way of saying „significantly less than 136,000“, just saying…
SammyMaudlin on
>Since May 2020, Ottawa has outlawed about 2,500 types of firearms, including the AR-15 and Ruger Mini-14, **on the basis they belong only on the battlefield**.
So I guess these 51,000 killing machines are currently in priority post to Ukraine? Everyone knows they need weapons.

When will they drop this bullshit and focus on the real criminals?
1 billion dollars already set on fire to bully law abiding citizens at a time we need national unity.
Something I notice no one is talking about is Gary said the RCMP will collect the guns across all of Canada when the AG just released a report that they are critically under staffed and can’t even perform regular policing duties. So how will this impact the already inefficient rcmp. I’m 99% certain he didn’t discuss with them and they probably found out today like us.
We’re not a serious country and we’re verging on failed state 🤦🏽
Birdybadass on
For the record there are an estimated 2 million guns in circulation that are now prohibited. 136,000 that were part of the previous restricted classification and the remainder part of the non-restricted. Even for the ones the government has on file, it’s 1/3rd. If you look at the total it’s less than 3%. The people have spoken, they don’t want the government buying votes in Quebec and the don’t want the government being co-opted by activists.

They can come and show up to my house to claim them, but they can piss off if they think they’re giving me a couple hundred bucks for my guns worth $10,000+. Lol no.

Nathalie Provost is absolutely unhinged and should be kept as far away from this file as possible. She is more or less the one who engineered it to begin with and it’s nothing but a complete waste of money and time.
