Virtually 100% of affected Canadian gun owners are.
Furthermore, every single tax paying Canadian should be upset about the missed opportunities costs with this program. This program robs budgets from other budgets that could be far more effective uses of taxpayer money.
I don’t think anyone is impressed with it.
Is CBC too broke to afford a second stock photo?
She’s right of course, if only the federal government put half a thought into it
„Yukon Justice Minister Laura Lang said in a statement Friday the territorial government opposes the gun buyback, though it’s not clear what the territory can actually do about it. She instead called for more money for police to fight organized crime.
Lang also called the federal program unfair.“
No one except JT is impressed with this idiocy
No gun owner is in favour of it.
Anecdotally, in my experience even people who aren’t firearms owners and have a positive initial reaction to it think it’s dumb after getting even a basic rundown of the program.
Even the CBC is mocking it at this point

The Public Safety Minister admitted it was useless and ineffective and that it is only being pushed through for QC votes. This was leaked – they know it’s pointless. The Liberals want to spend your tax money on their election strategy.
So being „unimpressed“ is a reason keep illegal firearms? Not happy with your legal guns I guess.
But we are going to balance the budget selling the guns to Ukraine!
Sunny days ahead.
Watching our useless public safety minister publish a photo of a gun that has been banned since 1977 as an example of what he is trying to remove from Canadian streets was hilarious .
You really can have zero qualifications to be an MP and still be in cabinet.
Firearms so dangerous that owners have been asked to keep them in their gun safes for the past 6 years.
No one is going to comply with this joke of a political farce. It makes no practical sense, is grossly negligent of the use of tax payer dollars and worst of all doesn’t even address the issue of gun violence or illegal firearms in Canada.
First they came for the gun owners
And I did not speak out
Because my guns were not legally registered.
Then they came for the people do did unpermitted electrical
And I did not speak out
Because nobody ever saw inside my crawlspace.
Then they came for the chubby guys who mow the lawn shirtless
And I did not speak out
Because my lawn is grown over and full of weeds.
Then they came for people who drive gas vehicles
And I did not speak out
Because I have a diesel.
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
If your a liberal voter and against this it’s time to write and email your MP. Let them know it’s time to end this pointless ban
I don’t understand all pro-gun control people being upset. Gun control is most effective when everyone is disarmed.
The ironic thing here is that the government says that I cannot own an AR-15 as an individual.
But I am allowed to own fully automatic firearms under my business licence. So if I were to participate in the buyback it would be to buy machineguns.
And might as well flip the AR-15 over to the business licence and throw a super safety in there.
I’m really surprised the CBC is covering the opposition to the „buy-back“
No one likes it
So is the rest of bloody Canada.
Everyone thinks it’s stupid. It’s targeting the wrong people.
The whole idea of banning this gun or that gun is stupid.
Either you’re someone who can be trusted with a gun, or you’re not. *What* gun it is doesn’t matter, it’s irrelevant.
People need to stop giving this program credibility by saying things like “Oh, I agree with handgun bans or XYZ bans”.
They’re all equally a waste of time.
Canada does a very good job of screening people.
Scrap this already.
More provinces and territories are against the gun buyback than for. You have a mix of Conservative and NDP governments that are against it.
Either scrap completely or let Quebec ban and the rest of provinces do their own thing.
Somehow the term „Unimpressed“ just doesn’t quite capture the sheer amount of disdain and disrespect I have for this whole charade.
OK, that’s fine, nobody asked.
Which province or territory are we going to be reading about tomorrow?
“Unimpressed”?! I think most gunowners have more choice words than that.
Many who are knowledgeable about the situation would describe the confiscation more bluntly as political theater: an illogical, smoke-and-mirrors buyback that appeases certain voters without meaningfully improving public safety, while sidestepping measures that could actually address violent crime.
No sane Canadian is impressed by this. I am not even joking, even the anti gun lobby is calling this a failure. Not sure how long untill Canety and Natalie Provost can see that Canadians are taking the sign down
Most people seem unimpressed by it. Everyone except a few people in Quebec apparently
The Liberals have eroded the consensus on vaccinations, immigration and now gun control all to score some short term points. Systems that worked, that should be apolitical or have broad support. All because they wanted their wedge issues.
Imagine if you got a dollar for every time the CBC uses that image
With the Trump dry-humping the North America map, it’s probably not a bad time for Canadians to KEEP their guns. Might come in handy, IDK
