Canadians Aren’t Turning in Their Guns​

• https://thereload.com/author/jfogleman96gmail-com/
• Few gun owners are turning in weapons recently been made illegal by the Canadian government.
  
  That’s according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). They said Canadians had only turned in 160 of the recently-outlawed firearms for destruction since the announcement of the ban.
  
  
  
• The announcement comes as the April 2022 deadline for the “assault weapon” confiscation order rapidly approaches. The Canadian government’s plan to collect the affected weapons has been rife with problems since it was announced. Consulting fees and enforcement planning have resulted in a bloated budget before even a single weapon has been “bought back,” and a concrete plan for the buyback program is yet to be finalized. It now appears affected gun owners are hesitant to give up their guns.
  
  The buyback scheme is the result of a May 2020 regulation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau banning 1,500 “assault weapons” by make and model. It was enacted in response to a high-profile mass shooting in Nova Scotia, in which a gunman used illegally-obtained weapons to murder 22 people.
  
  The ban provided a two-year amnesty period from its announcement for gun owners to comply but prohibited them from using any weapon affected by the ban going forward. The government estimates that approximately 72,000 gun owners and 105,000 firearms are affected by the policy.

We have not seen too many salted weapons, EH??!!!

 

[ManualF150]

Canada is weird with guns... heck they have ordinances on air guns.

Their “leaders” do. Trudeau would cream himself at the chance to stuff everyone who disagreed with him in a camp.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

They wiped their asses with government registration before. I'm glad they are doing it again!

I follow a few Canucks on Twitter. They are feeling very scared these days.

There's more than that in NY alone. Wonder where they got those numbers. I know they've had some restrictions before but that seems low

NY probably has more than that in some counties.

 

[Grimscale]

Wonder where they got those numbers.

From the few ignorant enough to actually register their property with an overbearing government. Something New Yorkers were unwilling to do (at least the ones who don't willingly march into the pens and bleat for handouts from the .gov).

what was the actual number of surrenders in NY vs. estimated numbers of ARs when the unSAFE Act hit?

IDK but IIRC as far as registration of the so called assault weapons goes.
The compliance rate wasn't any higher than 5%.

I had heard somewhere that compliance was estimated to be around 4%. The majority of that was LEOs because everyone already knew they had them

They already are: They just canceled New Year's Eve on New Year's Eve.
Imagine if you are a restaurant owner.

The eastern part of Canada has never really been super pro gun. And from Montreal to Windsor is like 75% of Canada's population.

Their gun nuts are the guys out west in the prairies and mountains. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba etc. They have a very different culture than their great lakes countrymen.

In one way to compare NY is exactly the same as Canada. A super Majority of the population lives in one small area who has an ingrained culture of being anti gun controlling the rest of the state/country with much more moderate attitudes towards guns.

In my many years visiting Canada (Ontario mostly), I found: plenty of bad food,- especially beef products; poorly identified roads; a pretty useless public medical system that had most who needed urgent surgery heading over to the states and paying out of pocket; a lot of butt ugly clothes; way too many libs who when it comes to firearms, think that our pro 2A people are just uncontrolled wanna be cowboys and gangsters, and who think that there is no need for anyone to have guns at all; way too many third world foreigners with poor grooming and cleanliness and who won’t use deodorant ever; and a herd mentality that thinks that anything Trudeau must be good for them.

They live for hockey and soccer, and doughnuts and beer. That’s about it. If you want to piss them off, tell them that they are almost good enough to become our 51st state, - maybe!

A few People registered them, there always are, however the largest Group said to have "registered" were those in Law Enforcement, particularly Corrections. Now I have no supporting Data to prove that, but it did come from a Corrections Officer who at the time was telling of Department Policy and the trouble they could get in.
Cuomo said there were Millions of AW's in NY....even at just one million, the <44,000 registration only amounts to a fraction. FUAC

Yeah I read that most of the people who registered their "so called" assault rifle(s) were people like Law Enforcement, particularly Corrections.

Attorney's, Doctors, Priests, anyone that had a lot to lose if they lost their particular profession. That's what I read anyways.

Either way, registration was only something like a pathetic 4 or 5% LOL.

Well the government will come for them. I am 100% sure they have been registered.

Option 1- A knock at your door by a SWAT team

Option 2- Seize all assets and freeze bank accounts until they comply.

I think we all know which one they will use in Canada and here in the U.S. when the time comes.

Neither will work in the US.

In light of recent cowardly developments in Maple syrup land, I'd suggest buying more. You're gonna need em.

Option 4, they were stolen by terrorists truckers , fill out police report.

Option 5: There ends up being too many guns and ammo for them to realistically confiscate and they lose all morale
