The still have a web presence: Coalition for Gun Control | Make Your Voice Heard

The Minister has said that the collection phase, which starts on April 1, will not be a door-to-door exercise, but has not outlined how it will be conducted, either. After October 30, when the confiscation phase begins, it will likely fall to regular sworn members of police services. It will...

They lack jurisdiction in the US.

That may be the COA. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. We can continue this specific discussion in the Gun Control thread until something goes sideways with the project and that story ends up here.

From speaking to some former cops I work with it seems that this will not be limited to retired and/or off duty RCMP members but will be open to members of other agencis regardless of whether or not that agency has signed on. How, exactly, they plan to pull it off, both pre and post October 30...

I wonder how much this thread will grow once long retired and off duty coppers start collecting banned guns.

I'll give Gary credit for sticking to the script. But Lloyd is somewhat correct in believing these mobile collection units would be going door to door as Public Safety has yet to articulate how collection will actually occur.

And likely tsxable.

I think the messaging from our side and the very public reluctance of many provinces and LEAs to participate in this scheme have shown those 38M what's behind the gun ban curtain, and it ain't safer streets. The Minister waa quite clear. Once the allocated money is gone, no more is forthcoming...

Thanks. I watched it when I got home. The Minister and his eventual replacement have no idea what's on the ban list.

Not a Canadian law (yet) but this is the dumb idea of the month out of Illinois. Imagine the font size needed for .17 HMR or .22 cal. https://www.mystateline.com/news/proposed-illinois-bill-would-require-serial-numbers-on-handgun-ammunition/

3K more in 11 days is possible. I read somewhere that collection/confiscation will start in early April. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

Not I, but now that the SCC will hear the CCFR's case, all bets are off.

One from my agency. It's rare, but it does happen. https://www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/local/niagara/article/border-officer-charged-after-allowing-truck-full-of-opium-cannabis-and-tobacco-to-cross-border-into-ontario-rcmp/

So am I. But you can't win if you don't fight. My fear is that a GoC win at the SCC will embolden the antis.

Having met and spoken with him a couple of times, he does not. But he is sticking to the script and that's pretty much what I meant.

In all fairness, what else did you expect him to say?

This is a relatively new addition to the crim code. When I worked at ADM(IM) (20 odd years ago) I saw more than a few instances where such an offence was alleged, but there was no "good" charge to lay. But, wasn't there a court martial a few years ago involving a female sailor where a charge...

Despite the wording of the Criminal Code and Firearms Act, previous Liberal governments have re-affirmed their policy position that self-defense is not an acceptable reason for owning a firearm in Canada. Justice Minister Allan Rock and Public Safety Minister Bill Blair were very clear in their...

My thought was that it might have been a hunting accident with a legal .223 cal firearm. You are correct regarding the identification of the firearm as long as the bullets are recovered mostly intact. You are not alone.
