Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

[Jarnhamar]

First come first served may be the tactic here?

Almost like the government short changed the compensation on purpose to try and drive up FOMO.

Don't be fooled, saving face is the tactic here. They lose support they can't afford to lose in Quebec if they cancel this colossal albatross around their necks.

Sure. Doesn’t stop them from employing a panic tactic to get people to turn their firearms in though. Get your money now or never type thing.

That is what crossed my mind.

I don’t know anybody who will comply with this.

This is sure to make Liberals happy.

Ottawa unveils next steps in its national gun buyback program. Here are the details​

That $750M dropped to $248M quick.

There's only enough to cover 136,000 guns. Which is funny when you consider there's at least 95,000 AR15 model firearms alone.

Most owners of prohibited firearms are fucked for compensation. They get to turn in their firearms for $0 or become criminals.

I can’t wait for the class action for proper payment. You can’t prohibit or expropriate property without reasonable payment provided. Considering lots of it they just say tough (like AR-15 uppers) they will be sued.

We paid slave owners when slavery ended, this isn’t a thing you can just declare they will not pay out on.

I dont know how you cant comply if your rifle is restricted?

Previous NRs now R or P. The Gov has no idea who has them or how many are out there. 30 Carbines are a great example.

Another one would be the Norinco M305.

The government knows the name and address of everyone owning a registered restricted rifle. If they don't voluntarily turn in their registered firearms by October 26 they will be illegally in possession of prohibited guns and could face having all their firearms seized and whatever criminal punishment.

Edit - and just because you submit an application and let the government know what you have it doesn't mean you're guaranteed compensation. First come first serve so hurry up.

The aim is to expropriate without (much) compensation, but they've structured it so they can finesse it.

"We're not actually confiscating firearms. In fact, we're offering to buy a limited number. All that's happening is the firearms will be illegal in 6 months."

Too clever by half. Governments that so bluntly attack the triumvirate of life, liberty, and property de-legitimize themselves a bit.

Good little clip from Stephen Harper on what he advised the current gov.
