I just want my kids to be safe at school and not worry about some psychopath shooting up the school, then take then shooting at the range after school.
Not looking forward to stripping down my pistols and ARs to turn in bare-bones receivers.
Should probably pick up a few more NR rifles come to think of it.
If the government thinks the SNC bullshit would cost a lot of jobs the shooting community is going to knock their rainbow socks off.
A quick glance at a message forum that has just some of the firearms/ammo/target/sporting crap for sale in Canada shows 126 businesses- that's alot of (actual, non SNC-bullshit) jobs and stock to lose.
If there's around 950'000 legally owned handguns in Canada (not counting what's in stock in stores) at an average of $750 per handgun thats + $712 million dollars in private property. I doubt the government can afford a buy back program.
You may very well see AR's having to be turned in whole as the parts are also prohibited and such not being able to be sold. Any NR AR's will probably be seen as a loophole and be reclassified by the RCMP as Prohibited under a OIC. Any buyback will most likely go the same as Australia with a government "guide" to prices, you won't be getting full value. Between restricted and prohibited rifles and handguns I have about 35 guns that I may lose at some point.
