The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

Common Government and Media lies about the Gun Confiscation Program | The Hunting Gear Guy

I was recently featured in a CBC bit about the gun confiscation program with a . . .less than charitable framing of a clip. Reading a recent error-laden CTV article and seeing the government rapid-fire lies one after the other when they recently spoke on the Assault-Style Firearms Compensation...

Now that the LPC has their coveted majority, they have re-started the business ASFCP, despite that, according to many gun advocacy groups, not a single retailer has yet to receive a penny from the original stock destroyed.

Business now have from April 20, 2026 at noon EDT until the end business on June 4 2026 to declare any not-previously declared now-prohibited firearms for potential compensation subject to available funds.

A few weeks ago I alluded that there might be some changes coming for the ASFCP. The hints I was given was that the program would become more favourable to gun owners, This is not what I expected, but here we go.

Ya I fear this next four (3?) years may almost end private firearms ownership in Canada. Single barrel break opens is all we will be allowed to have by 2029, if that.

The greasy way Carney gained his majority makes me wonder what was offered to the floor crossers. And some have not the wit to realize what you're saying might be true.

I doubt anything to that extreme. I still wouldn’t be surprised if they reversed course a bit.

Remember they don’t have to change any laws to ban all firearms in country, thanks to the OIC portion of the law. They can ban them all with a minority or a majority.

I think they know they have squeezed as much from that file as they can for now. I doubt we'll see any major changes, but we definitely won't see a reversion of the Trudeau era policies. His majority isn't that big, so he can't risk alienating too many of the diehard antis in the party.

Another consideration is now that the Liberals have a new DEI MP in QC, Provost is no longer the QC "Golden Child' and may not wield the influence she once had.

As a correction to my post #5443, the GoC claims that $22M has been paid out to retailers as a result of the first collection.

More information from an industry partner.

When the individual gun grab came up dramatically short, the CSAAA approached the government and asked that the remaining funds from the individual gun grab be re-allocated to the retailer gun grab. That being said, this renewed retailer gun grab may still fall well short of compensating retailers fairly. Hence the statement in the PS stating that this re-opened plan is "subject to available funds".
