Looks cute, I'm not sure I'd want to "assault" anything with it though.

It won't be on the buy back just prohibited, so you just have to destroy it and no you dont not need to provide proof of destruction. But be sure to not have it if they ever come looking.

Isn’t it easier just to turn it in and have them do the destruction work? Sounds like a hassle.

Hacksaw and a hammer and 5 minutes of your time. Plus a middle finger to our wonderful overlords.

IVe never decommissioned before. Other than plugging what else needs to be done

There is decommissioned and destroyed. The first has to be done professionally and approved by the rcmp. Destruction is as you think, cut it in to multiple pieces, smash the piss out of it with a sledgehammer. Make it so that in no way could working parts be put back or things welded back together. Then you can lay it out in a shadow box and hang it on your wall as an ode to tyranny. With a decommissioned one though there is a secondary market for reselling. As time passes, a gun that once sold for a thousand or more may be worth the same even though is basically a wall hanger.

So the directive is decommission or destroy?

Or if its on the buy back list and was expensive and you need the money, turn it in. Can't fault someone for that. People need money in this bankrupt Country. But if your not going to get anything for it, to hell with good old gov.

I feel like it’d be better if they offered a buyback for everything, unless they need to be able to have some direct reference for fair market value.

I didn’t get the last part. What did you mean by “But if my not going to get anything for it”?

As in if its simply now a prohibited gun not on the buy back list (there are a few). Or, was a cheap range toy that wasn't expensive. One can destroy or have deactivated, again ones own prerogative.
