News / Politics / Activism Robert Freburg explains how the Saskatchewan exemption works.

If you are one of the people who does not want to risk legal issues once you are backed into a corner with a prohibited firearm, this is a new way to keep that gun in your safe.

Essentially, SK has it's resident's backs on holding onto your property until the Feds pay you what is fair to take it. And, you are gambling on the Feds ever budgeting for fair payment. That gun can live a bit longer and potentially a lot longer.

Note that he mentioned other provinces contacting them. Reach out to your MLA and CFO to express interest.

So basically if all provinces did this then the government would not have the budget for the billions of dollars it would cost to compensate everyone and then what would happen?

Then they just might have to walk the whole mess back. I don't think even grandfathering will save them at this point, because it seems like estates may be able to push the costs onto the Feds eventually anyways.
