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.

As much as I want to believe this, I have a strong feeling we may be used as pawns.

I'm in AB and worried that all this talk of "we have your back" will be meaningless if the RCMP or whoever comes knocking after the amnesty is over.

Firearm offences are very serious and I can see the federal government coming down hard. Not a chance I want to get a criminal record

You in AB do not have this option. Your neighbour is throwing a better party right now!
