If I had to guess, a large majority of these are from gunshops or family members of deceased gun owners turning in firearms to the RCMP. There are also a lot of old farts in BC that have firearms, but their sons/daughters/grandkids don't have PALs.

My grandfather was, a few years back, dealing with a passed friend, as he was the executor. The gentleman had a gorgeous collection of firearms and reloading equipment. He didn't have the energy or room for the firearms, so he called the RCMP to come get them all. A damn shame, but I presume this sort of thing must happen all the time. If I were the gov, and my buyback program was doing horribly, I'd count every single firearm returned regardless of the circumstances to inflate my horrible numbers.

I tried to will my guns to a younger buddy, but his wife forbade him. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He's got a bigger problem than owning a gun.
