News / Politics / Activism The CCFR is GIVING AWAY 100 Guns!

https://firearmrights.ca/2026-its-raining-guns-contest/

"The CCFR is rolling out the biggest gun contest in Canadian history. It's called “It's Raining Guns”.

Canada's gun lobby is launching an unprecedented project to hold the Liberals accountable for what they're doing to law abiding citizens. To raise the funds for this project, the CCFR is going to give away 100 guns. Yes, you heard that right, we are giving away 100 guns.

The Biggest Gun Contest in Canadian History - ENDs May 1, 2026

The contest is open right now and it ends May 1st 2026. So, you don't have long. Donate $20.00 to the CCFR and you will receive 1 free entry into the contest. The prizes will be awarded in one long video on or about May 4th. One hundred names will be chosen at random, and a donated firearm will be awarded. We asked Canada’s business community for help, and they answered the call.

The time to fight back against this outrageous and immoral confiscation program is right now. In fact, it's now or never. Read all the contest rules carefully, donate $20 and get a free entry into the contest."

Still some unanswered questions. Why would they mention that taxes etc are the responsibility of the winners? Would we have to pay tax on a donated item? Also, do we have to pickup from somewhere or will they ship, and are we responsible as a winner to pay for shipping?

Legalese to cover all the basses. You don't want someone to sue you because of some weird edge case you didn't think of

Still doesn’t provide concrete answers or enough info for me to want to just get rid of $20 like that just yet

Sweepstakes winnings are tax free in Canada.

If you’re a US citizen/greencard holder you could be subject to US tax on any winnings from gambling/contests/lottery. So likely what they are covering with that provision.

Then email the CCFR and ask those questions.

From what I can say, The taxes and fees garble is standard contest rules, copy and paste that from literally any other giveaway.

You don't have to pay taxes on winning as such. Tax on 0 is 0.

Firearms would be shipped to winners, it would be absurd to expect winners to pick up firearms that could possibly be 4000km away. Im certain they will be shipped and shipping will be covered.

Im not going to balk at paying 20$ to ship a free 900$ gun even if that were the case.

When you buy a raffle ticket in person from any other giveaway they are full of rules and regulations like these, you just have to ask to see them.
