News / Politics / Activism Hats off to those with registered prohibs that aren't participating...
It's obvious by the recent numbers/media event where Provost had a meltdown that most people, even those with firearms that were already registered and are now prohibited, are not participating in this clown show.
With that, I just wanted to say that you guys/gals are the real deal.

Yeah, my AR-15 isn’t being offered up for anyone, for any imaginary pretend buyout.
I’d sooner see it deactivated and hung on a wall for display than turned in.

u/HappyCan7250 Mar 26 '26
Honestly, it'd make a sweet wall hanger. Tragic, but might as well use it as a display piece since no one's getting paid anyway. I'd rather have wall hangers than give anything to our corrupt, incompetent government

u/philander201 Mar 26 '26
I'll report them destroyed and I'll take video of me cutting up my ARs on the final day. I never would have seen the $2,500.00 anyway, so fuck'em.

u/TescoValueSoup Mar 26 '26
They require no evidence of destruction, so why even offer it to them.

u/Late_Winner6859 Mar 26 '26
Maybe there would be a way to sue later for compensation? who knows.
The government is intentionally destroying our property. If it was a person doing that, that’s an indictable offense in criminal court (when over $5k, for up to 5 years). But if it’s a secretary of Nature with her pet chipmunk messing with millions of citizens and causing billions in damage- that’s fine, I guess

u/Cope180-Enjoyer Mar 26 '26
AI photos it is.

u/TescoValueSoup Mar 27 '26
Apart from providing false information - they don't require any evidence. Not a photo, not metal filings. Nothing. Zip.
Phone the CFO, say "I have destroyed a firearm, this was the serial. Thank you, good day"

u/Cope180-Enjoyer Mar 27 '26
Not going to downvote you but I have yet to see evidence of this.
Meaning the liberals are probably going to change it randomly since they love moving goalposts and changing the rules for no reason.

u/TescoValueSoup Mar 27 '26
It's right there in the criminal code
- [106]() (1) Every person commits an offence who does not with reasonable despatch report the destruction to a peace officer, firearms officer or chief firearms officer.
- (a) after destroying any prohibited firearm, restricted firearm, prohibited weapon, restricted weapon, prohibited device or prohibited ammunition, or
- (b) on becoming aware of the destruction of any prohibited firearm, restricted firearm, prohibited weapon, restricted weapon, prohibited device or prohibited ammunition that was in the person’s possession before its destruction,

u/Bone_Donor Mar 27 '26
Can you expand a bit on this? Been following closely but wasn't aware that destruction was an option (other than turning them in for destruction)
1
u/TescoValueSoup Mar 27 '26
You can destroy a firearm at any time you please, outside of the ASFCP, even in spite of it.
Maybe you just hate your Turkshit shotgun so much you decide to take a saw to it and cut it in to four through the action.
Maybe you don't want to tell the government what you have that was NR, is now P, but also don't want to risk criminality after October 30th.Destruction at home is an option and always has been.
They don't want to highlight it as an option because they want to know what you've got.
They want a nice photo of all the guns piled up and being fed into a crusher or a line of chop saws.All you need to do is report it to the CFO - IF - the firearm is Restricted or Prohibited.
There is no obligation to report the destruction of a Non Restricted firearm.Criminal code
- 106 (1) Every person commits an offence who does not with reasonable despatch report the destruction to a peace officer, firearms officer or chief firearms officer.
- (a) after destroying any prohibited firearm, restricted firearm, prohibited weapon, restricted weapon, prohibited device or prohibited ammunition, or
- (b) on becoming aware of the destruction of any prohibited firearm, restricted firearm, prohibited weapon, restricted weapon, prohibited device or prohibited ammunition that was in the person’s possession before its destruction,

u/Xaxxus Mar 26 '26
Ironically, if I searched one using the unregistered tab it said $2750 which was more than what I paid for mine.
Too bad mine was registered.

u/Equivalent-Win4541 Mar 30 '26
wait, can you explain that again. So if you haven't yet declared the firearm, and check compensation, its shows high amount and when you say have declared it, the amount drops to NIL?
1
u/Xaxxus Mar 30 '26
So when I looked on the website, there are two tabs:
- registered firearms
- non registered
Registered was anything restricted that got prohibited
Non registered was guns they don’t know you have (non restricted to prohibited)
When I selected the registered tab, I saw my ps90 on there. And it said estimated return value of 0
But when I went to the non registered tab, you can search for guns there. I searched ps90 and saw a value of 2750.
Maybe it’s a website bug?

Not gonna lie, I felt some pride seeing her sweat knowing I didn’t sign up any of my (previously) restricted rifles. Oct 30th I’ll chop up the receivers with my 9” grinder, throw all the chunks mixed up into a bag with FUCK CARNEY, FUCK GARY and FUCK NATHALIE on it and call the OPP non-emergency line and tell them they can come pick up some destroyed firearms.
They will never use my firearms in any propaganda whether it be as a statistic or as part of a photo.

Cut it up into tiny little pieces and send it one by one directly addressed to public safety? They can open a new letter each day containing 1 piece of a serial number.

I was up all night on Reddit when Russia invaded.
The government handed out surplus guns and ammo crates to citizens and straight out told people to build molotovs and chuck them at a Russian. The babusyas setting up molotov assembly lines was fuckin' badass.
All the guns banned here in the hands of civilians everywhere there, and it feels safer to stumble home drunk through the downtown of a city there than any in Canada.

Because they either have false hope that they are getting paid, or were successfully threatened into participating by the emails making it seem like you would be a criminal if you didn’t participate.

There was something like 120,000 registered AR15s, AR10s etc right? So total program has only received about a third of the ARs.
There are easily 10x that in NR prohibs.

We don't actually know what they are. For all you know there's 50,000 gsg16's and a handful of AR's in those declarations.

92,000 if i recall correctly. Thats just the AR-15s and they budgeted for what ? 136,000 guns TOTAL ? Easily the most arrogant thing I've seen the Gov. do in my lifetime. I run these numbers by Liberal relatives and it shuts up the Carney praise so fast. Kindov love that aspect of it.....

u/Feeling-Water-6824 Mar 26 '26
I have a restricted prohib. They know i have it. Oct is a long way off and I truly believe they will extend the amnesty. Thry are not telling us this because if they did, people wouldn't participate. Imagine the chaos come Nov 1st with probably a million lawful Canadians now criminals. They are going to do a roundup. They'll extend it.

u/rastamasta45 Mar 26 '26
I mean apparently retired and off duty RCMP officers are going to be deployed to confiscate all the guns. Even without the SCC there was going to be an extension. How many “off duty and retired” officers could there honestly be and with a national deployment. The stupidity of this is truly remarkable.

It's sad reading people say with pride that they would destroy their guns when the time comes rather than sending it to them. To me, destroying your gun is the same as sending it to them. You lose. There's no pride in it. If you are going to stand for it then stand for it at all cost. Otherwise you are just bending over for them. I wish Canadians had the guts to stand against tyranny like usa did when their country came to be.

If you’ve made a declaration and want to back out you can. Tracey Wilson posted this screenshot:
You can withdraw your consent from the program until firearms are collected. After collection, the application cannot be withdrawn and will be processed fully. To withdraw consent, contact the program's Contact Centre 1-833-759-4551. Upon receipt of your request, the application and consent to use the provided information will be considered withdrawn.

u/AutomaticCredit3191 Mar 28 '26
As much as I don't want to, it's hard to turn down the money. I have a bunch firearms that are on the list. The offer amount for them is pretty close to retail, so instead of having to normally deal with people if i were selling for example, i can get a decent price with no haggling. as much as i want to keep them, financially, it doesnt make sense (to me) to keep and deactivate the firearms for a small price, vs getting close to retail for turning them in. in either case, i cant enjoy them. no interest in deactivating and then hanging on the wall.

So, hats off to nobody, since the RCMP terminated the registrations on May 8 2020* and the AGC vigorously defended that termination in court cases across the country, and were successful?
* There are a few they forgot and terminated in January/February 2021 but the AGC still successfully argued that it was effectively terminated on the ban date.

What do we do on Oct 29? Call police to take it? Get ready to have a criminal record? CCFR could be more clear about it.

u/rastamasta45 Mar 27 '26
Unfortunately they can’t be because anything that is slightly off will result in them “promoting a crime”
The reality is it’s your choice to make and yours alone, CCFR was clear about this. You either call the police and hand it in. Have it deactivated, take your chances and do nothing or destroy it yourself and report it.
Only you can make the choice.

My 1943 M1 Carbine was banned. It’s registered and there is no way I’d participate in the confiscation.

I’ll destroy it myself or deactivate it if it comes to that but I’m not participating in this charade.

Such great Canadians in here talking about saving the Gov't money by destroying your firearms yourselves. How about quit mentioning your intentions and giving them a win?

u/canadianmohawk1 Mar 26 '26
Libs don't actually care about the guns being destroyed or collecting them because they know it has no impact on crime. The only thing they care about is optics, and destroying them ourselves, doesn't give them that.
And sure.. I'm glad you recognize that Conservatives do care about Canada and how it recklessly spends itself into ruin. You could say, that this is a sign that Conservatives are clearly better than Liberals because we will take on this expense personally, if we have to because it becomes law, in order to save others from having to pay for it. The same can not be said about Liberals.
TLDR; What you said is not the win you think it is.

Nathalie Provost, of the LPC, standing with Gary in the latest presser about this gun grab, mentioned, while practically begging gun owners to comply, how much Pierre's support, which she called misinformation, annoyed her. So I think she disagrees with you that they have said nothing. There are plenty of videos of conservative MPs grilling the government over this. Look at Dayne Lloyd grilling Gary Andandasangaree about the lack of evidence supporting their claim that this program helps reduce gun crime.
Just because you didnt see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. You have to look for it.
Google says;
"Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has pledged to reverse the federal Liberal "gun grab" (buyback program), labeling it a wasteful, multi-billion dollar policy that targets licensed hunters and sport shooters rather than criminals. He vows to focus on border security to stop illegal smuggling and to increase penalties for criminals. "
