News / Politics / Activism Door-to-door?

https://youtu.be/DxJEGIiao1k?si=QFMHMnr3XEUSEfsP

Mr. Anasangaree is once again tap dancing when it comes to answering questions about the confiscation program.

He doesn't accept Mr. Lloyd's figures regarding the 2% participation rate, and obfuscates with current participation figures that are supposedly meant to inspire confidence in the program.

According to the Public Safety Minister, police will NOT be going door-to-door to collect prohibited and illegal firearms. Seemingly millions of Canadians will be criminals, in possession of these "weapons of war", but the Public Minister suggests local police services will enforce the law with no specifics.

Additionally, Mr. Anasangaree adds empty rhetoric regarding the effects on crime this program will have, citing the mass casualty report that followed the Portapique shootings which were committed by an unlicensed criminal known to police, with illegal firearms.

Enjoy!

Reading between the bickering of two people who leave shit intentionally ambiguous in an attempt to trip eachother up for soundbites, what I gather from this conversation is this.

No we will not be going door to door to collect your undeclared firearms.

Yes we will ask off duty RCMP and retired LEO's to collect declared firearms at mobile firearm collection points set up within cities

No we have no plan on what to do about non declared firearms other than to pull the PAL's of those who have failed to cooperate with restricteds and hope to catch the non restricted owners later, eventually. By that time I plan to be a retired MP on a beach in the south of France.

I don't think this is an accurate read. He doesn't refer to what will happen after the amnesty period ends, just reiterates that the current compensation program is not a door to door program.
