I’d imagine they are now actually trying to plan how to collect the rifles.
Let’s look at the numbers.
Apparently declarations will be reviewed till May. From May to October they need to collect 370 guns every single day without weekend or holidays to make it before the amnesty.
That’s 15 rifles collected every hour without a break.
It takes about 20 minutes to verify and secure a rifle according to TPS. This comes out to 22,333 man hours of labour or 930 days of man hours of labour.
There is 182 days before amnesty expires.
These labour hours do not include transpiration to and from said firearm.
According to the Federal police association, they haven’t even been informed what vehicles they will be using or if they’re even obtained yet.
According to Gemini Public Safety Canada needs about 250 to 400 full time trained staff for the next 6 months working on this to pull it off. These individuals will have to be located or deployed across Canada, which means food and lodging needs to be covered.
Considering they’ve already blown the budget, not sure how they will pay these people.
Public Safety Canada needs to recruit up to 400 retired or odd duty officers, provided up to 60 to 100 full time vans operating full time. Public safety Canada would have to fuel up the van when gas is expected explode this spring / summer.
I’m legitimately wondering….what is going on in their minds when thinking about this task?
Or perhaps they’ll approve Quebec only, decline everyone else and tell them pound sand say they succeeded?
What’s everyone’s thoughts?

I’ve been saying since the beginning, they have no intention of taking the guns away. Just dragging this shit out as long as they can to use as wedge issues in an election.
They’re trying to get the CPC to put forth policy that reverses this, so they can say “look at the death machines those right wing extremists want to give to people!!!”
