News / Politics / Activism The Logistics of Confiscation
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?

When the Government posts jobs for the confiscation program, I suggest we all apply. Those will be fairly well-paying jobs. It will be patriotic and show that you care about the rule of law and support the Government. Then, after you get the job, just be as stunningly incompetent as you possibly can. Mess up everything from start to finish. Mess up your hiring paperwork. Show up at the wrong places. Be as confused as you can at even the simplest directions. Don't let any training proceed uninterrupted; ask all the questions, misunderstand all the instructions, question everything. Absolutely fuck it up from start to finish to the point where you not only never actually confiscate a firearm, but you run the program into the dust. Join the union and fight your dismissal as hard and as long as possible. After you are let go, apply again. Weaponized incompetence will win and get you paid while doing it.
