Now comes the insane part, how they hell do they plan to collect and move 67,000 rifles in 6 months using only Quebec police, Waterloo police, Halifax police and Vancouver. Everyone else declined.

The biggest cities in Quebec have their own police, and some cities already said they won't pay for this. If the government want them to collect, it will be overtime pay and will have to be paid by the federal government or nothing will be done. Not budgeted in the city budget to do this.

I saw the local police in Quebec opting out, will be interesting to see how that shapes up

Opted out as there is no legislation currently to force them to collect. All optics and likely pre-planned.

"Us police are on your side"

"The government made an new policy and so we have to come get them."

Keeps the police from looking like WWII Germany.

Lol "pre planned". I promise the goverment plans the same for the buy back as everything else.

There is no optics based greater conspiracy

Dw that’s only 372 firearms collected every single day until then.. pffffttt that’s easy for an underfunded and under resourced program🤡

u/buttercastle69 Apr 06 '26

I imagine they will expect the people who registered to drop the firearms off somewhere.

u/xpingux Apr 06 '26

Waterloo police explicitly said they'll provide an area where guns can be dropped off and nothing more.

It might get wild, I expect a tattle hotline and people might want to scrub their phone or social media or anything firearm related but that's just me and the pandemic memories.

I think you’re honestly right

Considering the liberals have a majority and they not only want to disarming people but bring in censorship laws rhat would see people jailed for speech like the UK is doing I'd say we're pretty fucking screwed. Canada is gone completely gone. My grandfather is killing I his grave the enemy controls the gates he was part of the devils brigade in ww2 and now a Canadian government is just as bad as the one he fought

Waterloo Regional Police are in unfortunately. So they're probably coming for my previously restricted rifles.

u/Strange-Toe2038 Apr 06 '26

If you signed up for this shitshow...

u/adrenalineJ92 Apr 06 '26

They’d still know what we have regardless because it’s restricted.

u/saneboy Apr 06 '26

Yeah, that's the problem.

u/mwmwmwmwmmdw Apr 07 '26

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '26

They'd only know what you had 6 years ago if you didn't tell them.

u/nitrousnitrous-ghali Apr 07 '26

Did you miss the restricted part? You tell them when you get it, no choice in the matter

u/goodfleance Apr 06 '26

Don't need to sign up, restricteds are already registered

u/GhostProtocolGaming Apr 06 '26

They said they were goong to use retired police and other government employees to do it

u/mywaaaaife Apr 06 '26

u/rastamasta45 Apr 06 '26

From what I read last, yeah they said they were in.

I think nothing, is the answer. At least at first. This is a miserable political albatross hung around the neck of Carney and others by a departing leader and his retainers. Everybody wants this to go to sleep for awhile. And the Supremes have sort of frozen everything until they decide the case.

Where it might come in to play is as an add-on charge if a person is caught for/convicted of something else: you’re arrested for beating up a guy in a drunken bar fight, police obtain a search warrant on info of a possible extra risk for violence because you may be holding a prohib weapon, and then an additional charge of possessing a prohibited firearm is added on.

u/a_guy_in_ottawa Apr 07 '26

Why would the police be expected to collect them? I would assume the onus is on the people who registered to drop them off.

u/WestEasterner Apr 06 '26

It won't be as difficult as it sounds.

If you are one of the people who declared, your police service CANNOT decline to receive it. They may not be taking up the cause and facilitating the collection, but if a member of the public attends, police cannot turn them away.
