While that might be true, it probably has to do with number of disposal income for those 2 provinces.
If you have a collection and some have restricted, people might want to get rid of it so the Fed don't come for their licenses after Oct and still holding on their NR. While it might not look good for BC, but the total number is still less than what we anticipated.
I doubt the government will publish a number of NR vs R they collected, because that will have a better context here.
I have 4 restricted that worth 10k alone, and I choose not to do anything with it. That kind of money is not someone can easily give up since that easy 3 months of rent and groceries in BC.
Yeah I have one on the list and I'll be taking a zipcut to it instead of handing it in. Some of my coworkers did register wanting some money to put towards other guns etc but I doubt they will see a dime if it ever gets to the day they hand them over.
In all fairness the only reason I'd surrender my one NR that's now prohibited is because of the money I have in other firearms that would suck to lose if my license was revoked etc.
My one PCC is a drop in the bucket in value compared to two of my shotguns alone.
Hey man, I don’t think BC owes anyone an apology. It’s wrong to banned lawfully owned firearms but you can’t blame people for reducing the financial damage infected by the government itself.
I agree with you. Not all of us are fortunate enough to afford sitting on thousands of dollars worth of paper weights.
