The numbers for declared firearms has recently come out and bc has the most firearms declared per capita and Quebec numbers are surprisingly low, judging the whole point of this gun grab is to win votes in Quebec

That's because the majority of the banned firearms are in BC and AB, and to a slightly lesser degree in ON. I have an ATIP somewhere where Public Safety examined the number of registered impacted firearms per province, and IIRC, British Columbia and Alberta represented something like 60%, Ontario another 25%, and all the other provinces combined made up the remaining 15%.

Compounding this, Quebec's numbers are low because the existence of their provincial registry suppressed the adoption of exactly the guns that were banned.

Can confirm, know multiple people whose entire collection was literally all restricted minus a 10/22. Specimens like this rarely exist in the rest of the nation.
