News / Politics / Activism Firearms Buyback Declaration Reopens for businesses APRIL 23 2026 - What could this mean for the Makasi MK-15?

I hope this is not the case, however could this somewhat sudden extension of the buyback scheme for businesses be a way of allowing the government to add more semi auto sporting rifles such as the MK-15 and others to the list that were not present with the original list?

The MK-15 is not even in the hands of legal gun owners yet. So my concern is that they may try and sneak a ban in at the last second to steal them from stores before they even reach shelves. The deadline for the buyback extension for dealers is early June which would somewhat add up with when the Makasi MK-15 is supposed to land for pre order buyers.

Please let me know your guys thoughts on this, I hope I am just being paranoid.

Thanks!

 Why are they extending the buy back for businesses then?

Because Stage 1 of the business buyback is for May 2020 OIC guns. 2024/25 OIC guns are stage 2. Public Safety Canada literally announced this front and center on their website when stage 1 opened.

You are fear mongering with baseless information that have already been clearly communicated by Public Safety Canada. Stage 2 of the Business Buyback was planned and announced months in advance.
