Application / Regulation advice Saskatchewan Firearms Appraisal App

The Saskatchewan Firearms Appraisal and Verification App to receive a certificate of exemption has launched.

Will be interesting to see how well this works / doesn't work out in the end.

I'm surprised Alberta is lagging so far behind Sask, I wish we got out shit together on this topic. Some provincial licensing or something.

Alberta government doesn't actually care about Albertans because they will the vote them in regardless of what they do or dont do.

You could make that same argument in Saskatchewan, as well then if you wanted?

u/DwayneGretzky306 May 04 '26

Yes you definitely could. Some people certainly agree. So far firearms ownership has been a bipartisan (from a Government and Opposition perspective) and we were the first to have this support from our Government.

Thankfully our Premier doesnt flirt with Separatists though.

Are you supposed to ignore a large portion of your voter base?

Until there is anything resembling a legal mandate or at the very least they campaigned openly on this and won, then yes, a provincial government should ignore this.

Edit: and if petition numbers are correct at 6% of population, even a basic understanding of math should say that is not a large portion of their voters.

Large portion of your voter base

I hope you’re not taking about the separatists, because they’re not a large portion and are fucking idiots.

Whether you like them or not they are a significant portion. I dont agree with it either. But facts are facts whether you like facts or not

I don’t think you know what significant portion means. The Canada forever petition got almost double them.

I would define 5% of the population as signifcant and I believe there has been more than 5% of the population to sign for independence. And I wouldnt doubt for a second the canada forever petition got more. Im not saying I agree with the independent movement

Imagine the federal government pursued firearm bans with the logic that 5% is significant. We'd be having this discussion on an airgun forum if we were lucky.

u/FedInformant May 04 '26

They are pursuing a firearm with far less than 5%.

Look at how they pursued covid restrictions when less than 1% of the population were at risk. Lol.

If you were correct we wouldn't be in this mess.
