Recurring Canadaguns Politics and Debate Thread

Please post all your Gun Politics or Ban-related ideas, questions, initiatives, comments, suggestions, news articles, and recommendations in this thread. This thread recurs every 14 days.

First and foremost, this is a Canadian Gun subreddit, so keep it at least decently related to both of those things.

This thread is not for general politics, there are plenty other subs that are meant for that. Off-topic threads may be removed, especially if they are leading to personal attacks, flame wars, etc.

To prevent the main sub being flooded with dozens of similar threads, text posts complaining about/asking about/chatting about gun politics will be sent here.

We understand that politics is a touchy subject, and at times things can get heated. A reminder of the subreddit rules, when commenting, where subreddit users are expected to abide.

Keep this Canadian gun politics related and polite. Off-topic stuff, flame wars, negative generalizations against groups, personal attacks and gate-keeping will be removed. Please flag any comments to bring to the attention of mods otherwise exercise your upvoting and downvoting ability.

Today is June 1st, approximately 62 days since the end of the declaration period, and only 152 days left in the amnesty period. Obviously the number of firearms actually collected remains at 22, thanks to the Cape Breton extremely successful pilot program. Seeing as how we have zero reported confirmed confiscation appointments, there is absolutely no way they can wrap this shitshow in the next 152 days.

We just got one in this thread. So I assume collection has started. Looks like they really are going to ram this through. Carney doesn’t care.

Yup… surprised we’ve heard nothing about it all. Mobile collection and destruction units…

They are probably just trying to get it done and over with. It’s all right I guess. I didn’t have much hopes for a OIC reversal any way. I am very sad with this country. Total indifference to the suffering of fellow Canadians and their businesses.
