ASFCP: new page showing collection schedule by province; AB and SK excluded

From the beginning, the "ASFCP" has included two ominous footnotes alluding to how they're going to violate gun owners that declare their property.

- "Compensation is not guaranteed"

And, should you reside in AB or SK

- "Individuals who live in Alberta or Saskatchewan should consult their provincial government for laws or regulations put in place that may impede or limit their participation in the program."

Now, we know there is a licensing scheme for potential private collection agents in the Alberta legislation. I have not looked into SK.

Should you contact the AB CFO, you will learn the Federal government has not applied for any confiscation agent licensing.

So, the very obvious indication here is that they intend to wash their hands of responsibility in these two provinces and leave any owners who declared property to face the end of the amnesty with no option but to deactivate or surrender their property.

Absolutely shameful how this program has been handled.

Mass non compliance is the only way.

Could be the dumbest comment on tic tok…..and that’s saying something.

lol…..you guys don’t think mass non- compliance is exactly what the liberals want ?? At the end of the amnesty, the Government will suspend all licenses and brand us criminals.

The only way to prevent it, is to put so much pressure on provincial leaders…..they interfere on our behalf. Looks Like that is what is happening amongst many provinces.

The clock is ticking and just waiting for the deadline like nothing will happen afterwards, just makes us look like fools.

Are you lost? Did you just comment to fear monger?

The government will never end the program because then they'd lose the shield they have on public safety. They need to keep the show running and they don't have a method to track or collect. What you're saying is the government is willing to criminalize hundreds of thousands of people overnight. Absolutely out to lunch take.

How do you think it got there in the first place? Mass non-compliance is part of it because it shows how wasteful the program is and taxes the police bodies that have to answer to the province.

You're young and naive or here with a bad faith argument. We've seen how this has gone before, some us lived through the long gun registry. Same threats, same fear monger.

Mass non-compliance the only way forward until a different government comes into power.

I've seen bad takes on this sub, but man you should put a /s at the end of yours because yikes.

Mass non compliance literally worked for the long gun registry
