News / Politics / Activism Spoke to Sask cfo office regarding asfcp

To sum it up

  1. Sask doesn’t support , and will not contribute resources or tax dollars to the federal confiscation scheme .Unless the feds come up with a way to collect firearms in Sask, none will be collected and shipped out. 2. The Sask exemption program allows people affected by the ban to have their item given a fair value , and they have tasked a professional to do this valuation. When the amnesty ends , owners with the exemption don’t need to worry and can keep their guns.
    Owners are able to keep their property but basically not eligible for compensation unless the gov figures their shit out, and if that ever happens (unlikely) at least owners who are willing will have a document to say what their guns are worth at a fair price.

They , or at least the person I spoke to, share the sentiment of basically everyone on here. Most of this info is already public knowledge but it was a solid no in regard to participation in the program.

The consequence will be that you won't be able to renew your PAL and buy more guns or ammunition.

I wish Alberta would follow SK.

They have just said they won’t prosecute in AB, which is pretty grey honestly.

I prefer SK approach of “keep your guns legally until fairly compensated”.

Doesn't matter much now. The program is closed.
