Misc Moving to USA - Options on Handguns

We are moving to the USA and I have filed a atf form 6 to bring most of my firearms. They accepted most but two hand guns and the AR and one Winchester SXP of all things! What are my options I obviously don’t want to turn them in. Is there a way to sell those handguns in Canada before we go?

That's the way to go. So sick of these posts from people about moving from the US to Canada or from Canada to some European country with insane license levels, asking about how they can acquire/keep their ar15 lol. If you move and want more firearm rights/freedoms, moving to a gun friendly American state like Florida is the only option. I saw this one post about moving from Canada to France because they were disillusioned with Canadian gun restrictions and then all the comments were about the lengthy hoops he had to jump through to get a semi in France.

Hoops there might be, but now I suggest you compare how hard it is to get an AR in France vs here. Or, you know, most semis in general.

It’s been years in the making. Things have just changed here so much since I moved back to Canada in 2012. Came back young. Started a family and now it’s time to go back. We are heading to Florida and I’m so excited about the opportunity for more firearm freedoms.

You are obviously talking about my post in https://www.reddit.com/r/EuropeGuns/. Firearms are actually not the main reason for the move. Our terrible healthcare system is, family member dying here waiting for treatment, they can get surgery in 4-6 weeks in France. Aslo, France has legal suppresors with no permit, handguns, AK's, AR's, 30 round magazines and more. Definitely more hoops then Canada circa 2015 but still better in someways (I.E mags, suppresors and AK's). Canada today is done for gun owners, maybe we get grandfathered post supreme court but this passion is dead here in 10 years tops if nothing changes in a massive way. Oh and French conservative party is leading in the polls, can only get better in France. Not to mention I can live in Poland or CZ down the road if I want as an EU citizen. Good luck moving to the U.S without 1 million $+ or a specialized trade or skill...
