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.

Have we had an update on confiscation numbers recently? Seems like news has been awfully quiet, guessing it's because it doesn't make them look good.

Where did you get this update? I’m curious where in Ontario they started and with what police force?

I got the update because they delivered the collection boxes to my door. I know that I will get flamed for turning them in but it was a logical decision for my situation. If anyone would like to dispute this, they are welcome to send me several tens of thousands of dollars and I'll gladly withdraw. It's quite sad for me since a few of them are unfired (delivered on tues. banned on thurs.), and my dream gun which I invested a lot in will be destroyed.

There is a lot of chest thumping in this sub but the reality is, a lot of guys with 20, 30+ restricted are not going to take the loss. There are some hardliners for sure but the more you have, the more compelling it becomes to turn them in

You put the guns in boxes that they ship to you via Canada Post then drive to a local RCMP office (did not know we had these in the GTA) and turn it in

They send you a box to put it in that you have to drive somewhere to and then they take it off you? What an absolute waste of money lol what’s the point of the box at all? Fuck, I can’t stand this government
