Misc Has anyone who has participated in the "buyback" received a payment yet?

I'm just curious and not really looking for a debate. Thank you

You’re right, there is no debate.

Don’t participate in this.

There were some guys on here from Nova Scotia who said they got paid after collection something like 2 weeks later.

Me in Ontario I told them I have 15 pink GSGs to hand in. Going to show up next week with some nerf guns to see how they react 😁

I didn’t know they even started sending drop off notices

u/DogeDoRight 10h ago

They have in New Brunswick.

Oh, that’s interesting. I was wondering if I’d get mine in Ontario demanding I drop them off when I’m out of the country on vacation.

Can you explain how the process worked? Were you given a specific time slot, or a day, or a week? Or something completely different?

u/JTrudeausLeftNut 10h ago

Ottawa has been running the drop off since June. Probably jsut regionally dependent.

The right answer here is not to participate in this horse shit, I literally own restricted guns. Man up, because by taking part in this you are telling the government you are fine with them taking your property.

The OP is some liberal stooge. He’s always posting pro liberal articles on the main Canada pages

Ya, I know you don’t support them on gun control but you still vote for and back them regardless. You’re a liberal stooge

Before the last election I hadn't voted Liberal since Chrétien but okay.

The guy that brought in bill c68? Not helping your case at all lol

What case? Am I on trial? LMAO

Some people are just too eager to make mommy provost and big Gary happy

u/ArisakaType99_ 10h ago

So true, what they also don’t realize is by taking part in this they are also screwing over everyone else

u/Lumindan 5h ago

All that happens is that they're giving public safety and the liberals further data points to use as justification in the future.

The government created this crabs in a bucket situation and seeing people invest into it is absolutely wild to me.

How about we actually fight back and try to get C21 reversed. I don't give a shit about my restricted staying in my safe collecting dust. I don't care about "moral" victories. I want to use my rifles on the range and the ability to buy and sell them for all PAL holders.

If I sell my restricted to the RCMP or not makes zero difference for our community. What matters is actually using them and enjoying them. For the record I have 4 restricted rifles.

u/boozefiend3000 6h ago

C21 isn’t getting reversed until there’s a conservative majority, and that’s not happening for awhile👎🏻

u/Lumindan 5h ago

If I sell my restricted to the RCMP or not makes zero difference for our community.

Well that's not necessarily true. If you comply with the program that just gives them more fodder to work with.

If compliance is horrendous, it's a win for ownership.

I hide my post history because some communities on Reddit are to left

u/DogeDoRight 7h ago

Why do you want to see my post history?

u/Cre_AK47 Name Prohibited by OIC 7h ago

1.4 million Karma in 3 years is insane. NGL

u/LordRaizer 7h ago

We're speaking with a full time redditor 👀

u/Cre_AK47 Name Prohibited by OIC 7h ago

Since I'm a mod, I can view their whole account. What's interesting to note is they don't even have the basement dweller nor grass toucher achievement... Me on the other hand... 😳

u/Nilotaus 7h ago

either this shit's exceptionally broken or I can only see your profile when logged out but not the sub mod list, and like, that's certainly a choice the reddit admins made.

Goddamn, the shit these chucklefucks get up to with their website make me want to start smoking.

3

u/Cre_AK47 Name Prohibited by OIC 6h ago

Reddit being Reddit probably. I otherwise should be visible and be seen on the r/canadaguns list of mods.

3

u/Nilotaus 5h ago

it appears that when first loading the page that I am logged out but can see post history with the mod list hidden, but it's vice-versa after refreshing the page

using old.reddit fwiw. have no desire to use the redesign.

1

u/DimensionSuch8188 5h ago

No way, I hide my post history to avoid power hungry mods/communities that lean to left for example from banning me for my posts on other subs Well TIL.

3

u/Cre_AK47 Name Prohibited by OIC 5h ago

Yeah it's useless in the context of hiding from mods. Still blocks it from 99% of people though! Mods can still see posts and comments to make sure accounts are not a bot, astroturfing, brigading, etc.

u/DogeDoRight 6h ago

People in this sub aren't very friendly.

-1

u/DogeDoRight 7h ago

99% of that is from posts I made while taking my morning shit.

u/LordRaizer 7h ago

You must take hours long shits then, my guy

u/DogeDoRight 7h ago

More like half an hour. I like to take my to time.

u/DogeDoRight 7h ago

All from the toilet lol

u/LordRaizer 7h ago

I need to make a sign or something

But there happens to be a trend where people with hidden post histories (larping as gun owners) complying with the buy back. For what purpose? Probably a psyop to encourage other people to do it as well.

Reddit is an overwhelmingly left wing echo chamber that does not represent reality, and I'm sure the horse police is aware of this sub as well. I would be surprised if this sub wasn't susceptible to to such a psyop

u/DogeDoRight 7h ago

I am a gun owner. You sound very paranoid.

u/LordRaizer 7h ago

Ah, the exception, not the rule

I hope you enjoy your 30 pieces of silver then

Let us all know how the boot tastes

-1

u/DimensionSuch8188 5h ago

I don't think you understand the definition of bootlicker. Bootlicking is supporting bad policing for example on the basis they are the police and authority and not being able to critique them at all.

In this case, most of us are law abiding citizens and will not destroy our lives, lose our jobs, get a criminal record, go to jail and etc for firearms. Reading some of your comments on here are absolutely insane and criminal entitlement.

2

u/LordRaizer 2h ago

Amazing, you describe bootlicking and then provide an example of yourself in the act of bootlicking

Also, how do expect the rest of us to react? Clap in approval that you lost your spine along the way? Of course we're going to dunk on you.

Also, another hidden post history, every single time.

u/DimensionSuch8188 5h ago

Agreed, it's funny seeing both people on the left and on the right blame bots when comments or ideas don't go the way of the majority of the group.

u/Lumindan 5h ago

Mass non compliance is the only correct move forward.

u/Far_Art5484 10h ago

Yes, in bc.

u/DogeDoRight 10h ago

How long did it take to receive the payment from the time the gun was dropped off?

u/Far_Art5484 10h ago

6 weeks.
