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.

Any truth around the rumor that 1-800-Got Junk is the disposing “agency” for the firearm “buyback program”

I just saw this too, if true this should be another massive controversy, because they’re not licensed to handle firearms nor do they have a security clearance. This is a nightmare waiting to happen

I saw someone say in the comments of the CCFR post on Facebook that got junk was disposing of uncontrolled (ie not receiver, barrel or magazine) parts only. No idea if that’s true but it makes slightly more sense.

Mario of the north or whatever? He also said he heard carney was scrapping the confiscation back in like October. I’d take anything he says with a grain of salt
