Stupidity of ASFCP and Public Safety

[u/sushicake1]

I know I'm gonna get hate for this, but I signed up to turn my rifle in. I haven't shot it in many years even prior to the "buyback" and was already thinking about selling it before the stupid Liberals decided to think all black guns were scary.

Now I have a newborn on the way now so might as well sell it and spend that money on diapers and baby stuff. The price they offered wasn't far from what I was going to sell it for anyways.

But my main grievance is that I followed all the steps and signed up before any deadlines for the compensation program. Tried to setup an appointment weeks in advance of my areas collection. But when I go to setup an appointment the stupid website won't allow me to book an actual appointment saying something along the lines of "the number of firearms I have exceeds the amount they can process at a single time" or something like that. But I only have the one firearm... Hell they even mailed me the box.

So I called the hotline to ask what was going on, and their answer is "public safety will call you within 10 business days" that was over a month and a half ago. My collection period has come and gone and has moved almost 2 hours away from my house now.

What options do I have now?

EDIT/UPDATE: Just got off the phone with the Hotline, apparently public safety decided to move my collection location a little bit closer to my house. Still about an hour and a half drive, I spoke with them on the phone last time on September 1st and they stated that public safety would email me or call me. But apparently 3 hours later they decided to just change my location without notifying me. So here I am a week later still expecting a call or email, just to find out my location changed and I try to setup an appointment and of course there's no slots available...

You’d think if they wanted to screw you over they’d make it easier.
