has anybody received a callback for compensation when the website states to call in ie. $1

Please correct my math if I made any errors, and I will edit the post accordingly.

It's interesting to see which provinces have the culture that caved in the most.

Alberta

(7,334 ÷ 4,800,768) × 100,000 ≈ 152.8

British Columbia

(15,600 ÷ 5,646,467) × 100,000 ≈ 276.3

Manitoba

(2,442 ÷ 1,465,000) × 100,000 ≈ 166.7

New Brunswick

(1,150 ÷ 844,000) × 100,000 ≈ 136.3

Newfoundland and Labrador

(484 ÷ 545,000) × 100,000 ≈ 88.8

Northwest Territories

(81 ÷ 45,000) × 100,000 ≈ 180.0

Nova Scotia

(1,702 ÷ 1,079,000) × 100,000 ≈ 157.8

Nunavut

(9 ÷ 40,000) × 100,000 ≈ 22.5

Ontario

(27,487 ÷ 15,996,989) × 100,000 ≈ 171.8

Prince Edward Island

(170 ÷ 177,000) × 100,000 ≈ 96.0

Quebec

(9,801 ÷ 9,100,249) × 100,000 ≈ 107.7

Saskatchewan

(1,255 ÷ 1,240,000) × 100,000 ≈ 101.2

Yukon

(134 ÷ 47,000) × 100,000 ≈ 285.1

News / Politics / Activism Rash of Recent Police Actions Against Firearms/drugs/gangs

66 Upvotes

Is anyone else pissed off by all the recent news of police stopping firearm smuggling, illegal firearms, drug busts, etc.?

Liberals have been soft on crime for their entire modern existence, catch and release, embarrassingly short sentences, and so many other policies we've complained about for decades. Well now all of a sudden they're making busts left, right, and center.

After decades of campaigning on community safety, they know their asses are finally on the line and they have to produce objective data that shows their absolute farce of a "buyback" made even the smallest dent in gun crime.

So now they're going to do all the things we've begged them for for decades, cracking down on weapon smuggling. Then they're going to attribute that reduction in crime, (that anyone with 2 braincells to rub together has known the solution was curbing illegal firearms) to taking guns away from us "dangerous and unhinged" firearms owners. Then theyre going to use that data as the basis to take the next bite out of private firearm ownership.

They're going to manufacture the data they need, by taking the steps we all know needed to be done, only to blatantly and fraudulently misrepresent that data to attack us even further....

It's just so tiresome, and predictable... and the liberal voters of this country can't be trusted to look at anything with even a modicum of critical thought.

I might have missed the train on that one, but I just learned that Dlask Arms Corp. Closed around 6 months ago.

I red that it was because the owner was retiring, but I can't help it, it feels to me that the political climate might have helped it a bit...

They were my Go to business for high end Ruger custom 10/22 rifles. I built 3 so far using their components.

I saw there was only a few receivers left in stock where they now sell all their remaining inventory. Couldn't help myself and I grabbed one.

I wish the owner a nice retirement, even though I am sad of seeing another firearm store closing amidst this weird era.

Note: picture of two of my previous 10/22 builds. All lasers.

Probably not perfect flair but recent news tweaked my curiosity.

How long does a typical law-abiding owner take to make their weapon ready for use?

Or in other words, your weapon and ammunition are properly stored. You hear a noise or see something that makes you suspicious. How long does it take you to get to your gun safe, open it, and then assemble and load the firearm?

How much does that vary between your pistol, rifle, and shotgun?

There’s been a lot of discussion lately around Canada’s handgun freeze and how it affects licensed owners.

I put together a short petition and info page asking for a formal review of the policy and its real-world impact, mainly focused on effectiveness and long-term outcomes.

It’s not meant as a political statement, more as a way to structure the discussion around whether the policy should be periodically reviewed.

News / Politics / Activism Turn in Only the Serialized Receiver For Confiscation

1 Upvotes

Hey gang,

Regardless of what the firearm classification was before it became prohibited (restricted or non-restricted), can I ONLY turn in the hollow (without the trigger group, etc.) serialized lower receiver for deactivation/surrender, and keep the barrel, upper, and other furniture?

The easiest example I can come up with is the AR-style rifles with the upper and serialized lower receiver that easily detach from each other.

For the record, I don't plan on taking any action until the last possible minute, but I'd like to know the least I have to do when that time comes.

I appreciate the help!
