After they pay you for your ar. Your x95 will go on a ban list too.

beat me to it...

They are doing a great job keeping them locked up in people's homes and off of ranges or crown land in the case of the banned NRs

And even locking up more. Dragging my renewal, applied for before expiry, around 6 months now. Happy to tell me to keep everything locked up until they get to it. You know, hunting season has them busy, they say.

I would love to see the data on how many people were killed in Canada with legal firearms named in the reclassification list in the 18 months before the list and the 18 months since the list.

Willing to bet all my marbles that the number for both is zero after you subtract fatal shootings by law enforcement.

damn! was hoping to use my buyback money to buy more guns i can actually use.
I don't even care about my AR15 anymore, my X95 is my new love

With that attitude you are going to be happy when all you are allowed to own is a slingshot with a limit on the amount of rocks you can carry.

It will be on the ban list for Oct 30, 2023.

What will the new conservative leader candidates have to say about the OP?

Mr. Charest?
Mr. Brown?
Mr. Kenney? Maybe...Just Sayin.

Edit: And Carney, the new Liberal Leader.

Is there a reliable source of information available that gives the actual number of AR=15s already turned in due to the OIC ban? I suspect it's a low number, but I would like to know. As for extending the amnesty period, I have no doubt this is due to the political support the Liberals gain or maintain by keeping the issue of gun control up front when they call their supporters for donations.

I hope they keep IBM in charge of the confiscation scheme. They will milk the gov for all its worth and still not have anything working after years of tinkering (think Phoenix payment systems).

I don't see them doing that well this time, 7 years in power means no conservative to blame your fiscal mismanagement on.

IMHO this is less about having more time to add more guns (which can be done through the OIC at any point in time) and more about them lacking the infrastructure to successfully deploy the buyback. I doubt there will be another election. The LPC probably learned from the last time that just enough people will be annoyed with a snap election to prevent a LPC majority. He'd win, but there would be no point.
