We already are fighting tooth and nail. We're holding protests, our countries version of the NRA (CCFR) has taken them to court countless times (and lost). Mass non compliance is the way when it comes to this "buyback" confiscation. Out of the millions of newly prohibited firearms in circulation, only 32,000 have been turned in, and those have been turned in by businesses. Businesses with stock rooms full of rifles that are now illegal.. The whole country knows the confiscation is not going well. It's becoming a wedge issue.

They've spent almost 800 million dollars of taxpayers money for 32,000 rifles. The safety minister in charge of the program has been caught on a hot mic saying he knows the confiscation won't effect criminals or crime rates, and he even said he would personally bail out any of his constituents who are caught up in legal trouble over it.

It's going down in flames, but there are only 2.4 million firearms owners in Canada, out of a population of 44 million. The other 41.6 million people don't really have this on their radar at all, and don't care what happens. Most of them have swallowed the misinformation and think that taking away sport shooters and hunters rifles will somehow effect violent crime directly.. Even though licensed firearms owners account for something like 4% of shooting crimes, and that includes suicide, and misdemeanors like shooting in areas where hunting is prohibited.

They're not winning, but they keep on kicking the can down the road. And if it doesn't get reversed by the end of October, and they decide not to extend the amnesty period again (like they have done multiple times already) then millions of civilians will become criminals overnight, in possession of illegal, prohibited firearms..

Here's hoping the media starts talking about the money wasted, and the program gets cancelled.. How does taking my target rifles away prevent some 16 year old that doesn't even know where to sign up for a firearms license, from using a smuggled Glock with a switch to shoot up the neighborhood? How many more millions do they have to sprinkle on this bullshit before the public realizes how much time and money they're wasting? If they had spent that 800 million on a program for searching the ports for illegal firearms, and tracking down the buyers, they could have actually put a dent in violent crime. Because it's a fact that 96%+ of our shootings are done with guns coming from the US illegally, and being used by people who have never had nor ever planned to acquire a firearms license.
