That would be a good question to ask yourself just before you enter the bullpen of the local jail should you decide to take the challenge and keep you illegal guns, get caught and convicted.
Small price to pay maybe no price at all or a small inconvenience lol.
What happens when a gangster gets caught with an illegal weapon. They don't even have a license and most released the next day many don't stick and many do little to no time and they are thugs.
What's wrong with keeping them if you are aloud to keep it? If they can't buy it back from you surly you have the right to keep it in your home without an issue.
Now take it over to a friend's place and they might have an issue. But to keep it in your home you wouldn't be breaking any law. Or else it would be mandatory.

By all accounts you can keep it in your home if you register it and meet higher standards of storage than for a non-restricted. You can't use it, sell it or bequeath it so once you're gone so's the gun. Perhaps if you choose cremation your next-of-kin can get a two-for-one discount and you and your gun can go into the furnace together.
Once had a Liberal tell me they thought most criminals would turn their guns in if it was illegal.
Personally I doubt if many will be turned in. Liberals will not stay in power for ever. The next time the Conservatives get in they should tear down everything he did.
Chance are these guns will be legal again the future. I see a few new types have already come on the market.

Canadians favour stricter gun control, mandatory buyback of banned firearms: Poll
Quote:
OTTAWA — A new poll suggests two-thirds of Canadians favour stricter gun-control laws — and more than half believe that should include a mandatory buyback program for prohibited firearms.
The poll, conducted by Leger and the Association for Canadian Studies, was conducted March 26-28, amid controversy over the federal Liberal government's latest gun legislation.
Bill C-21 proposes a buyback of many recently banned firearms that the government deems to be assault-style weapons, but owners would be allowed to keep them under strict conditions, including that they be registered and securely stored.
Fifty-two per cent of poll respondents said the buyback program should be mandatory, with the threat of fines for gun owners who don't participate — in line with what a leading gun-control group, PolySeSouvient, advocates.
Sixty-six per cent said there should be stricter gun-control regulations in general.
