Before the "green slips" handguns had to be registered with the local police. The make, model and caliber of an owners restricted firearms were handwritten on a little white folding card that owners were supposed to carry with them when shooting or transporting their guns. This is before my time too but I've run into these cards a couple of times when helping families deal with estates.

If his gun was registered, you better believe the CBC would be running with that tidbit of information.

The fact that they won't release this info tells me it was an illegal possession.

The very first gun handed over to me was actually by the Bank Of Nova Scotia HQ in Toronto for disposal. From what I remember it was a snub nosed SW.38 cal revolver in nice shape.

Pierre said he would reverse the rifles and shotgun ban because they are not the guns causing the problems. Merry Xmas.

So I texted my Dad and he had a few different ones but remembers he did have a 38 revolver that held 6 shots and a 45 semi auto pistol that held 6 plus one in the chamber. he could not remember the makes.

My Dad did not actually like carrying a handgun for protection. He has nothing against them personally and has seen my pistols.
when he was first promoted to be a manger they handed him a gun and said he would need to carry this. He asked what if he did not want to carry one and was told that the gun was a must for the position.

So it sounds as if they will just push the fair compensation . As justin says you can buy other guns lol.

Where have we heard or seen this before?

"It's going to involve a number of critical stakeholders and partners, including law enforcement. But we're also working with other levels of government. We're working with industry leaders, we're working with potential third parties. So we are exploring all of these options."

They respect you so they will pay a fair compensation,no mention of sport shoots besides the beginning around the ar15 and mini ruger not the only sport guns.

"We respect law abiding gun owners, including hunters and farmers and Indigenous Peoples. And we will take a fair and equitable approach when it comes to compensating them for firearms which are ultimately determined to be prohibited under Bill C-21," he said.

As GW has said some guns the same guns but look different lol. Meaning looks kill not the gun. Same gun same caliber but kills less because because it's not dressed up.

There is debate over exactly what is included and what is not, because the definition applies only to some variations of certain models that actually meet the criteria — guns the government considers inappropriate for civilian use.

Just to buy the SKS back at FMV will cost 1/2 billion dollars for all guns if 100% were turned in, a rough guess 4 - 5 billion.
Imagine if the government put that money towards mental illness and smuggling. But in all honesty the Liberal government has zero interest in stopping criminals I would go as far as stating they encourage it.

I'm sure the stakeholders will donate to the cause others have a charitable donation recipe. http://guncontrol.ca/donate-now/

What's funny is they talk about preventing suicide while the government killed off 3.3% of all deaths in 2021 with maids.

I thought the government was to help prevent suicide not promote it to save money lol.
3.2 MAID Deaths as a Proportion of Overall "Deaths in Canada
MAID deaths accounted for 3.3% of all deaths in Canada in 2021"
https://www.canada.ca/en/health-cana...port-2021.html

This is how they fix the mental health issues .

"federal government’s intention to extend MAiD eligibility to people whose sole medical condition is mental illness" This is on pause but what they want new deals to be made this year.

Maybe all the money they save will go towards the buyback program.

Apparently not a fan of maid?
In the right circumstances I’m all for it and glad I’ll have the option. Only need to watch one person with an incurable disease suffer for months to be in favour of it

It’s a far cry different than some teenager committing suicide due to some social media harassment

As for the buy back I will be shocked if anyone ever gets a penny. You might get a tax credit at best. So nice of them to pay you back some of your money for giving them your personal property

Oh ya I forgot when suicide was illegal no one broke the law.
