Can a government ‘buyback’ get these guns out of Canadians’ hands?

I am sure your right, they have limited use of the guns and when they are out of the home are liable to be checked ie hunting and then possibly charged.

Yep.... another long gun registry, tie that in with C-71 where they are now tracking buyers and sellers.... well, Lie, Repeat and lie and repeat, Trudeau and LIbErals use fear and lies on many things but Bill "never met a truth I liked" Blair and Justlied Trudeau excel at it on firearms

They would be better to switch their vote to the Conservatives. The Conservative are great at making improvements to what Liberals governments have initiated. At least they keep insisting that they can do better. Personally I have a preference to park my vote with a party that is prepared to do something entirely different, as oppose to a party that simply offers improvements upon bad legislation, which another party has already put in place.. . .

These "thousands of people" who own guns without a PAL are probably not using them much if at all unless they are acquiring ammunition illegally.

I am sure there are lots of old farmers who never got a PAL still own guns and do not leave the farm, but still use them. The enforcement across the land is very uneven.

Owners of prohibited firearms can keep them legally if they register them and upgrade their storage. The firearms can't be used, can't be sold and can't be bequeathed. The real dupes are the ones who keep something that is worthless in every respect when the government would have given them money for it.

The owners who keep them illegally can take their chances of becoming the next Bruce Montague. He's a convicted criminal who lost his business, his guns and almost his family home when caught with illegal firearms.

Wads of cash!!?? I sure hope you do not consider $1,300 'wads of cash' because that was the last number I heard. For $1,300 you can have the optics and the accessories off my AR but not the gun itself.

I'll keep my guns thank you very much - I cannot be bought with my own money.

Not that I am supporting this.......but the Liberals are not the only criminal organization looking to buy guns. If you had a non-restricted Beretta Storm (9mm) that is now banned I am sure the street value is far more than the $1,300 the other criminal organization is offering us for it. Maybe sweeten the seal with a couple hundred rounds of 9MM FMJ?

If you treat people like criminals they will start to act like criminals

If gun owners act like criminals they'll be treated like criminals. It's a bit unwise to be even musing about selling a prohibited firearm and ammunition to gang bangers on a public web forum. Any gun owner who actually did it deserves a nice long stretch inside.
