"Will Canada Attempt a Door-to-Door Gun Confiscation?" Topic

"Canada's federal government has been moving since 2020 to ban and then seize a vast array of mostly semi-automatic firearms. In March, Canada's federal Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program wrapped up its declaration phase with only about 67,000 guns turned in—compliance rates are estimated to be only in the single digits. The country's amnesty period for having one or more of these firearms runs until Oct. 30, 2026; after that, owners of any of the more than 2,500 newly prohibited models must surrender, deactivate or destroy their guns or face possible criminal charges. This is no "buyback." It is mandatory confiscation of legally owned property.

For a first-person account of what is going on in Canada, including what is being done to push back against this massive grab of Canadian's freedom, The Armed Citizen Podcast reached out to Blair Hagen, executive vice president of Canada's National Firearms Association.

Canada maybe, good luck trying to confiscate 500,000,000 weapons in the USA.

Speaking as someone with kids/nieces/cousins in Canadian law enforcement and as someone who works with the police on a pretty frequent basis, there is absolutely no chance of door-to-door gun confiscation – first of all, very little public support for this, second of all, no good legislative path and third of all, the police have their hands full with dealing with actual criminals – and the vast majority of Canadian gun crime is not long arm crime, it is hand gun crime – frequently with illegal small arms, often smuggled north of the border

Also there are 11,000,000 guns in Canada – and a grand total of 72,000 police, all in – that math does not work
