  1. Just another Lieberal money laundering scheme. Tax dollars are just ending up in Lieberal coffers and the pockets of certain party members.

  2. Again mentioning “Canada’s deadliest mass shooting which left 22 dead” without mentioning nearly half were victims of arson, or that the killer was barred from owning firearms or that he was reported multiple times with nothing done about it. As Kate says you don’t hate the media enough.

  3. Giving up your guns takes you one step closer to the Gulag:

    “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
    ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

  4. To be fair, “buying back” something you never owned should get you jack.
    When the feds start making progress, that’s when we need to be worried.

  7. Small potatoes. We’ve sent billion$ to Ukraine and their lot is worse than 2 years ago. On the other hand, maybe some people became very wealthy.

    1. What we actually sent is considerably less than what we promised. For example, a long while back we promised air defense systems. Not only have we not yet provided them, but the Defense Minister has recently admitted that they are still haggling about contract details with the manufacturer who will presumably eventually build them. They are ragging the puck in hopes that somebody will end the war before they have to actually keep the promise.
      But in the government’s defense, they are possibly thinking about sending 9 mm Browning pistols from WW2 to Ukraine rather than to the recycling bin.

        “hey are possibly thinking about sending 9 mm Browning pistols from WW2 to Ukraine rather than to the recycling bin.”
        And what could the Ukrainians do with those, throw them in the air in hopes of a Russian M29 ingesting one and crashing?

      2. Gerry: “But in the government’s defense, they are possibly thinking about sending 9 mm Browning pistols from WW2 to Ukraine rather than to the recycling bin.”

        They should take all those Brownings and sell them to the Buy Back program.

        (DOH! I shouldn’t have said that. Someone in Ottawa will think it’s a great idea.)

  8. So where did the money go? Good lord in one week we find out the green slush fund money went poof and now this-at what point is it criminal?

  9. No arrests? Not even so much as a harsh letter of reprimand in someone’s file?

    I’m impressed. That is some first-class thievery.

  10. How can the government “buy back” that which they neither manufactured nor sold? It’s absurd.

  11. US citizen is curious about Canadian gun laws.

    In the US anyone without a felony conviction can make a gun. A functional gun can easily be made for $200, probably less. Indeed, gun maker Mark Serbu sells plans for a .22 pistol designed specifically to be turned in at a gun buy-back, and to earn a profit for the owner.

    Are such shenanigans available to Canadians?

    1. A few years ago I saw a video on a gun buyback in the US. A few guys went down a waiting line of cars offering to pay more than $200 for valuable guns. They also were trying to turn in some guns they bought for less than $200. They looked upon the insanity as an opportunity.

  12. 67.2 million spent and not one gun bought!!! Wow and the same government leader Justin told Brock in Edmonton that Canada couldn’t help our veterans because they couldn’t afford it——-In The Forsaken Warriors—-by Aaron Gunn!!!
    Trudeau has ruined Canada!

  13. Not one weapon turned in? Amazing. I can help them and become the first citizen to turn in a weapon; I have a Cooey shot gun from the late 19th century that was my grandfathers. Awww rats, perhaps it doesn’t qualify.

    1. Canuckguy NB, Hmmm, maybe you should first “assault” someone with that Cooey, then it might qualify.

      If you need suggestions, there’s a bunch of idiot poli’s in Ottawa that need assaulting PDQ!

      If you get caught, just say the gun made you do it……
