And what if somebody doesn't want to do [participate in the buy-back program]?
What we've done in the legislation is really create the set of circumstances and conditions that will facilitate the buy-back.
We are eliminating all legal use of these prohibited firearms. They can't be legally discharged. You can't fire them. You can't take them hunting or to a range. They can't sell them or transport them. They can't bequeath them or trade them in any way. They will be required to store them in a very secure safe or vault.
I think the vast majority of people who bought these guns to use as firearms, now that there is no legal way to do that, they'll be highly incentivized to surrender them for destruction, and then we'll have a fair compensation program available to them.

I really don’t understand why the words ...
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed “
Is so damn hard to understand.
Asking someone to show a photo ID to vote is an unreasonable burden but any burden placed on gun ownership is just fine...
Bite me.

So, if you shoot someone breaking into your home with gun deemed to be an assault weapon, you go to prison and the guy breaking in sues you for shooting him with a weapon you are not supposed to fire.
Yeah, sounds like a dumb liberal idea.

The op specifically says to take note of the tactics being used.
I can’t speak for the op but I believe he’s warning that the tactics being used in Canada could be used in the states.

I already have to keep my long guns locked up with the ammo locked in a separate place. Which I do.
Handguns to be locked up with a trigger lock on them at all times and ammo locked in a separate place. Which I do.
I have to carry my PAL card and crappy paper conditions card with me at all times if I am using, transporting, or purchasing firearms or ammunition. Which I do.
My pistols have to be transported in a locked case with trigger locks on them and ammo locked up separately. Which I do.
I must transport them directly from my home to the range and back home again. Which I do.
Every 5 years I need to renew my papers, at a cost and subject to a background check. Which I do.
My wife’s receives a call from the firearms officer after they receive my application to ask her to confirm if I am fit to own a firearm. Which she does.
In order to own the handguns I must retain membership at an approved range. Which I do.
Apparently this is not enough to convince Justin that I am a responsible person and law abiding citizen.
The Left pushes for all of these controls because they believe that everyone thinks and acts like they do. An armed citizen that they believe is full of hate and vengefulness scares the sh!t out of them!

Ambiguous definitions, banning toy guns, and other nonsense? I think they have tried this before but not in combinations like this.
I was under the impression that all newer toy guns had to bave orange on the end of the barrel or it that just a US thing?
Thanks for the additional information.
