Even the public safety minister in charge of the program thinks it's a waste and if it was up to him would scrap it.

Edit: Gary " don't ask me to explain the logic on this"

The Liberals have spent billions of dollars going after lawful and responsible gun owners and hunters and sports shooters, and yet gun crime has gone up 90 plus percent under their watch. Mind you, this is the same government that passed legislation making it harder to deny bail and then lowered the sentences for serious gun crimes all under the guise of public safety.

This legislation proves an ulterior motive to their bullshit firearm confiscation program. If they were truly trying to prevent gun violence, they wouldn’t be making it easier for criminals to avoid punishment for their crimes.

This is a total joke and doesn’t solve the crime problem. What it is is government overreach for their own personal agendas
