Canada's Firearm Buyback: Confusion, Low Participation

Canadas firearm buyback program faces challenges: Low participation, provincial opt-outs, and legal hurdles. The federal government aims to compensate owners of over 2500 prohibited models, but only 32,000 declarations received as of Feb 20th. The minister expects more sign-ups as the deadline nears, with a $250 million fund available. The amnesty ends in 2026, with Alberta and Saskatchewan facing legal barriers.
