TheGunBlog.ca — Canada’s Liberal Party-led administration said today that gun owners targeted by its mass confiscation fantasy will soon be able to register the goods they want seized and destroyed, possibly without compensation.
Unworkable, Unenforceable
The Liberals published a statement and hosted a “technical briefing” for media including TheGunBlog.ca. They were unable to provide any specifics on their failing confiscation effort.
- They couldn’t say how they will enforce the seizures, given that they don’t know who owns most of the rifles and shotguns they want to confiscate. (The so-called “Non-Restricted” models.)
- They couldn’t say how they will enforce seizures that owners oppose.
- They couldn’t say how they will execute a program that most provinces oppose.
- They couldn’t say how they will execute a program that most police oppose.
- They couldn’t say if confiscation agents will visit homes, or if/when police will be involved.
- They reiterated their idea of “mobile-collection units,” without more details.
- They couldn’t provide a timeline for payment in case anyone does actually get paid.
Confiscation Without Compensation
The Liberals did confirm that you might be denied compensation, even if you register your firearms for confiscation and destruction by the new deadline of March 31.
“Please note that submitting a declaration does not guarantee you will receive compensation,” they say on several of the new webpages for the crackdown. The bold text is in the original.
Last year, the Liberals broke their promise to offer payment to everyone who participated. They expect a maximum of 136,000 gun owners to opt-in, far below industry estimates of the number of affected owners.
Most Provinces Oppose Confiscation
- Quebec is the only province that publicly supports the attacks unleashed by the Liberals in May 2020.
- Winnipeg, Halifax, and Cape Breton are the only municipalities that have said they support the seizures against government-licensed firearm owners.
- Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Yukon have said they won’t participate, or are actively working to block the crackdown.
No Surrender
TheGunBlog.ca isn’t aware of any individual who intends to surrender their gear, and is aware of many who intend to keep their gear.
It doesn’t matter at this point, because thankfully, the confiscation program is still only a confiscation fantasy.
So I see that America does not have a corner on having some real idiots in their Ruling Class! But I REALLY feel sorry for the average Canadian. As I seen myself, they are a really decent bunch of folks and some GREAT Allies! Grumpy

As a Canadian here is my take on it.
1) Even in the cities supporting it the police want nothing to do with what is likely to end poorly.
2) The event that started this illegal seizure was a mass shooting by a known criminal and rcmp informant. Who happened to have guns he couldnt own legally, while wearing a rcmp uniform and driving an actual rcmp cruiser.
3) first nations guns are exempt if kept on rez, even though thats were the vast majority of gun murders occur.
4) the feds tried to hire people to go door to door to seize guns. Not many people were that dumb to apply.
5) the liberal party keeps suggesting they may bring in foreign troops to help with confiscation. Nothing will unite people faster than the feds bringing in Hussein mercenaries to slaughter citizens. The US is also unlikely to be happy about Chinese troops armed on their border slaughtering Canadian’s by the box car load. Also citizens will be less likely to go along with confiscation if its Canadians doing it.
MY GOD!! You poor folks up there! Now I knew that things were messed up but Jeez! WTF happened!?!
Now I know that this might upset a few folks but you do know that we are always looking for Good Folks to come join our party. Right?
