Today, licensed gun owners across Canada received emails warning them to surrender legally owned firearms or face criminal prosecution.

Would make me want to sign that independence petition. Great timing, Carney Feds!

MARRIOTT: Alberta independence — why every attack from Central Canada is adding thousands to the 'Yes' vote

It is hard to understand why denigrating Albertans and their aspirations is a good strategy to quell independence. Of course, the perpetrators’ lack of self-awareness is a part of the problem in the first place. When in doubt, try “Let them eat cake” to solve the problem of a guy with a guillotine.

The long-term political arithmetic in independence weighs heavily in favour of “Yes.” Simply stated, anyone who is there now will not likely change to “No.” Whereas there are oodles of soft “Yes” who might be persuaded either by rational argument or by political enemies clearly losing their minds.

For context, let’s remember the last big provincial referendum.

In October of 2021, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney ran a referendum on equalization. It was a hard-line question: “Should Section 36(2) of the Constitution Act, 1982, which commits the federal government to make equalization payments, be removed from the Constitution?” With 62% who voted “Yes.” Nothing happened.

A softer question, such as “Should the government of Alberta initiate discussions with the federal government on equalization reform?” Or “Should the Alberta government propose an amendment to the equalization formula to include Quebec’s hydroelectric wealth, the same as Alberta’s oil wealth?” would have likely received 100% support.

Full email below for those curious. Government is playing chicken with gun owners waiting to see how many turn in or deactivate their guns before the amnesty period ends. My gut feeling tells me however that they are not extending the amnesty period; Provost being an MP is a major reason why.

REMINDER NOTICE TO INDIVIDUAL FIREARMS OWNERS
REGARDING THE ASSAULT-STYLE FIREARMS COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Further to the previous notification sent in January regarding the launch of the Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program (ASFCP) for individuals, this notice serves as a reminder that the declaration period for the ASFCP will close on March 31, 2026.

As of February 20, 2026 over 32,000 firearms have been successfully declared, from every province and territory in Canada. More information can be found at: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-safety-canada/campaigns/firearms-buyback.html

If you wish to check to see if you own an affected prohibited firearm, please search the list of 2,500 makes and models at the above web site.

If you do not own one of these firearms, you do not need to do anything more, and may disregard the following.

If you do own a prohibited firearm, and you have already successfully submitted your declaration, thank you. Following the end of the declaration period on March 31, 2026, further information regarding collection will become available.

ASFCP DECLARATION PHASE: JANUARY 19, 2026 – MARCH 31, 2026

If you do own an affected prohibited firearm, thank you for your continued commitment to safe firearms practices and compliance with all firearms rules and regulations.

If you wish to be compensated for your firearm(s), please complete a declaration by visiting: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-safety-canada/campaigns/firearms-buyback.html

Your declaration must be submitted by March 31, 2026.

Declarations will NOT be accepted after this date.

Please contact the ASFCP Contact Centre at 1-833-759-4551 should you need assistance, require a paper declaration to apply by mail, or wish to receive information in Indigenous languages (Mohawk, Anishinaabe (Ojibwe), Inuktut (South Baffin), Cree, Algonquin, Dene, or Mi’kmaq).

ASFCP COLLECTION & COMPENSATION PHASE: APRIL1, 2026 – OCTOBER 30, 2026

To ensure efficient collection and compensation to each participant, Public Safety Canada is working closely with police services and other partners to make sure the ASFCP runs smoothly and supports public safety.

Firearms will be collected through various regional options such as: a) mobile collection units, b) drop-off at RCMP detachments, or c) via local police who are participating in the ASFCP. Precise collection information will be directly provided to each participant at a future date.

If you live in Alberta or Saskatchewan, please consult your provincial government regarding any additional laws or regulations that may affect your participation in the ASFCP.

PROHIBITED FIREARMS AMNESTY ENDS OCTOBER 30, 2026

If you own a prohibited firearm, please note that the amnesty orders in place since May 1, 2020, December 5, 2024 and March 7, 2025, as applicable to the respective prohibitions, allowing you to legally possess and store your firearm, will end on October 30, 2026.

If you choose not to participate in the ASFCP, your prohibited firearms and devices must either be disposed of, or permanently deactivated, by October 30, 2026.

All owners of prohibited firearms that were previously restricted must notify the Canadian Firearms Program that those firearms have been properly disposed of or permanently deactivated.

Please ensure to dispose of or permanently deactivate your prohibited firearm or device by October 30, 2026. Failure to do so places you at risk of losing your Possession and Acquisition Licence and criminal liability.

If you choose not to participate in the ASFCP, a list of alternative disposal options is available at: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-saf...n-individual/collection-disposal-options.html

Please note: while some police services choose not to participate in the ASFCP, this does not impact the role of police in enforcing the law on the possession of prohibited firearms, nor does it change your obligation as a law-abiding firearms owner to comply with the law.

​

The Canadian Firearms Program facilitated the delivery of this notification on behalf of Public Safety Canada and has not shared or disclosed any licence holder names, addresses or personal information with Public Safety Canada. Please ensure that your email is up-to-date with the Canadian Firearms Program to receive direct ASFCP updates. Alternatively, updates will be available on the ASFCP website.

Okay so how about becoming a non law abiding citizen? It seems the obligation cannot be extended both ways at the moment.
 
I remember I wrote my exam to get a license and then when I thought about it, I realized a gun license was the most stupid thing anyone could get. It just puts a target on your back for the government. I spoke to an RCMP detachment head and he told me they do treat people with gun licences different than without. I said fuck it and never got a license. Don't regret that at all. In a situation where I need a gun, a licence won't stop me from having one.
 
Who says you don't need one now? I find this line of thinking bullshit to be honest. The more people who have a PAL, the better because it normalizes gun ownership rather than stigmatizes it.

I don't give a fuck if that puts me on the RCMP's radar, because having a PAL and owning firearms isn't a crime. It only proves the point that legal firearm owners commit less crime than the general population and the police know this.

Oy, better get your loicense to breathe from the government so it legitimizes how you don't need one and everyone should be able to breathe without the government! Oh, and as a bonus we can help with statistics that the government lies about anyway!

How about you just get a gun without a license like a normal person.
 
@CaptainTrouble You're worried that you'll have a target on your back because you'll be on a police database for having a firearms license, but you're here on a public right-wing internet forum that everyone knows is being actively monitored posting about how you intend to obtain firearms illegally when necessary. You don't think that's gonna land you on a watchlist? Are you fucking stupid?
 
@.x8 We're all on a watchlist by now lmao

Having a gun license only moves you up on the watchlist....
And talking about having a gun without a license puts you at the top of that watchlist
:blaughing
 
It's not just that they are trying to fuck with people who already legally own the guns. The fact that a licensed person can't go and purchase whatever banned gun they want is also bullshit.
 
All of these RCMP emails are nothing more then cyber toilet paper.

I made a vow to buy a new firearm or bunch of ammo every month for the rest of the year.

In January I finally bought an SKS after years of putting it off cause I didn't want commie/chink shit, but I got one cause I thought they were gonna ban them. February I bought a brick of 1000 rounds of 7.62x39. What should I get next month? I'm thinking a shotgun for drones. Maybe a mag fed shotgun cause they were talking about banning those and we could potentially be facing hostile armed drone swarms in a few years like in Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines, and it may be prudent to have the ability to swap between mags, maybe even with different loads of buckshot, birdshot, and slugs in different mags.

The other option is maybe get another rifle for the 7.62x49 ammo maybe a bolt action rifle, but also the ballistics on 7.62x39 are not great over very long range so maybe some kind of scout rifle or SBR boltie. Maybe just get another SKS so I have a backup and/or backup parts if one breaks.

To the RCMP reading freecanada.win: Please understand every time you remind us to hand over out guns you just inspire us to buy more guns and ammo. This makes your collection process much more difficult as more firearms are leaving retailers where they could be more easily collected, and are instead sold to private citizens who will be keeping their guns and protecting their guns from falling into other people's (your) hands who then may use them in crimes like sending them to Ukraine to help kill Ukrainians who don't want to fight the war or execute Russian prisoners of war as the government of Canada has said they want to do with our firearms.
