Canada may turn to retired police officers to carry out a door-to-door confiscation of firearms, a senior official told a member of Parliament during a March hearing.

Then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced legislation known as C-21 to freeze handgun purchases and a “buy back” of military-style semi-automatic firearms in May 2022, with the bill receiving Royal Assent in December 2023. Conservative Member of Parliament Dane Lloyd of Alberta questioned Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree about the apparent large-scale refusal to comply from gun owners.

“Minister, the declaration period for firearms owners is scheduled to end next week. So far, only 2.5 percent of the estimated two million effected firearms have been declared and 98 percent [of] firearms owners haven’t made a declaration,” Lloyd said. “So, if they’re not declaring by next week, what’s your plan, Minister?”

 

 

Gun Grab Plan Sparks Backlash: Canada may turn to retired police officers for a door-to-door firearms confiscation push, a senior official told Parliament as the government’s C-21 “buyback” faces reported mass noncompliance, with just 2.5% of an estimated two million affected firearms declared ahead of the deadline. Conservative MP Dane Lloyd pressed Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree over the plan, warning of a stretched RCMP and rising violent crime; Anandasangaree said the RCMP and other agencies would be available through spring and summer to handle the collection.
