'The costs have ballooned': Liberal government failed to anticipate difficulty of gun 'buyback,' association says

He said the new rules have already shuttered dozens of retailers across Canada.

But fails to list them.

This is an opinion piece masquerading as news.

We’re 4 years on in less than a month, do you think that if the Liberals and RCMP really knew what they were doing they’d have at least started confiscating by now, especially since these guns are apparently too dangerous for regular citizens to own?

Wes Winkel is a jackass so take all the runs at him you want, but the article is very much news.

Does this make buying a pile of guns a good investment? What’s the ROI on buyback programs? Is there any limits to quantity during buyback?

Human lives are pretty fucking expensive so there’s usually a net gain.

Buying a pile of guns is a good investment regardless.

Someone’s mentioned guns. Cue the nutballs who don’t know this isn’t Minnesota.

1984 in the name; “a pile of guns is a good investment”. Oh no. It’s Op. :(

Didn’t something similar happen in some US state? They had a buyback, but the wording meant (from poor memory…) people could 3D print an “upper”(??) or some other single part which was considered a “gun”?

It might be this, or another time I am recalling

This has nothing to do with 3D printing and everything to do with the government being incompetent when it comes to gun control (which is par for the course)
