Police, Politicians Create New Setbacks For Canadian Gun Control

Summary

Canada's federal gun buyback/seizure program, initiated by a 2020 Order In Council banning firearms like the AR-15 and Mini-14, is facing significant setbacks. Police forces in Cornwall, Ontario, and throughout New Brunswick have announced their refusal to participate in the program, citing diversion of resources. Additionally, the federal government is reportedly leveraging Possession-Acquisition Licence (PAL) renewals to compel compliance from gun owners.
