Let's hope Americans have as much balls as the Canadians

Come and Take It: Canadians Aren't Complying with New Gun Law

It would not go well for the government goons sent to collect those not voluntarily turned in here, or there.

Why do the Canadians have balls? It says they have until April before it goes into effect; that gives them four additional months to decide where their balls will be.

I would imagine in the more remote areas there are lots of shoot, shovel, shutup options.

I certainly would not want to be sent out into the deep woods looking for locals that had illegal guns. Like many places here in the US, things happen.

Hogs have to eat too.

After the deadline passes to turn them in, I suspect the government won't go on any large scale raids of people's homes to steal these firearms.
They'll simply instruct law enforcement to keep an eye out for them in the course of their duties, and steal them from their owners when they come across them.
More of a "confiscation by attrition" over time.

THEN they'll likely make examples of people with stiff fines and jail time.
This will scare some into turning them in, and cause others to "deep hide" them, taking them in essence out of circulation.

The Canadian government attempted to register all fire arms 20 or sonyears ago...they ignored the law and the government backed down... Suspect they will continue with those frosty balls!

We will see if Canadians have balls if April 2022 looks something like April 1775.

You should read the article again...slowly....maybe you'll catch that the law is currently in effect since May.

OK, semantics. I guess you prefer "deadline" as opposed to "effective"?

I seem to recall when AR bans passed out on the East coast somewhere the rate of compliance was dismally low. I would think the same thing would occur if they tried it again here, but I could be wrong.

Canadians are not ones to stand up to their government. Just look at how the Covid restrictions are going up there.

I seem to remember that as well, iirc they estimated less than 1% were turned in/destroyed/transferred out of state.
