Canada launches "voluntary" assault style firearms compensation program

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChLtXXpo4Ge1ReTEboVvTDg https://ift.tt/OsVuQLw Minister of Public Safety of Canada Gary Anandasangaree said on Tuesday that the government is moving ahead with implementing an efficient gun buyback program for assault-style firearms such as the AR-15–style rifle. "The Assault Style Firearms Compensation Program provides a way for firearm owners to safely dispose of and or deactivate their assault-style firearms and receive compensation in return," he said. A pilot program will begin in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, on Tuesday, with plans for a nationwide rollout later in the fall of 2025, followed by a collection and compensation phase in 2026. Anandasangaree added that this program is "voluntary" and "nobody is having their weapon confiscated."
