People Aren't Complying With Canada's Gun Grab. Could It Get Ugly?

Over the next several months, things might get even more interesting in Canada. The nation enaced more gun control legislation not too long ago, ordering Canadians to turn over their firearms.

Turns out less than three percent of Canadians have complied thus far, and this makes the politicians very unhappy.

"The declaration period for firearms owners is scheduled to end next week, so far only 2.5 percent of the estimated two million affected firearms have been declared and 98 percent of firearms owners haven't made a declaration," said Dane Lloyd. "So if they're not declaring by next week, what's your plan, Minister?"

"The RCMP and other agencies will be available throughout the spring and the summer to do the collection," the Minister replied. 

"And you're saying that your plan is over the spring and the summer to deploy RCMP officers to go door to door to firearms owners and seize their firearms?" Lloyd asked. 

"These are additional resources, so these are those who are off-duty, those who may be retired," the minister replied. 

"I just find that very concerning that we're going to be sending police officers door to door because, frankly, many police forces across the country are refusing to participate in your program," Lloyd said. "And I think they have very good reasons to not want to participate in this program and putting people who are no longer serving as RCMP officers going door to door. Are you not concerned about this at all, Minister?

"I think you many not understand the full extent of the program," the Minister replied. "It's not a door to door program. It is a mobile collection, will occur ... the program that we have in place is voluntary, it's strictly voluntary so they're not compelled to take part in the program although compliance with the law is not voluntary."

That, of course, is a contradiction.

"As you are aware, as of October 31st or 30th of this year, the amnesty that was extended expires," the Minister continued.

"So after that amnesty expires," Lloyd replied, "what's your government's plans for those firearms owners that might still be in possession of these firearms?"

"Every police and jurisdiction will, as you are aware, need to enforce the law."

Never, ever give up your guns.

Yes, it is.

The post reads:

Before a totalitarian regime embarks on something that the people will strongly oppose, it first takes the weapons away from lawful owners.

Communist Soviet Union 1918 
National Socialist Germany 1933
Communist China 1949 
Communist Cuba 1959 
Communist Red Khmer 1975 

That's exactly what they do.

May it not come to that.
