Gun Buyback Fails: $342M Spent, Zero Impact

📝 DESCRIPTION
Gun Buyback Fails: $342M Spent, Zero Impact—and that’s not political spin. That’s the government’s own data.

Canada’s firearm buyback program, hailed as a pillar of Liberal gun control, is falling apart. Despite $342 million allocated this year alone, almost no firearms have been confiscated. Polls show the vast majority of gun owners refuse to comply—and it’s not out of rebellion, but reason. These are law-abiding Canadians: hunters, farmers, collectors—people who’ve played by the rules for decades. And now they’re being punished while the real roots of gun crime—gang violence, smuggling, and failed judicial enforcement—remain unaddressed.

Public trust is eroding. Over 75% of owners believe the government is unfairly targeting legal gun owners, while 84% say violence comes from illegal guns. Even law enforcement unions like the National Police Federation agree: this buyback will do little, if anything, to keep Canadians safe.

At what point does the public safety narrative become a political cover? Why is Ottawa pouring hundreds of millions into a program with no proof of effectiveness—especially when communities need real solutions, not virtue signals?

What would a real public safety plan look like in your community?
And how should governments rebuild trust with citizens they’ve chosen to scapegoat?
