Canada Unveils “Mandatory” AR-15 Buyback Program; US House Passes Assault Weapons Ban

The Canadian government wants people’s semi-automatic rifles. They unveiled a new gun buyback plan to purchase “assault-style” weapons that the federal government banned in early 2020.

Public Safety Canada released a statement last week indicating that the gun buyback program is “mandatory for individuals to participate,” according to CTV News.

AR platform firearms will be bought under the mandatory buyback program for $1,337 per rifle. The price reflects what owners paid for them pre-2020. Here’s a list of prohibited firearms and what the government is offering gun owners:

•  AR Platform firearms such as the M16, AR-10, and AR-15 rifles, and the M4 carbine: $1,337
•  Beretta Cx4 Storm: $1,317
•  CZ Scorpion EVO 3 carbine and CZ Scorpion EVO 3 pistol: $1,291
•  M14 Rifle: $2,612
•  Robinson Armament XCR rifle: $2,735
•  Ruger Mini-14 rifle: $1,407
•  SG-550 rifle and SG-551 carbine: $6,209
•  SIG Sauer MCX, MPX forearms such as the SIG Sauer SIG MPX carbine, and the SIG Sauer SIG MPX pistol: $2,369
•  Vz58 rifle: $1,139

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s aggressive campaign to disarm Canadians hasn’t stopped with prohibiting the sale and use of AR platform firearms and other types of weapons. He has proposed a countrywide “freeze” on the sale, import, and transfer of all handguns.

Trudeau appears to be following the blueprints of authoritarians: confiscate guns.
