Subhead:The province says the $700 million program targets law-abiding firearms owners and fails to enhance safety.#
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her province won’t participate in the Liberal government’s gun buyback program and that its municipal police forces will focus on “real” policing priorities.
“Alberta’s government will not be cooperating with this gun grab against law-abiding firearms owners,” Smith wrote on social media. “We expect law enforcement to focus their time and resources on real provincial policing priorities, like policing violent criminals, not hunters and sport-shooters.”
