Subhead:A report from the Privy Council Office reveals the Liberal gun grab “faces a risk of non-compliance” as bureaucrats work to acquire a “a deeper understanding” of law-abiding firearms owners’ motivations.#
The Liberals’ efforts to remove firearms from law-abiding Canadians is severely behind schedule, over-budget and now, according to a new internal report, Ottawa is skeptical of the plan it envisioned coming to fruition.
Five years and hundreds of millions of dollars after former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau first set his sights on Canadian gun owners, just less than 13,000 firearms have been gathered by the government.
An internal report from the Privy Council Office obtained by the National Post reveals even those within the government believe it is “unlikely to be the most trusted messenger with individuals who own assault-style firearms.”
This means the “program faces a risk of non-compliance” as it cites “psychological, physical and logistical barriers.”
The report suggests bureaucrats need “a deeper understanding” of law-abiding owners’ motivations to “help” the government address “financial, cultural, recreational,” or “safety-driven” concerns.
