Gun Amnesty Extended Until Supreme Court Ruling
from Edmonton News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The government just extended the amnesty window for banned firearms—owners now have until 90 days after the Supreme Court’s expected ruling next year to avoid legal trouble, instead of the original October 30 deadline. This move respects the ongoing judicial review of a controversial 2020 ban targeting over 2,500 firearm types—including the AR-15—deemed too dangerous for public use. Critics, including the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, argue the ban unfairly targets law-abiding hunters and sport shooters, challenging its implementation via an order-in-council rather than Parliament. While lower courts rejected their claims, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, with some provinces backing the challenge. Meanwhile, the government continues collecting firearms under its compensation program—already receiving over 142,000 submissions—while the ultimate fate of these weapons hangs in the balance, pending the Court’s decision.
