Feds eyeing 'variety of options' for planned firearm buyback program: Mendicino

OTTAWA — Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says the federal government is “looking at a variety of options” to carry out a planned buyback of banned firearms — including enlisting outside help.

Canadian police chiefs have urged the Liberal government not to rely on resource-strapped police forces to deliver the coming gun buyback.

In May 2020, the government announced a ban through order-in-council on over 1,500 models and variants of what it considers assault-style firearms, such as the AR-15 and the Ruger Mini-14.

It said those guns were designed to kill people and had no place in hunting or sport shooting.
